Marketing and Admin Assistant

This varied role will require the successful candidate to support the Practice Manager in managing the office & delivering marketing activities. This includes basic day-to-day requirements around facilitating the smooth running of a busy office, including managing incoming calls, managing supplies, organising diaries, and managing IT needs/problems. It will also include assisting our Project Surveyors with admin related tasks such as minute taking/writing and updating of drawing registers. The other part of this role will see the successful candidate actively aiding in the rollout of the marketing strategy for the business.
