Role Purpose
The Admin and Support Assistant will provide robust operational and administrative support to the Executive Assistant, helping ensure smooth day-to-day processes across ordering, travel & logistics, documentation, data tracking, and general office administration. This is an entry-level (or early-career) role, ideal for someone who is highly organised, reliable, and keen to develop strong skills in executive support and office operations.
You will be part of a small team of 2, working very closely with the Executive team. Priorities can often change at short notice so being a personable team player who can quickly adapt to shifting needs as well as learn new tools and share additional responsibility is essential.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the Executive Assistant with travel bookings, itineraries, accommodation arrangements, meeting logistics, and expense tracking.
- Manage order processing and procurement tasks (stationery, office supplies, equipment), raising purchase orders, liaising with suppliers, checking delivery timelines, and ensuring billing/invoice accuracy.
- Perform data entry, maintain key administrative databases, update records (vendors, invoices, travel schedules, contact lists, etc.), ensuring data accuracy and consistency.
- Follow up and chase timelines for deliverables: supplier confirmations, meeting room bookings, documentation, paperwork, approvals, etc.
- Assist with printing, scanning, copying, and binding documents as needed, including formatting, proofing and preparing presentations or reports.
- Coordinate meeting logistics, including room bookings, refreshments, room layout, visitor management, and preparation of meeting materials.
- Support internal documentation processes, filing, archiving, and maintaining document control.
- Help organise internal events or team meetings as required (catering, room setup, invitations, communications).
- Interface with other teams (facilities, procurement, finance, IT) to ensure smooth administrative operations.
- Undertake other administrative tasks and ad hoc duties to support the executive team and overall office efficiency.
