Job description

The Opportunity Peterborough is a rapidly growing hub for the civil service, environmental technology, and regional logistics. We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Administrative Assistant to join a fast-paced business operations team. In this role, you are the organizational glue that keeps the department running smoothly—ensuring that data is accurate, communication is seamless, and the office remains a productive environment for the entire team. The Role & Department You will be based in a modern office environment, providing essential clerical support to the Senior Management Team (SMT) and department leads. This role is perfect for a multi-tasker who enjoys a mix of digital data management and traditional office coordination. You will be part of a collaborative administrative hub, where efficiency and a "can-do" attitude are highly valued. The department prides itself on professional development, often serving as a springboard for careers in office management, HR, or finance. Core Responsibilities Data Management: Accurately inputting and updating records on the company’s internal database, ensuring all information is kept secure and compliant with GDPR. First Point of Contact: Managing the general inbox and switchboard, filtering inquiries, and redirecting them to the appropriate team members with professional speed. Meeting Coordination: Organizing schedules, booking meeting rooms via digital calendars, and assisting in the preparation of agendas and briefing packs. Document Control: Drafting professional correspondence, formatting reports, and maintaining an organized digital and physical filing system. Operational Logistics: Monitoring office supplies, coordinating with external vendors (such as couriers or maintenance), and assisting with the onboarding paperwork for new staff. The Successful Candidate We are looking for an individual who takes pride in "the details" and stays calm when the workload builds up. Requirements include: Experience: Previous experience in an administrative or office-based role is preferred, though we welcome motivated candidates from retail or hospitality backgrounds who possess strong transferable skills. Tech Proficiency: Confident use of the Microsoft Office Suite—particularly Excel for data entry and Outlook for complex calendar management. Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a high standard of spelling and grammar. Work Ethic: A high level of discretion when handling sensitive information and a proactive approach to solving minor office bottlenecks before they become issues. Why Join Us? A role that offers a clear view into the inner workings of a major Peterborough-based organization. Access to ongoing training in software platforms, data protection, and professional business communication. The opportunity to work in a city with a fantastic balance of historic culture and modern commercial growth, located just minutes from the A1(M) and the East Coast Main Line. A supportive, professional environment that recognizes and rewards efficiency and reliability. How to Apply Please submit your current CV to begin the application process for this Administrative Assistant position.
