Personal Administrator

Department: Operations Location: Worthing

Description

At Carpenter Box, we're proud of the relationships we build – with our clients, our communities and each other. As part of the Sumer Group, we combine the strength and opportunities of a growing national business with the friendly, supportive culture of a local firm.

We're looking for a Personal Administrator to join our team and become one of the people who helps everything run smoothly behind the scenes. This is a role for someone who enjoys working with people, thrives on variety and takes pride in being the person others can rely on.

Key Responsibilities

Working closely with our Partners and wider team, you'll play a key role in supporting our clients and keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly. You'll be involved in a wide variety of tasks, including:

  • Being a key point of contact for clients, prospective clients and professional contacts.
  • Supporting Partners with the management of busy client portfolios and helping to coordinate priorities.
  • Managing diaries, arranging meetings and providing general administrative support.
  • Assisting with new client onboarding, including anti-money laundering processes and engagement documentation.
  • Preparing fee notes and supporting client billing processes.
  • Liaising with Companies House and HMRC on behalf of clients.
  • Preparing and filing confirmation statements and maintaining statutory records.
  • Assisting with company secretarial work, including dividend documentation, share transfers and related filings.
  • Completing client forms, tender documents and maintaining information on client portals.
  • Supporting colleagues across the wider administration team and contributing to a collaborative working environment.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
