Part Time Office Hero

We’re looking for someone with experience in some of the below (although training can be given) to work part time in our Bournemouth office.

The work will be varied and interesting and you will become an essential member of our team of (young-ish 🙂 creative types at one of Bournemouth’s most creative of creative agencies. The job will suit someone with a background in either marketing or e-commerce with perhaps some bookkeeping/accounting to boot; someone who is looking to get back to work, working hours that suit current lifestyle.

The ideal applicant will have a good understanding of office life, a sunny disposition, the old ‘can-do’ attitude and be looking to get their teeth into something rewarding and fun. Training can be given to the right applicant but experience in some of the below would be a massive advantage to you.

You will be required to carry out a number of office based tasks covering, but not limited to, the following:

Social Networking & Marketing

Managing a number of social channels for ourselves, an online store and some clients when needed; your day to day duties will include finding and posting relevant content, dealing with affiliates, managing ROI etc etc. (An ability to write would be massively useful here and help negate the need to be good at some of the other stuff 🙂 )

Online Shop Management

Managing an online hair and beauty shop, selling professional hair and beauty products online.

You will receive orders, pick the products and manage dispatch plus everything else required for the successful management of an online store. Stock management, customer coms., bookkeeping etc etc (Full training given)

Bookkeeping

Experience on Xero.com would be handy but failing that, an understanding of invoice management and general bookkeeping would be useful – all can be taught though. You will be required to input purchase invoices and generate sales invoices – plus keep an eye on reconciliation etc etc….

PA to MD & Office Management

Just odds and sods here really, carrying out appropriate tasks for the MD plus ensuring the smooth running of a busy office. Office supply management and the odd social/event organisation.

Additional Skills & Requirements

  • You will need to be proficient on an apple mac, comfortable in all the applications needed to carry out your job (mainly the Microsoft suite although additional software would be required here and there – training given) – also, computer literacy is essential as you will need to learn new applications)
  • An ability to work through problems and issues independently and resourcefully. (e.g. know how to use Google 🙂 )
  • A sensible approach to deadlines, timelines & schedules.
  • A consistent positive attitude ready to take on the challenges of the day.
  • A keen eye for detail
  • A good sense of humour

And in return, we will give you…

  • Working hours to suit you (20 hours per week – circa 4 hours a day – TBC)
  • A good position in an upwardly mobile & great smelling creative agency
  • The chance to develop your skills and learn on the job
  • The opportunity to develop this role
  • Free Professional Hair products
  • A fun creative environment
  • Good coffee
  • Salary DOE

Please note. If you are most of the above but not quite all, we would still be interested to hear from you as we can always adapt and steer the right person to become all the above!
