Business Manager, Therapy Practice,
Monument
20 - 25 hrs/wk - Preferably over 5 days
£28,000 - £30,000 pro rata - Depending on experience, plus bonus structure to be agreed

We are a team of accredited therapists, specialising in the area of cognitive behaviour (CBT) which helps people to cope with stress and emotional problems by connecting the way in which they think, feel and behave. We also offer training to therapists on university placement who are available to offer their services at a reduced fee. Our City practice, a stone’s throw from the Monument, urgently requires an experienced professional to help manage the daily business and develop it in the longer term.
On a day to day basis, you will be responsible for running our office, dealing with suppliers, paying invoices, looking after our books, answering the telephone, taking on all the admin related tasks and managing the time of our two partners. We have a patient coordinator who works ‘remotely’ to handle the appointments and you may also be required to cover this position when he’s away, and this will simply involve diary management. What is really important to us in this role however, is the skills you will have to develop our business further. This may mean improving our current patient database, creating new business opportunities with mailshots and targeted marketing, or perhaps streamlining our office procedures. We will be looking to you to manage and drive this initiative. Whilst admin experience and proficiency with IT is therefore important in this role, you should also be able to demonstrate an assertive, hands-on approach. You will need a friendly and confident manner and also be able to understand and be empathetic to the needs of our patients.
If you are a dynamic and self motivated individual, with a sound commercial business background and keen to make an impact on the future of our business, we would love to hear from you.

Office Manager / PA, Solicitor,
Clerkenwell
16 hrs/wk - 9.30 - 5.30 Thursday & Friday to Xmas 08
£25,000 - £29,000 pro rata - Depending on experience

Based in London’s trendy Clerkenwell area, we are a small firm of solicitors specialising in employment discrimination law. Our 2 partners have both been Employment Tribunal Judges for a number of years and have also written books and papers on discrimination in employment and maternity rights, and related issues. Our current Office Manager works from Monday to Wednesday and we urgently require an equally competent individual to take on this role on Thursdays and Fridays. We need cover immediately, until Christmas ’08 and due to a possible office relocation, will review the longevity of this role in the New Year.
You will play an integral role in our team of five, running the office on a daily basis: answering the telephone, dealing with all incoming and outgoing correspondence both in terms of emails and doing some audio typing, managing some bills and invoices, meeting and greeting our clients and looking after our office IT, plus additional ad hoc tasks. This is an interesting and busy role and the ideal person would not necessarily have any legal experience, but should have an office background and be highly adept at multitasking and prioritising. We would expect you to be familiar with Word and also have some audio typing experience; we will train you on our Alpha Law software which you will use to record our billable time. A self starter, you will be comfortable working in a small team and be able to demonstrate a motivated and can-do attitude.
If you have good commercial experience and would like to work for a couple of days each week in a completely family friendly environment at least until Christmas, this could be ideal for you.

Located in the heart of Soho, we supply, install and procure everything you would expect to see in an office. Established just over four years ago, we work with clients all over the UK, assisting them in re-fitting and often relocating their offices. We have built up an enviable reputation in this niche area, providing a high quality service from initial concept, through to finished product. We are now looking for someone to join our small team and help our business to grow.
Your remit will be to provide a pipeline of potential clients for our Directors. Working from a live database, you will thoroughly research companies who may be relocating or up/downsizing and will therefore require our services. You will need to identify the decision maker within the company and ensure that we have all the details required to contact them to arrange an appointment. Those details will then need to be recorded on a database. An ability to build and manage relationships on the telephone is essential in this role, as is a friendly, professional and articulate phone manner. It would be helpful if you have previously worked in a sales or project manager role and we would ideally like you to have some working knowledge of commercial design and build, as well as a familiarity with the language we use. A fast learner, you should also be tenacious and committed and demonstrate an innovative approach. This is a key role for us and we will incentivise you accordingly with a bonus structure.
If you have industry knowledge and are looking for a part time role where you can influence your earnings, whilst also contributing to our continued growth, this could be ideal for you.

Bookkeeper, Charity,
Home based and preferably with easy access to Muswell Hill

£25 per hour

We set up our small charity a couple of years ago in order to recognise the work of staff in mental health trusts and the positive impact of their roles on the daily experiences of inpatients throughout the UK. Of the 550 NHS psychiatric wards, 430 have joined our project to inspire excellence in care. We provide a range of resources which enable staff to stimulate and structure therapeutic programmes for inpatients on elderly, rehab, learning disability and secure wards. We are currently looking for a bookkeeper for a couple of days a month to free up some of the work of our Treasurer.
Our founder spends much of her time travelling to speaking engagements and you will be responsible for keeping track of her invoices, expenses and purchase orders, as well as the sales invoices for our various publications. In addition and to assist the Treasurer, you will deal with our profit and loss account, cash projections and help to prepare the figures for our annual report. We are currently funded by 8 different charitable trusts and you will need to monitor our three year funding programme and ensure that interest is being earned accordingly. We have a couple of staff on the payroll for which you will do the cheque run. We all work from our homes around London but our banking is done in Muswell Hill, N10 close to the home of our founder and it’s therefore important to us that our bookkeeper lives within close proximity. Whilst you will be fully briefed by our Treasurer, we are looking for someone with good bookkeeping experience who is both numerate and accurate and with a keen eye for detail.
If you are looking for local work a couple of days each month and would like to be involved with an inspirational and worthwhile charity, this could be ideal for you.

