Summary

We've got an exciting opportunity for you to join our team as an Assistant Business Services Co-ordinator. 

As an Assistant Business Services Co-ordinator, you'll be involved in lots of different tasks as you support the day-to-day running of the office. This is a busy and varied job – no two days will be the same. You’ll have an important part to play in your team meeting its goals, so you’ll always be looking at how you can offer help where needed. 

Interviews will be held on the 14th and 17th May.

The Business Services team is a small, friendly, and outgoing team who are often the first point of contact for visitors to Standen, as well as liaising with contractors, suppliers and anyone else who gets in touch, so good Customer Service is vital.

This is generally a fairly fast-paced work environment – there are a mix of planned, routine and regular tasks but also a need to react to whatever situation might arise. Working together and communicating effectively is therefore essential.  It makes the role very interesting and ideal for someone who likes variety and a challenge.

This is not a hybrid role.  Reporting to the Business Services Lead, you'd be expected to be onsite when working.  The role also includes working approx. one weekend in four and some bank holidays.

Standen welcomed approx. 137000 visitors last year, and the business services role underpins that in many crucial ways, from ordering toilet rolls to making sure there is enough tea, coffee and milk for the volunteers to supporting the IT systems on the property.   

You’ll be helping to run a business service for the wider team that is efficient, proactive and flexible. Your responsibilities may include managing people’s diaries and records, helping with system and financial management, creating reports and other general administrative tasks.
