Working hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 with a one -hour lunch break

This role is truly the "glue" of the office—the vital link that keeps daily operations, vehicle tracking, and administration running seamlessly. Working directly alongside the Bookkeeper to support and assist with high -volume invoicing and statements, the successful candidate will step in to keep the finance and fleet desks running efficiently. While this is initially a 3 -month contract to cover an urgent gap, there is potential for extension and/or permanency for the right fit.

  • Accounts & Statement Admin: Manage the monthly submission of debtor statements, maintain up -to -date records, assist with standard debt collection call -downs, and help resolve basic billing disputes or customer enquiries.
  • Fleet & Petrol Administration: Take full ownership of collecting, verifying, and reconciling petrol slips for the company fleet; track fuel usage and manage vehicle logbooks.
  • Licensing & Compliance: Oversee the timely renewal of company vehicle licenses and ensure all fleet -related documentation is legally compliant and up to date.
  • General Office Administration: Act as the central point of contact for office logistics, maintain meticulous filing systems, and keep the Linbro Park office running smoothly.


Requirements


  • Software Proficiency: Sage Pastel Evolution experience is strictly essential. Must be comfortable processing invoices and navigating the system from day one.
  • Experience: 3+ years of experience in a dual Office Administration / Financial Admin role, ideally within a distribution, wholesale, or logistics environment.
  • Core Competencies: Strong foundational knowledge of basic bookkeeping (supporting the bookkeeper with invoices/statements) and prior experience handling petrol slip reconciliations or vehicle licensing.
  • Attributes: A mature, positive, and proactive individual who prides themselves on being the "glue" of a team. Must possess a sharp eye for detail, the ability to work under pressure, and a willingness to go the extra mile.
  • Logistics: Must reside within a reasonable commuting distance of Linbro Park, have reliable transport, and be available to start immediately.


Benefits


  • An autonomous, fast -paced contract within a highly stable business featuring a uniquely supportive, family -oriented team culture.
  • Opportunity: Initial 3 -month contract with potential to extend or convert to a permanent position based on performance and business needs.
