Senior Administrator - one year fixed-term contract

We are seeking an enthusiastic individual to join our client's well-established, ever-growing team to assist with the effective delivery of working groups projects. This is a one year fixed-term contract, with every possibility to go permanent for the right person. You will be responsible for the planning and organising of project meetings, ensuring timelines are met and publications sent out on schedule, as well as taking minutes and distributing them, sending out of surveys for feedback, planning subsequent meetings and invites - this is a busy and varied role with often tight deadlines to meet.

Salary is £29-31,000 per annum, dependent upon experience. Hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, with the occasional need to stay a bit longer - eg until 530pm, if that is when a meeting is finishing, but on these occasions you will either start work later or claim the time back in toil. This is a hybrid position, where you will be working from home mostly, but must come into the office, which is based in Broadstairs, once a month. Those candidates living in Kent will be looked upon favourably. Benefits include 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays, NEST pension and hybrid working.
