Wednesbury
£28,000 per annum
Monday to Friday, 9.00am – 5.00pm
37 hours per week | Permanent | Office Based

We are recruiting for an experienced and confident Receptionist / Personal Assistant to join an established business based in Wednesbury.

This is a varied position combining responsibility for the day-to-day running of a professional reception area with PA and administrative support to senior management.

We are therefore looking for someone who is equally comfortable welcoming visitors and managing incoming calls as they are organising diaries, coordinating meetings, preparing documentation and providing proactive support to senior colleagues.

This would suit an experienced Receptionist, PA, Senior Administrator or Office Coordinator who enjoys being at the heart of a busy office and is confident using their initiative.

You will be responsible for:

• Acting as the first point of contact for visitors and providing a professional and welcoming reception experience

• Managing incoming telephone calls and enquiries

• Providing PA and administrative support to senior management

• Managing diaries, meetings and appointments

• Coordinating meeting rooms and visitor arrangements

• Preparing correspondence, documents and other business information

• Handling confidential and sensitive information appropriately

• Supporting senior colleagues with ad-hoc requests and administrative tasks

• Maintaining organised electronic and physical filing systems

• Providing general administrative support across the business

• Assisting with document preparation, scanning, filing and record maintenance

• Providing administrative cover within the Commercial team during holidays, sickness and busy periods

• Supporting with basic order processing, documentation and invoice issuing when required

• Liaising with customers, suppliers and colleagues across the business

• Ensuring reception and shared office areas are maintained to a professional standard

We're particularly interested in candidates who have previously provided PA, executive or senior administrative support, rather than solely reception experience.

You should be:

• Confident supporting senior managers and comfortable working with minimal supervision

• Experienced in diary management, meeting coordination and general PA duties

• Professional and articulate with a confident telephone manner

• Highly organised with the ability to manage changing priorities

• Proactive and comfortable using your own initiative

• Discreet when handling confidential information

• Competent using Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook

• Comfortable combining front-of-house responsibilities with broader PA and administrative duties

Experience within a manufacturing, engineering or similar commercial environment would be advantageous but isn't essential.

• Monday to Friday, 9.00am – 5.00pm

• 37-hour working week

• Permanent position

• Free on-site parking

• On-site canteen serving hot and cold meals and drinks

• Christmas and New Year shutdown

• Bank holidays off

• Company pension scheme

• Medicash health plan

• Life insurance (2 x salary)

If you're an experienced Receptionist, PA or Senior Administrator who enjoys a varied role and is confident supporting senior management while also taking ownership of a professional front-of-house function, we'd love to hear from you.
