The Role
We’re looking for a super-organised, people-friendly administrator to help keep our Digital, Marketing and Business Enterprise teams running smoothly.
You’ll be right at the heart of our digital activity, triaging requests, managing web and marketing tasks, and helping make sure work is prioritised, tracked and delivered on time. You’ll be the go-to person who helps turn ideas and requests into clear actions, while also providing wider admin support that keeps everything ticking along behind the scenes.
If you enjoy variety, like bringing order to busy workloads, and get satisfaction from helping teams do their best work, this role is for you!
About You
You’re organised, proactive and enjoy making things happen.
You’re confident communicating with a wide range of people, happy juggling different tasks, and calm when things get busy. You don’t need to be a digital expert, but you’re curious, keen to learn new systems, and comfortable using that knowledge to help triage queries and solve problems.
You’ll have experience in an admin or coordination role, be comfortable working with digital tools and shared systems, and enjoy being the person who brings clarity, structure and a positive energy to the team.
