We are a small firm run by architects offering a property marketing service producing specialist CGI and animated images for a range of clients in the property and construction industry. We are based in a spacious office on the high street just opposite Highams Park station, with parking available. We currently have a number of outstanding tasks that would benefit from the attention of a computer literate, self starter.

Ideally we are looking for someone who can come into our office for around a day each week and undertake a range of admin support tasks. You will need to get on top of general filing and implement some improved systems and processes. There will be other admin tasks around the smooth running of the office such as updating office contracts, ordering supplies and creating a simple database. You will also undertake basic invoicing and bookkeeping. There is a bit of a back log but the volume of work isn’t huge – we might typically raise ten or so invoices a month. What we do need is someone who can also chase outstanding fees as, with any small business, this can have a real impact on our cash flow. Another priority is to take the lead on the development of our website. This will involve liaising with our director to understand the brief and then working with the web designer to make sure that the necessary changes are implemented. In time you will also support our clients by responding to enquiries, putting together and sending out email updates and basic marketing. You will need to be computer literate, including Excel and have good written and verbal communication skills. The right candidate will have a pro active approach and enjoy taking responsibility.

If you would like a job with lots of scope to get involved in all aspects of running and supporting a small business then this could be ideal for you.

We are a team of Project Managers based in London who specialise in home refurbishment. Our projects can range from redecorations to complete renovations, and we are a small, friendly and motivated team. We are looking for a dynamic and autonomous PA to support our Director.

You will take the lead on all administrative tasks related to the Director’s day-to-day workload, as well as ensuring the office runs smoothly and efficiently. We have a small team with a flat structure, and so you need to be comfortable working on a range of ad-hoc tasks which may include visits to construction sites, personal arrangements for the Director and developing client relationships. We are looking for someone who enjoys taking the initiative and working in a fast paced environment. You will need to be comfortable working with Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator would also be helpful as we use these in our design work. We work on Macs so knowledge of these would again be useful; however we are strongly committed to staff development and could train you on non-essential computer packages and systems if needed. We are open to applications either from experienced Personal Assistants or people who are hoping to grow into this type of role, and the salary range reflects this. Most important is experience of or interest in working in property, and a desire to help our business develop.

If you are looking for an interesting and varied Personal Assistant role in a growing company, we’d love to hear from you.

We are a unique cancer charity, providing free specialist counselling to anyone in the UK who has cancer or who has been affected by the disease. We offer face to face counselling in London and telephone counselling across the UK. Our primary objective is to provide emotional support to cancer patients, their families, their friends and care givers. Until now, our bookkeeper has worked on a volunteer basis but we have decided to employ a freelance bookkeeper with effect from January to help us out for a couple of days each month.

You will have the opportunity to work in our new premises close to Angel, where we have a team of 25 staff, including counsellors and 6 admin staff. The nature of the work is not demanding – you will be doing the books for our income and expenditure, management reports, a quarterly report looking at how much we have spent and received and you will reconcile this with our accounts. You do need to have good and accurate bookkeeping skills and preferably some solid experience in this area as well as a good working knowledge of Excel. You will also need to be aware of the often distressed state of many of our clients and feel comfortable in what can be a highly charged emotional environment. We would ask all prospective candidates to consider their own feelings and issues around cancer before applying for this role.

If you can spare a couple of days each month for this bookkeeping role and would like to be involved in our very worthwhile charity, we would love to hear from you.

Established in 1996, our architects practice specialises in the education, community and social housing sectors. Our expanding portfolio consists of building for nurseries, primary and secondary schools, as well as community centres, libraries, youth clubs and housing association projects. Our cohesive team are all passionate about design and the building process and we take the concept of sustainability very seriously. We have successfully recruited twice through Women Like Us and are now looking for a full-time Office Manager to join us in early January to ensure the smooth running of our business.

The role of Office Manager comprises two distinct responsibilities: office admin/procedures and finance. On a day to day basis therefore, your key role will encompass many different duties from maintaining admin systems to looking after staff holiday records and expenses; from reviewing RIBA matters and staff subs to ensuring we meet our compliance requirements; from helping with project applications to working with our partners on marketing and advertising. With regards to the finance aspect of the role, you will have budgeting and cash flow responsibilities, use Quickbooks to maintain our office accounts, prepare invoices and the salaries and PAYE. In this busy role, you will have an assistant who you will also manage. We are therefore looking for a highly experienced Office Manager; someone who can work confidently and independently and can demonstrate first class interpersonal and multi-tasking skills. Ideally, you will have some experience of managing and developing staff. You should be totally comfortable with the Microsoft suite and a good working knowledge of Quickbooks would be helpful. We are happy to support and train you in areas such as IT management and employment law. It is also important to us that you can handle sensitive material with discretion and you can bring to this role a versatile approach.

If you are now looking for a full-time Office Management role in a busy and creative environment, this could be ideal for you.

Note from Women Like Us: whilst we generally specialise in part -time and flexible roles, we will sometimes advertise full-time roles, particularly with an employer for whom we have successfully recruited in the past and in the knowledge that we do have women registered who are looking for full-time hours.

We are a niche systems integrator, specialising in building web sites, intranets and document management systems. Our client list includes a number of large “blue chip” companies and governmental organisations. We are now looking to recruit a part-time experienced bookkeeper to take on the day-to-day financial aspects of our work and to provide some general admin support to the all-male team.

