Job Summary
This role would suit a self-starter – someone that loves executing and takes pride in getting things done on time and accurately.
About the role
Are you naturally organized and efficient?
Do you get a buzz from seeing your work make a difference?
We need an Office Administrator who will get the job done and shows initiative. A true self-starter. What’s a self-starter I hear you ask? By definition, a self-starter is someone who has the initiative and desire to work independently. This doesn’t have to mean always working on your own; but rather being able to get stuck in without needing too much supervision.
We’re looking for someone who can balance urgency and high standards, and who relishes in finding solutions when presented with challenges. If the person we’re looking for is you, you might recognise yourself as accurate, organised, efficient, a great people person and excited about learning. You’ll be a positive individual who finds satisfaction in ticking things off and getting them done.
We want someone with superb written and verbal communication skills and if you’re a Microsoft Office and Xero whiz, that’s even better. You may have attained a Certificate, Diploma or Degree and while this would be advantageous, it is not necessary. To fit into the organisation you will definitely be a team player, yet be able to work independently.
While the role is office based and not involved in work out in the field, you will need to be someone who isn’t afraid of getting your hands dirty with all of the duties involved in a typical small business office. You may also have previous experience in a basic accounts role, possibly working in a small business trades-based environment.
Reporting to the owner of the business, you’ll have a varied and interesting role that includes the following:
- Answering incoming calls
- Attending to emails
- Account reconciliation
- Debtor collection
- Job scheduling
- Data entry
- Calendar management
- Assisting in quotation process
- Preparation of client documentation
The successful applicant must have:
- 3+ years administration background
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.)
- Background in Xero highly favoured but not essential
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to multi-task, organize, and prioritise work
- Strong attention to detail
- Account reconciliation experience
- Quoting / estimating background highly favoured but not essential
What we offer:
- A workplace that gives you a voice to recommend improvements on how we operate
- Flexible working hours/days, 25-35 hours per week available
- Fixed-term contract position, covering a maternity leave absence for 12 months
- Full training from our current Office Administrator before she departs on maternity leave
- Dependent on company growth, opportunity for the role to continue post 12 months
- Work from home opportunities available
- Competitive salary – negotiable based on experience
