About the Role

We’re looking for a highly organised, adaptable Office Administrator to join our clients team.

This is a versatile, hands-on role. From supporting senior leadership to managing day-to-day office operations and onboarding clients, you will be involved in a wide range of responsibilities across the business (including statutory filings, assisting with invoicing, covering reception etc.)

You will be part of a team where everyone is expected to take ownership, keeps things moving, and supports each other. You will need to be someone who takes pride in getting things done, maintains a professional attitude, and can stay calm and focused under pressure—even when the work is repetitive or fast-moving.

This is a great opportunity to grow quickly in a company where visibility and impact matter.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Coordinating client onboarding and compliance checks including AML documentation, identity verification, and risk assessments
  • Maintaining accurate filing systems and keeping statutory records up to date
  • Ensuring high standards are met across all admin-related processes
  • Supporting the onboarding of new employees and ensuring smooth internal workflows
  • Liaising between departments, partners, and clients with professionalism
  • Formatting documents and communications for both internal and external use
  • Managing post, supplies, and the overall office environment
  • Supporting events, social activities, and wider team initiatives
  • Identifying small ways to improve day-to-day efficiency and processes

What We Are Looking For

  • Strong attention to detail — especially when handling documents or data
  • Able to follow compliance processes carefully and work with pace and accuracy
  • Versatile, adaptable working style — happy to take on a range of tasks and responsibilities
  • Highly organised, able to juggle multiple priorities
  • A positive, professional attitude and willingness to get stuck in
  • Self-starter who works well independently but enjoys being part of a team
  • Confidence with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word in particular)
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Who This Role Suits

This role is ideal for someone who:

  • Thrives in a role with clear structure, high expectations, and visible impact
  • Is comfortable handling sensitive documents and working within compliance frameworks
  • Understands that small, routine tasks play a big role in company success
  • Likes variety and being involved in different areas of the business
  • Works well in a small team where everyone pulls their weight
  • Is keen to grow and take on more responsibility over time

What Makes Us Different

  • Competitive salary & bonus scheme
  • 22+ days annual leave
  • Flexible working hours
  • Dress for your diary
  • Regular socials & free daily breakfast/fruit
  • Cycle & EV schemes
  • Tech-enabled, people-first firm with exceptional staff retention
