Job description

We’re looking for an experienced and proactive Office Manager to jump into a busy, fast-paced environment and provide hands‑on support across the wider team.

This is a great temporary opportunity for someone who is a natural all‑rounder and enjoys being the person who keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll be happy to roll up your sleeves, pick up whatever needs doing and quickly get across new systems and processes.

About the role

No two days will necessarily look the same. You’ll be supporting the day‑to‑day running of the office while providing general administrative and operational support wherever needed. Your responsibilities could include:

• Managing the general day‑to‑day running of the office
• Providing administration and coordination support across the wider team
• Managing office supplies, facilities and general office requirements
• Assisting with internal communications, documentation and ad hoc projects
• Coordinating suppliers, contractors and other external contacts
• Supporting with customer or team queries as required
• Keeping systems, records and processes organised and up to date
• Jumping in to help with whatever needs to be done to keep things moving

About you

You’ll be someone who is organised, capable and happy to get stuck in from day one. As this is a temporary role, you’ll need to be comfortable picking things up quickly, working autonomously and using your initiative.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous office management, administration or coordination experience
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities
• A proactive approach and willingness to help across different areas
• Confidence learning new systems and processes quickly
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
• Great attention to detail and a practical, solutions‑focused mindset
• The ability to hit the ground running in a busy environment

If you’re an experienced office all‑rounder looking for your next temporary assignment and enjoy being at the heart of a busy team, we’d love to hear from you.