We are London's only company dedicated exclusively to chocolate making and tasting workshops for corporate team away days, hen parties, kids and family events and other occasions. Based near Farringdon and Chancery Lane tube stations we run many of our workshops at the weekends and are now looking for a reliable and well presented individual to help co-ordinate these days.
Ideally you will have customer facing experience in the leisure / hospitality industry or if not then excellent face to face communication skills. The job will require meeting and greeting clients as they arrive, checking that the admin for each individual is correct and complete and then directing them to their workshop. Occasionally issues may arise and it is essential that you are confident and comfortable to deal with problems professionally and with integrity. Whilst the workshops are ongoing you will answer the phones, take bookings, raise simple invoices and generally keep on top of admin associated with the events. You will need a reasonable level of computer skills to do this work successfully. Although there will be clients and workshop facilitators around throughout the day it is worth mentioning that you will be working autonomously in the reception area for much of your day. You will have every fourth weekend off and we are also happy to give some other weekends off as long as due notice is given.
If you would like to be part of London’s fastest growing chocolate events company and are available to work over the weekends then please do get in touch.

Our organisation has led the field in ethical marketing since 1996. We pride ourselves on having a commitment to and understanding of how marketing and communications can be used for positive environmental and social change. We are an experienced part time employer and work from busy open plan offices near London Bridge station.

Ideally you will have experience working in a creative industry as the main task will be to assist us during this busy period of pitch writing and tender bidding. You will get involved with various things such as typing, filing and making arrangements. You will need good general office skills including accurate and fast typing and competence with the Microsoft office package and a keen eye for detail. A high standard of work is essential to us and we envisage the ideal candidate as someone who has solid experience either as a secretary, administrator or PA. A good team player, you will be adaptable, friendly, confident and able to offer your support to take some of the pressure off us during this crucial, busy time of year.

Situated on a quiet mews near Oxford Street, we run an office building that houses small firms and independent consultants working in property. We have architects and investment surveyors, and have managed the building for nearly 30 years. We are now looking for a receptionist to join our friendly team, and are open to a range of job sharing patterns to cover our core hours.
You will focus on ensuring our small building runs smoothly; answering the phones, opening and sometimes redirecting post, ordering office supplies and welcoming clients. Both our partners will need audio and copy typing done from time to time, and if you are an experienced typist we’re confident you will be able to work with audio equipment even if you haven’t done so already. The workload can vary from day to day; sometimes you will be extremely busy and on occasion you may find that the phones and reception are quiet. We are looking for someone with strong verbal communication skills and good attention to detail to ensure that messages are taken correctly and that we present a professional image to incoming callers and clients.
If you are looking for a Receptionist / Administrator role in a friendly and supportive environment, we would love to hear from you.

Founded in the mid 1960’s, our privately owned organisation is a leading international publisher of books, journals and electronic media. When we started out, we specialised in social sciences; today however, we publish and disseminate information across a variety of disciplines and professions. We have offices worldwide and currently employ around 265 staff across our Old Street base and our East London warehouse and are currently looking for a new Senior Production Controller to join us at the beginning of December.
Reporting to our Associate Director of Marketing, this is a key role in our Marketing services team. You will be responsible for coordinating and overseeing the production and manufacture of all our London office marketing materials, ensuring timely delivery and to budget and agreed quality. You will be the main point of contact with internal departments, existing printers and suppliers. You will need to manage our production schedule, issue purchase orders and sign off print invoices. You will have a budget to manage and you will be responsible for keeping costs down where possible. The ability to maintain excellent working relationships both internally and externally is key to the success of this role, together with a highly organised approach and being able to prioritise and multi-task effectively. You may have a marketing agency or publishing background and you should be fully conversant with print production and manufacturing processes, including digital and litho. We would expect you to be familiar with Excel, Word and ideally Access, Sage and the internet. A working knowledge of In Design would be advantageous. Although this is a standalone position, you will play an integral part of the Marketing team and we are therefore looking for someone who can demonstrate a positive, can-do approach.
If you have a thorough understanding of the print production process and first class negotiation skills, this could be ideal for you.

Our Accountancy firm specialises in helping and advising small owner-managed businesses. Since 1982 we have been offering clients a range of services which include management and annual statutory accounts, corporation and personal tax, bookkeeping, payroll and VAT. All of our close knit team have been with us for over 10 years ensuring that not only do we work hard, but we also have fun whilst doing it. We are now looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to work primarily with one of our larger clients.
You will work alongside one of the directors who will have final approval of transactions, but day to day you will be responsible for all aspects of our client's financial administration and ideally will be able to put together their financial accounts. We would still be interested if you have not worked at this level, but the salary offered will reflect this and you will still need to be comfortable with all aspects of double entry bookkeeping. As our client’s firm is in the construction industry, knowledge of the Construction Industry Scheme would be useful, although not essential. They use Quickbooks to manage their finances, and so you will need to be comfortable entering and manipulating data using this package, as well as using Excel to monitor and analyse data for their accounts. You may have gained your experience in house or working in an accountancy practice, but you must be numerate, competent and enjoy working in a lively and friendly environment.
If you are an experienced bookkeeper looking for a responsible and varied role, this could be a great opportunity.
