What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in an administrative or office support role, ideally within a professional services, corporate, or similar fast-paced environment.
- Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to prioritise a varied workload effectively, managing multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
- A proactive, 'can-do' attitude, with high levels of discretion and confidentiality when handling sensitive information.
