This permanent position offers a minimum of 30 hours per week, with the potential to increase to full-time. You will provide essential administrative support to the wider team and help ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the practice. The primary focus of this role is administration.

You may already have office administration experience, customer service experience, or be looking to start your career within a professional office environment. An interest in business, accounting, or finance would be advantageous but is certainly not essential.

You'll Bring:

• Strong computer skills and confidence using office systems.
• Excellent data entry accuracy and attention to detail.
• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• The ability to manage competing priorities
• Confidence communicating with a wide range of people.
• A proactive mindset and willingness to contribute ideas.

• Exposure to the accounting and professional services industry.
• Valuable insight into accounting processes and client services.
• The opportunity to contribute ideas and help modernise office systems and workflows.

• Reserved on-site car parking.
• Convenient Lincoln Road location.
• A stable, long-term opportunity with a reputable and growing local business.
