The Role:

We're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Operations Administrator to join our team on a 6-month fixed-term contract with an immediate start.

No two days are the same. One day you could be organising inductions for new employees, the next updating business records, coordinating company events, managing incoming enquiries or supporting fleet and operational systems.

We're less concerned about extensive experience and more interested in finding someone with a positive attitude, strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn.

This role has been created to provide additional support during a busy period of growth, projects and change. While the position is fixed-term for six months, there may be future opportunities for the right person.

Please note this is a fully office-based role, where working alongside the team each day is an important part of how we collaborate and support one another.

Working hours are Monday to Thursday 7.30am-4.30pm and Friday 7.30am-4.00pm.
