Are you an experienced PA who can walk into a new office and take charge from day one? Our client, an established professional services firm, needs a capable temp to cover an absence during an exceptionally busy deadline period.
You'll be joining an office with procedures already in place. You'll learn the systems quickly and then run the admin on your own, without close supervision.

What you'll be doing
Managing appointments and providing general PA and office support
Preparing letters, correspondence, client documents and invoices
Handling telephone and email enquiries
Keeping electronic and paper records up to date, plus printing and scanning
Sending urgent documents by courier, from preparing the shipment and booking collection to tracking it and resolving delivery problems
Supporting the professional team through a peak deadline

What we're looking for
Solid experience as a PA, senior administrator, office manager or team assistant
Someone who can be shown a task once or twice and then handle it independently
Experience with courier bookings (FedEx, DHL or similar), or the ability to pick up an existing process quickly and run it alone
Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Outlook
Calm, organised and reliable under deadline pressure
Professional on the phone and discreet with confidential client information
Experience in accountancy, tax, legal or financial services is highly desirable

The details

Based in the office
Location: East London, close to the Central line and with good road links
