The Opportunity
We're hiring an Office Manager to lead the day-to-day running of the office based at our pharmacy location in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. You'll be responsible for the people planning behind it, the supplies and equipment that keep everyone working, the suppliers and contractors who service the space, and the standards it's held to.
This is a hands-on ownership role, not an admin seat. You'll be the person who knows who's scheduled tomorrow, whether that overtime was authorised, when the coffee is about to run out, and which contractor still hasn't been back. You'll report to the Operations Manager.
If you want a fast-paced, growing office you can genuinely bring structure to — and the autonomy to do it — read on.
Please note, this is a 9-month fixed term contract (maternity cover).
What you’ll own
Labour and scheduling
- Labour planning for the office and support team, making sure the right people are scheduled at the right times.
- Overtime planning end to end: tracking hours, and ensuring overtime is authorised, accurate and cost-effective.
- Agency labour — liaising with suppliers, managing hour recording, and keeping the numbers straight.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
