Secretary

A rapidly growing Building Consultancy in Birmingham is on the lookout for a dynamic Secretary to join their team. This is more than just a job; it's a chance to be part of a company that truly values its employees and fosters a supportive, family-like environment.

Why This Role Stands Out:

This consultancy offers a unique blend of professional growth and personal care. Employees enjoy a high level of support and understanding, ensuring that individual needs and situations are met with empathy. The company's transparent, secure, and fair work environment contributes to long employee tenures, with many team members staying for years.

In addition to a supportive atmosphere, the company is committed to giving back, donating 5% of profits to charities. The office is surrounded by beautiful nature, providing a serene space for lunch breaks and a refreshing work environment. With a remarkable 65% staff growth in the last two years, this is a place where careers flourish.

The Secretary Role:

The incoming Secretary will be responsible for:

• Providing accurate secretarial support, including audio and copy typing, and re-formatting documents as required
• Compiling complex reports using templates
• Reception duties: answering telephone calls, taking messages, meeting and greeting visitors, and providing refreshments
• Data entry into the document management system, including raising purchase orders and fee invoices
• General housekeeping, ensuring the office space is tidy, arranging service calls for IT and office equipment, and maintaining notice boards
• Ordering office supplies, stationery, coffee, milk, fruit, and refreshments for meetings
• Booking accommodation
• Managing absences and holidays to maintain the effectiveness of the support services team
• Supporting the office and team with any other reasonable tasks, including arranging staff events

The Secretary

The successful candidate will possess:

• Flexibility to handle a range of tasks
• Document formatting skills
• A professional telephone manner
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Compliance with management systems and policies, including Core and inter-related IT Systems
• A willingness to learn new skills and a proactive, can-do approach
• Strong capability with technology and embracing new systems
• Excellent administration, communication, and organizational skills
• The ability to prioritize tasks effectively
• Reliability and the ability to use initiative
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Attention to detail and confidentiality

In Return?

• Competitive salary: £30,000-£35,000
• Private Health Care (after 6 months)
• Life Assurance
• 25 days holiday, 1 day charity leave, and 1 wellbeing day per year
• Pension scheme
