• Arranging vehicle bookings and liaising with the prison where required
• Checking and monitoring clearances for new starters
• Maintaining accurate records, correspondence and documentation in line with audit requirements
• Assisting with payroll, purchasing, invoicing and payments where required
• Monitoring enquiries and ensuring they are dealt with within agreed timescales

• Providing general administrative and project support to the wider team

We are looking for someone who has:

• Previous administrative experience, within Construction would be beneficial
• Good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Word and Excel
