Our customer based near to Lichfield Trent Valley railway station is a successful independent business of 34 years who manufacture and distribute products from their self contained premises.
We are delighted to be recruiting on their behalf for a permanent member of staff to join their team on a full time basis. Hours of work can be a little flexible to suit applicants' circumstances (30-37 hours per week to suit). Generally the hours will be based around 0830-1700 with an early finish on Fridays.

This is not completely administration work as the successful applicant will be joining a small team, so helping on the shop floor may be required from time to time. The ideal candidate will have previous office experience but also come from a shop floor background in a small team.

The ideal applicant will have the following skills:

* answering the telephone, taking inbound queries from customers - excellent telephone manner is essential
* taking sales orders, therefore excellent numeracy is a must as you will be calculating customers' requirements
* comfortable working independently as well as assisting two directors and coordinating with shop floor staff
* a track record of building rapport with customers and suppliers
* possessing the desire to learn about new products and processes
* excellent IT literacy, covering all aspects of administration such as MS packages, spreadsheets, email etc

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well established team and genuinely make a difference to the business. We are not looking for somebody to fill a seat, but an individual to compliment the existing operation and grow with the company. It is a relaxed environment so casual office attire is appropriate.
The starting salary will be £22,500 p/a (pro rata if applicants wish to work less hours), with the potential to rise to £25,000 p/a after completing a satisfactory probation period.
There is an immediate start available, but the customer is prepared to wait for the right candidate if a notice period needs to be served. We are looking for a committed individual who ls looking for a long term position rather than a stop gap. Please consider this before applying.
