Fathers Direct, the National Information Centre for Fathers, has a vacancy for Administrative Assistant. (click here for our website).
We are a relatively small team of highly motivated individuals, based in various parts of the country, and we are looking for the right person to join us, to provide first class administrative assistance in our Barbican office.
Tasks involve a combination of daily office duties, such as dealing effectively with in-coming and out-going correspondence, sensitively answering telephone calls, data-entry and various other tasks which reflect the many different projects that we create, such as conferences and press launches.
We are looking for someone with an excellent telephone manner, and a meticulous eye for detail. Experience in Word, Excel, Outlook and Access are essential, as is a confident and cheerful attitude. The nature of our work often requires that tasks are completed to a tight schedule, so we need someone who enjoys working under pressure from time to time, whilst maintaining a sense of humour.
The position reports directly to the Office Manager.
This is a part time role and there is an element of flexibility around the hours that will be set - this can be discussed at an interview.
The salary is £17,000 pro rata (£8,500 per annum) + 5% pension contribution, with 22 days holiday pro-rata. Fathers Direct is an Equal Opportunities employer. Any offer of employment will be subject to a two-month probationary period.
