Temporary PA / Senior Administrator

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

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

This role needs someone who can hit the ground running, so we're looking for experienced candidates only.
