Part-time, for ~12-16 months cover for Maternity Leave, office based role. Competitive salary and benefits package (details available upon request).
We are looking for a highly organised and reliable Office Administrator to support our team with both office administration duties and helping to coordinate technical paperwork. We are looking for somebody to join us part-time, ideally around 30 hours per week (we can be flexible on hours / days). This is a fixed term contract for maternity leave cover, but we are looking for somebody to join us as soon as possible to smooth the transition and learn from our current Office Administrator ahead of her maternity leave. Therefore the contract length will depend on how quickly the successful candidate is able to join us.
We work closely with our clients to understand their specific requirements and help them to create products that stand out from the crowd. Our technical knowledge and creative thinking enable us to develop high quality formulations that are safe, stable, effective and that delight consumers. We are a hard working team that is very active within the beauty industry, and we constantly have lots of projects on the go at any one time. We are therefore looking for an enthusiastic and friendly Office Administrator to join our wonderful team and help us to maintain our high levels of organisation in the best possible way.

We know that applying for a new job can be pretty daunting, and job adverts often don’t give much away about the company itself or the culture of the team that you could be joining and spending a lot of your time with.
