About the Role
We’re looking for a highly organised, adaptable Office Administrator to join our team at Harris & Trotter LLP.
This is a versatile, hands-on role. From supporting senior leadership to managing day-to-day office operations and onboarding clients, you will be involved in a wide range of responsibilities across the business (including statutory filings, assisting with invoicing, covering reception etc.)
You will be part of a team where everyone is expected to take ownership, keeps things moving, and supports each other. You will need to be someone who takes pride in getting things done, maintains a professional attitude, and can stay calm and focused under pressure—even when the work is repetitive or fast-moving.
This is a great opportunity to grow quickly in a company where visibility and impact matter.
What You Will Be Doing
* Coordinating client onboarding and compliance checks including AML documentation, identity verification, and risk assessments
* Maintaining accurate filing systems and keeping statutory records up to date
* Ensuring high standards are met across all admin-related processes
* Supporting the onboarding of new employees and ensuring smooth internal workflows
* Liaising between departments, partners, and clients with professionalism
* Formatting documents and communications for both internal and external use
* Managing post, supplies, and the overall office environment
* Supporting events, social activities, and wider team initiatives
* Identifying small ways to improve day-to-day efficiency and processes
What We Are Looking For
* Strong attention to detail — especially when handling documents or data
* Able to follow compliance processes carefully and work with pace and accuracy
* Versatile, adaptable working style — happy to take on a range of tasks and responsibilities
* Highly organised, able to juggle multiple priorities
* A positive, professional attitude and willingness to get stuck in
* Self-starter who works well independently but enjoys being part of a team
* Confidence with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word in particular)
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills
* Previous admin or customer-facing experience is helpful, but not essential
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for someone who:
* Thrives in a role with clear structure, high expectations, and visible impact
* Is comfortable handling sensitive documents and working within compliance frameworks
* Understands that small, routine tasks play a big role in company success
* Likes variety and being involved in different areas of the business
* Works well in a small team where everyone pulls their weight
* Is keen to grow and take on more responsibility over time
What Makes Us Different
* Competitive salary & bonus scheme
* 22+ days annual leave
* Flexible working hours
* Dress for your diary
* Regular socials & free daily breakfast/fruit
* Cycle & EV schemes
* Tech-enabled, people-first firm with exceptional staff retention
