About the Role

~2 min read

The Admin Assistant will be responsible for keeping the day-to-day running smoothly across basic bookkeeping, financial administration, office management, and general admin support. No two days will look exactly the same. One day you might be processing expenses, supporting payroll admin, and reconciling records; the next you could be coordinating office logistics, organising a company event, helping onboard a new starter, or making sure our monthly All Hands runs smoothly.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being organised, takes pride in getting the details right, and likes helping others. You'll have the opportunity to work with people across the company, gain exposure to different areas of the business, and become a trusted go-to person for keeping things run efficiently.

Support basic Health & Safety administration (e.g., keeping records up to date, coordinating risk assessment where needed, manage office incident reporting, and ensuring required checks/training reminders are scheduled or performed)

Maintain key admin documentation (policies, templates, contact lists, access lists)

Support on other administrative tasks across the business as required

People admin support

Support the set up and coordination of company-wide meetings (e.g., All Hands logistics)

Help organise company events (venues, food, comms, attendance lists)
