Administration - 2 month temporary contract in Poole, Dorset

Administrator

Poole | Temporary Contract | Immediate Start Available

Are you highly organised, detail-oriented, and enjoy working with records and data? We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established legal organisation in Ashley Cross for a team of Administrators to support an exciting project to modernise and digitise their filing systems.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive team and play a key role in creating a brand-new electronic database from thousands of physical files. If you enjoy methodical work, have strong Excel skills, and take pride in accuracy, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

Working as part of a team, you will be responsible for reviewing physical legal files, auditing their contents, and creating a comprehensive electronic record system from scratch. You'll spend much of your day working with filing cabinets, retrieving files, checking documents against file cover sheets, and accurately recording information into Excel.

As part of the project, the filing system is being transformed from an alphabetical structure to a numerical case reference system, making accuracy and attention to detail essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Reviewing and auditing physical legal files.
• Inputting file information accurately into Excel.
• Checking documents against file checklists and cover sheets.
• Identifying and recording missing documentation.
• Escalating discrepancies and file issues where required.
• Relabelling and reorganising files into a new numerical filing system.
• Supporting the creation of a searchable electronic database.
• Working collaboratively with the wider project team to ensure deadlines are met.

What We're Looking For

• Previous administration, data entry, filing, or document management experience.
• Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to work.
• Confident using Microsoft Excel.
• Strong organisational skills.
• Ability to manage large volumes of paperwork accurately.
• Reliable, professional, and able to work as part of a team.

Experience within a legal, compliance, or records management environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's On Offer?

• Immediate start available (ideally 16th October, potentially 19th October).
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
• Parking available.
• Potential overtime opportunities.
• Supportive team environment with ongoing guidance.
• Initial contract running until mid-December, with potential extension into 2027
