Working closely with our recruitment consultants and management team, you will provide day-to-day administrative support across finance, marketing, recruitment operations and general office activities.

No previous recruitment experience is required. We're looking for someone with a positive attitude, good attention to detail and a willingness to learn.

• Help ensure the smooth running of day-to-day office activities.

Finance Administration

• Assist with basic invoicing and finance administration.

• Support the maintenance of financial records, spreadsheets and internal trackers.

• Help with checking information and processing routine finance-related documentation.

• Comfortable working with data and maintaining accurate records.

• Proactive, dependable and happy to support colleagues.

• Willing to learn new systems and develop new skills.

• Able to work independently while being part of a supportive team.

Previous office or administration experience would be beneficial but is not essential. We would welcome applications from school or college leavers, individuals looking for their first office-based role, or those wanting to build a career in business administration.

What We Offer

This is a varied role where no two days will be quite the same. You'll gain practical experience across different business functions, develop valuable administration and organisational skills, and work alongside experienced recruitment professionals.

For the right person, there will be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities as your confidence and experience grow.
