What does the team do?
Our Facilities Services team are one of the many teams that keep our business running smoothly. A key cog to the Southampton office, the team ensures we have a great office environment to work in and all the facilities we need to be successful. You'll work closely with our Facilities Co-ordinator and our Assistant Facilities Manager to provide crucial support to the whole office.
Although this is a full time, permanent position, we're also open to considering an apprentice for this role. So if you're eager to learn and grow in this field, don't hesitate to apply. You'll work closely with the Facilities management team to provide crucial support to the Firm whilst receiving paid on-the-job training and a formal qualification in Facilities Services (Level 2.) An apprentice role offers a fantastic opportunity for training, and learning and development within a skilled and experienced team.
What will you be doing?
The Facilities Assistant role requires someone who is resourceful and organised. Being a law firm we generate a lot of documents so you'll be required to deal with post room requests from our Lawyers and Support staff as well as external providers of postal and logistics services. You'll need to be able to work to deadlines and enjoy interacting with lots of different people.
Essentially the role will involve processing all mail (incoming and outgoing), photocopying and scanning, as well as printing emails and other large documents. There is some complex equipment – but don't worry we'll give you all the training you need.
You'll also assist the team with general duties involving the day-to-day running of the office from stationery orders and maintenance requests through to running errands and health and safety issues.
So, what are we looking for?
The role requires someone with previous office-based experience and knowledge of IT packages including Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. You'll need to be able to multi-task but still maintain attention to detail. You'll be a motivated pro-active team player with excellent communication skills. You'll have a flexible approach and be consistently helpful.
You must also be able to work on your own initiative and have the ability to work to deadlines. We're looking for enthusiastic individuals who love working as part of a team; this is a really social role interacting with lots of different people – this is where your great customer service skills come in.
To be successful in this role, you'll have as a minimum:
* Experience managing multiple workloads simultaneously
* Excellent IT skills with experience of Microsoft packages
