Administrative Assistant
Location: North London
Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday (8:00 AM – 4:35 PM)
About the Organisation
This role sits within a long-established and prestigious British heritage organisation that supports nationally significant institutions, public-sector bodies, and international clients. The organisation is known for its professionalism, precision, and commitment to maintaining high standards across all operational and administrative functions.
Working across multiple national contracts and internal departments, the team manages a wide range of documentation, scheduling, correspondence, and workflow coordination — making this an excellent environment for someone who enjoys structured, detail-focused, and varied administrative work.
The Opportunity
As an Administrative Assistant, you will play an important role in supporting day-to-day operations and ensuring administrative processes run smoothly and efficiently. You will work closely with senior colleagues, contributing to the upkeep of accurate records, preparing documentation, and handling a variety of routine and project-based administrative tasks.
While prior experience is valuable, the organisation is equally focused on hiring someone with the right mindset: organised, detail-oriented, proactive, and reliable. Full training will be provided across internal systems and workflow processes. There is genuine long-term potential for the right person to grow into a more senior administrative, operational, or coordination-focused role.
