Our client is a long-standing, family-run business based in Manchester, with over 100 years of experience supplying engraving, signage, and marking products to sectors including engineering, transport, and manufacturing.
They operate as a small, close-knit team in a practical, no-frills environment where everyone gets stuck in and supports each other. It's a place for people who value doing honest, quality work in a straightforward setting.
We’re looking for a hands-on, organised, and proactive individual to join them as an Office Administrator / Support Assistant. This is a varied and rewarding role that combines admin responsibilities with light production tasks — ideal for someone who enjoys a mix of desk and hands-on work.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Process customer orders and quotes using Sage, ensuring accurate invoicing and data entry.
2. Manage courier bookings and dispatches to meet delivery deadlines.
3. Monitor shared inboxes and support general admin, including spreadsheets and workflow tracking.
4. Perform quality control checks on outgoing orders to ensure accuracy and presentation.
5. Assist with light production tasks like preparing labels and packing items.
6. Support the wider team with ad hoc tasks – no job too big or small.
What We’re Looking For:
1. Strong attention to detail and pride in doing a job well.
2. A team player who’s flexible and willing to help out where needed.
3. Comfortable using software like Sage (or keen to learn), Outlook, and Excel.
4. Previous experience in a small business or hands-on work environment is a plus.
5. A positive attitude and a willingness to get involved in all aspects of the role.
Why Join?
1. Join a respected business with a rich history and a loyal customer base.
2. Be part of a small, supportive team where your input makes a difference.
3. Enjoy a varied role with no red tape or office politics.
4. Potential to move into a permanent position following the initial 6-month contract.
