Your new company
A fantastic charity in the Skelmersdale area that provides vital services to the community groups it serves is looking for an all-round administrator to join their operation for 3 months!
Your new role
Working with a small and efficient team that services different areas of the charity, you will be providing critical administrative support functions! This varied role spans across operations and finance, and therefore your duties will reflect this. You will be responsible for a range of admin duties such as arranging appointments for service users, processing service charges, uploading invoices to Xero and answering incoming calls to direct to the relevant departments. You will be based in the office for this post, however full or part time hours will be considered!
What you'll need to succeed

Prior experience processing invoices on Xero is a huge advantage for this post! You will be immediately available.

Working with a wonderful charity that gives outstanding services, you will be able to take pride in your contributions. You will have full or part time hours (both considered), and have an hourly rate of £11.54 - £12.05ph. Free on-site parking is available. Permanent prospects available for the right candidate.
