The Role

Office Manager – Peterborough – Office Based - Monday to Friday – up to 35 hours a week - £28000

We’re on the lookout for someone who thrives on order, keeps things running behind the scenes, and genuinely cares about getting things right.

This role is for the kind of person who preps the boardroom with water, notepads, and pens—because they know it makes a difference.

Someone who notices when the printer’s out of paper before it runs out—and just sorts it.

The kind of person who keeps the office running smoothly—not because it’s their job, but because they care.

You’ll be the glue that holds the day-to-day together. The calm, steady presence who makes sure things are filed, invoices are sent, supplies are stocked, and people are supported. The job is varied steady but never dull.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing administrative tasks like data entry, filing, and keeping our documents organised and accessible
• Diary Management, arranging meetings, travel etc
• Taking care of financial administration, including invoices and basic record-keeping, processing expenses
• Answering calls and emails with warmth and professionalism (even on a Monday morning)
• Keeping on top of HR administration like onboarding, training records, and recruitment support
• Liaising with suppliers and making sure they’re up to date and compliant
• Ensuring the office is stocked, tidy, and ready to go (and knowing where everything lives)
• Helping prepare reports and presentations for the team when needed
• Keeping internal systems up to date and ticking over nicely
  

What You’ll Need

• Solid experience in a similar admin or office management role
• A natural ability to organise—if you’re someone who sorts things “just because,” you’ll feel right at home
• Confidence with day-to-day financial admin and ideally some familiarity with accounting software
• Comfortable communicating with people at all levels, in writing and on the phone
• A friendly, unflappable manner—especially when juggling a few moving parts
• Some HR knowledge would be great, or a willingness to get stuck in and learn
• The ability to work independently, but always thinking about the team as a whole

What You Might Not Like

This role is busy and there’s always something happening, and you’ll often be the one making sure it all flows smoothly. You’ll need to stay on top of the details, respond quickly when things shift, and keep multiple plates spinning without dropping any.

If you’re someone who prefers a predictable, slow-moving environment or gets overwhelmed when too much is going on at once, this may not be the best match. But if being the steady cog that keeps all the wheels turning sounds like your kind of challenge—you’ll be right at home here.
