Salary: £28,000 per annum
Davison Highley, a renowned designer and maker of bespoke furniture for prestigious clients such as Deloitte, KPMG, ITV, The British Museum, and Google, is seeking an organised, detail orientated and dedicated Office Administrator to join our friendly and supportive team.
Based in Piddington, a picturesque village just outside High Wycombe, we pride ourselves on crafting furniture by hand, not machine.
About The Role
You will play a crucial part in supporting our team to ensure our clients receive exceptional service from quote to delivery; liaising with people from all areas within the business.
This Role Involves
1. Responsibility for the smooth running of the administrative side of the business; acting as the first point of contact for inbound queries, dealing with suppliers and keeping compliance documentation up to date.
2. Liaising directly with the sales teams, providing support in producing accurate client quotations in a timely manner.
3. Communicating effectively across all departments.
4. Coordinating multiple processes.
5. Managing deadlines while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
6. Occasionally attending events at our Clerkenwell Showroom (12 times per year).
You will report to the Office Manager and will be asked to provide cover for them during any holiday or other absences.
What We're Looking For
1. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
2. Strong numerical literacy.
3. A high proficiency in Microsoft 365 and confidence in managing administrative tasks.
4. A motivated, reliable self-starter with a passion for accuracy and organisation.
5. Someone with a strong work ethic and high professional standards.
6. Someone who loves to transform chaos into order (and orders!) and enjoys a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
We are very proud of our dedicated staff and many of our employees stay with the company for more than a decade. Therefore, our ideal candidate would be someone who is looking for long term, consistent and reliable employment. The role could suit a returner to the workplace, an early retiree, or anyone passionate about product design who values stability, professionalism, enthusiasm, reliability and accountability.
Working Hours
1. Monday-Thursday: 09:00 - 17:30
2. Friday: 09:00 - 16:00
3. No weekend work or hybrid arrangements.
Our office hours are 08:30 - 17:30, and we may be able to adjust working hours slightly within this timeframe to accommodate the right candidate. Please indicate on your application if this would be a requirement for you.
Why Join Us?
Davison Highley is a 3rd generation family business with long-standing relationships with our team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking to make a home within a respected company that values creativity and craftsmanship.
