About the Opportunity
Working for an established waste management and recycling business currently undergoing significant growth, investment, and restructuring.
We are completely refurbishing our head office and improving many of our internal systems, processes, and ways of working. This is an excellent opportunity to join the business at an exciting stage of development and become a key part of the office team.
This is not a traditional reception-only role. We are looking for someone who can provide strong day-to-day business support while also helping us improve how the office is organised, how documentation is controlled and how information is shared across the business.
Key Responsibilities
The role will include:
* Managing incoming telephone calls and directing enquiries to the appropriate department

* Helping to create and maintain structured folders and information within Microsoft Teams

* Supporting the implementation of improved internal systems and procedures
* Helping maintain staff directories, company information, and business records
* Assisting with preparation of reports, spreadsheets, documents, and correspondence
* Supporting different departments with administration when required
* Helping coordinate meetings, visitors, training, and internal events
* Taking ownership of general office organisation and identifying where improvements can be made
Document Management & Microsoft Teams
A particularly important part of this role will be document management and Microsoft Teams.
We are looking for someone confident in:
* Creating logical and well-structured filing systems
* Managing shared folders and documents
* Implementing document naming and version-control processes
* Keeping documentation current, organised and accessible
* Setting up and maintaining Microsoft Teams channels and folders
* Helping colleagues use Teams in a consistent and structured way
* Supporting the movement away from fragmented or duplicated records
* Maintaining audit-ready documentation
Previous experience in document control, quality systems, or working in an audit-driven environment would be highly advantageous.

Strong Microsoft Teams experience
Excellent Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, Word, and Outlook
Strong document management and organisational skills

Excellent written and verbal communication
Confidence dealing with clients, suppliers, and senior management
