NO AGENCIES, PLEASE.
We are seeking a highly organised, confident and proactive person to support our admin team and HR department. This is a busy and varied role requiring someone who can facilitate the resolution of queries in an efficient and friendly manner whilst representing Zetica.
We are a scientific company with a complex and diverse assortment of roles. Being interested in who we are, what we do, understanding where people ‘sit’ within the company, will help you get to grips with this stimulating position.
You will assist the admin team in their requirements, and you will be trained how to use our purchase order system which is strongly aligned to our accounts system.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys multitasking, and is very confident in their computer skills, checking information, producing documents and maintaining spreadsheets. It is a full-time role, but part time of at least 0.8 FTE across 5 days would be considered for the right candidate.
You will be responsible for a mix of office administration and HR-related tasks to ensure smooth day-to-day operations on reception.
The Team
You will be reporting directly to the Office Manager while working closely with the HR Manager. You will be part of the administrative team that supports the company on all things logistical and financial. You will be working in a lovely open space and in this position, you will be accessible to all employees, being able to help them with tasks and queries in a discreet manner, within the confines of Zetica’s goals.

* Checking stock and keeping it topped-up (e.g. copiers, stationery, kitchen supplies)
