Admin Assistant

**Admin Assistant**

**Salary**: £10.50 per hour (£20,457 FTE)

Flexible - Part time, Permanent

Home based - must live within a commutable distance to Leeds

At Crescent Business Support, we’re looking for someone to join our fast-growing team of virtual assistants as an Admin Assistant. This is a flexible role, covering up to 15 hours per week primarily working from home.

As a business, our job is to make our clients’ lives easier with exceptional standards of office support. Therefore, we’re looking for someone who has worked in administration and has the confidence and knowledge to tackle the role with skill and enthusiasm.

You’ll have experience in a similar role, some knowledge of office support systems, and be able to grasp new tasks quickly - though we will offer training where required.

To thank you for your work ethic and dedication to doing a great job, you’ll be able to work remotely and have some flexibility with your hours to fit around family and lifestyle commitments.

This is a permanent, part-time role. We’re looking for someone to start as soon as possible on a contract salary of £10.50 per hour (£20,457 FTE).

**What is the role?**

As Admin Assistant, you’ll be working mainly alongside our founder, Amy, to support both the running of Crescent Business Support and our client accounts.

Your role will include:

- Updating the company website and social media
- Organising meetings and travel
- Sending invoices and other accounting duties using Xero Cloud Accounting
- Credit control
- Sending out new client contracts and setting up clients on our system
- Ensuring deadlines are met
- Acting as a liaison between other members of the team
- Writing and following office protocols and policies
- Carrying out daily data entry activities, as well as other admin tasks (such as filing)
- Maintaining company records to make sure we’re compliant with data protection laws
- Attending and participating in necessary meetings, networking activities and training sessions.
- Other additional tasks may be reasonably required on occasion.

**What skills are we looking for?**

Our clients bring us on board because they need someone who can take over their processes and make their lives easier. So, we’re looking for someone to join us who has the experience and confidence to take on tasks with ease and efficiency.

Of course, not every system nor every piece of software will be familiar, and we will offer training. Yet we need someone who is confident using Microsoft packages - specifically Outlook, Word and Excel - and who has the ability and willingness to learnquickly.

We’re also looking for someone who has the skills and professionalism our clients have come to know and expect from us. To be successful, you’ll be:

- Well-organised
- A great communicator, with excellent verbal and written communication and thorough attention to detail
- Able to show a positive attitude at all times when dealing with clients
- Computer literate
- Have great attention to detail
- Polite and well-mannered
- Able to follow instructions and be confident making decisions
- Educated to at least GCSE Level 5 in both English and Maths
- Able to work in a group and well as independently.

As we support our clients virtually, you must have experience working remotely or from home.

We’d prefer someone with bookkeeping and social media experience, but these skills are not essential.

**What about holidays and benefits?**

This is a great opportunity for someone who has a busy lifestyle and is looking for flexible hours working up to 15 hours per week. You’ll be able to work remotely for the majority of the time. However, you will be expected to attend meetings and representus at networking events when necessary.

Pay depends on your qualifications and experience, but will initially start at £10.50ph. You’ll also have the opportunity to earn overtime.

Other benefits include:

- 17 days holiday per year, including statutory bank holidays (28 days per year FTE)
- Christmas closure: the office will close for Xmas Day to New Years’ Day inclusive. The working days in this closure period will not be taken from your holiday allowance and will be in addition.
- Day off for your birthday
- Company pension scheme available (if applicable)
- Cash plan for general health expenses
- Regular team lunches.
