This position is full-time and office-based, Monday to Friday, offering the opportunity to work closely with colleagues and stakeholders in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

If you enjoy being hands-on, like being at the centre of activity, and take pride in accuracy and organisation, this could be a brilliant next step.

* Assist with supplier onboarding, audits and continuous improvement initiatives

* Work closely with project and administrative teams to support delivery deadlines

* Support general office administration when required

What we’re looking for

* Strong administrative and organisational skills

* Excellent attention to detail and accuracy

* Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with suppliers and internal stakeholders

* Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively

* Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word

* A proactive, solution-focused approach

Nice to have (but not essential)

* Experience working in a project-based or fast-moving business

* Familiarity with ERP or procurement systems

An excellent benefits package is offered, including:

* Company bonus scheme

* Private healthcare
