• Manage and maintain records of expenditure in all areas, producing reports as required and working with our Finance team
• We really value health and wellbeing here — you’ll work with Health Advocates to manage our Better Health at Work initiative
• Coordinate and communicate relevant employee benefits (e.g. you can get a massage in the office every Tuesday and Wednesday!)
• Monitor and support health and safety within the office and discuss any incidents or concerns with the Senior HR Manager
• Manage the relationship with our suppliers, landlord and partners to ensure the office is a great place to work, including cleaning contracts and security, and keep our suppliers to their promises