Your should be proficient in all aspects of bookkeeping work – paying and chasing sales and purchase invoices, logging and tracking payments, bank reconciliation and preparing month-end accounts and payroll information for our out-sourced accountants. We currently use Excel for all our financial records but as the business grows, we will look to you to help us ensure we have efficient and robust financial and management systems. You should be meticulous, organised and practical in approach and be willing to support the office with some general administrative tasks when necessary. You will need to be very proficient with Excel but experience of other accounting packages such as SAGE will be very advantageous. Initial training and support will be provided but what is important for us is that you have the ability to get on with the job in a largely unsupervised role. You may be fully or part qualified with a high level of numeracy, accuracy and solid PC skills.

If you have solid bookkeeping experience and would like to make a valuable contribution to our growing company then we’d like to hear from you.

We are a well established, registered charity and social enterprise working with disaffected youth, creating and managing services for them. Our current focus is on motor projects – cars, go-karts and motor bikes. Our aim is to interest young people in training and education from a practical perspective and in so doing, we are improving community safety by helping to prevent and reduce crime. Our objectives for 2009 have highlighted the need for a Business Development Officer to work on some key priorities for us.

Working directly with our CEO and project co-ordinators, your remit will encompass four principle areas. The first will be income generation where we are looking for you to identify and develop new partnerships. The second task will be to develop our marketing strategy, paying special attention to our website. The third will be to help us to establish our governance systems and finally, we need to set up a system of evaluation. This will allow our stakeholders to provide some input on how we run our organization. To accomplish these tasks, we need someone who has not only project based experience in our sector, but also can demonstrate a successful track record in operational management and the timely delivery of projects and research. You will need to have first class IT skills and familiarity with financial office systems will also be useful. In terms of soft skills, you should be able to communicate effectively at all levels, work well within a team and on your own initiative and have a positive attitude to youth development. We are happy to consider this role being done on a job share basis between two equally experienced individuals.

If you have experience of working with disadvantaged youth or in a community environment and possess sound project and business skills, we would love to hear from you.

Established in 1984, our charity aims to reduce the incidence and costs of alcohol related harm and to increase the range and quality of services available to people with alcohol related problems. We act as the national umbrella for 800 local agencies and we are the principal source of information on alcohol to the public, media, government and professionals. In its bid to create a national alcohol strategy, the Department of Health will be funding a new 2 year project to establish and develop self help groups for problem drinkers, based on the SMART Recovery Model which is well known in the USA. This represents the first alternative to the AA system and is based on cognitive behavioural principles. We now have an urgent requirement for an experienced Project Coordinator who will lead the development of this project.

Our three major objectives are to establish 6 pilot areas where self help can flourish and become self-sustaining; to develop training, manuals and resources to support locally elected champions to develop and promote new groups; and to facilitate a national roll-out of SMART self help groups throughout England, after the project has ended. Your specific duties will be wide-ranging, from developing project plans to researching and appointing services for the pilot sites; from producing policy briefings to managing budgets and reporting on expenditure. We are looking for someone with a strong background in small-scale project management and an ability to work to deadlines. First class interpersonal skills are important to us and you should be comfortable with presenting information and liaising at all levels. A good knowledge of Microsoft Office is essential and, as the pilot sites will be based outside of London, you should be willing to make occasional overnight stays where appropriate. An empathic approach and experience in this field would also be useful to us.

If you are looking to use your project management skills in a rewarding and challenging part-time role, we would love to hear from you.

Established in 2001, we specialise in designing and delivering training, training consultancy and one-to-one coaching to a range of organisations in both the private and public sectors. We tailor programmes to meet the requirements of our clients and have built up a solid, professional reputation in helping them often to change their culture and support their staff in reaching their potential. Our team of 7 is led by our charismatic Director who is now looking for an equally dynamic ‘right-hand’ person to help her grow the business.

For the first 4-6 months, you will shadow our Director, learning about the organisation and how we run on a day to day basis and getting to know the other members of the Team. You will also work closely with our Business Assistant who will eventually report to you. We are looking to you to provide not only operational support but also strategic input. You will therefore need to grasp the concept of what we do, identify growth opportunities, examine our potential and communicate this effectively to our Director. It is absolutely essential that you have a background in L & D and a thorough understanding of the learning cycle, as well as experience of designing and delivering training. This will be useful in your Operations role and will also come in handy if you are required to provide cover occasionally for one of our consultants. Our policy is to always put our clients first and rarely do we say ‘no’; we would expect you to share this level of service as well as be able to demonstrate a versatile and resilient approach. First class interpersonal skills are a key attribute in this role, and some holistic experience will also be helpful in being able to look across the entire organisation and providing input accordingly. All our team are parents themselves and we are therefore happy to consider a flexible working pattern both during term time and in the school holidays. In return, we expect a high level of both commitment and enthusiasm.

This is a fabulous opportunity for someone with L&D experience to work with us in the continued growth of our business and to make a direct contribution to its success.

With some assistance from the East of England Development Agency, we set up our business a couple of years ago to help people to use energy more efficiently in their homes and businesses and in schools. Our objective is to reduce carbon emissions and to help people to convert to renewable energy sources. We have a range of products available which, in the main, make energy usage visible, accessible and easy to understand. As our business gathers momentum, we are looking to recruit friendly individuals to install our energy monitoring systems initially in the East Anglia region.

Your role will revolve around appointments in people’s homes and schools, installing our product range and showing the consumer how to operate the item and benefit from the information it provides. It operates in a similar way to a wireless network and you will need experience of installing or working with IT networks and systems. Ideally, you will be able to demonstrate a high level of electrical know-how although you need not be ’Part P’ qualified. We will however train you on our products and how to install them. We are also looking for people with good interpersonal skills and who are confident at demonstrating features and benefits of a given product. A background perhaps in teaching or training, in disseminating information effectively would be highly advantageous. Customer service is key as we are a new business and building a good reputation is therefore very important to us. We are growing rapidly and have a number of plans in development so this is an ideal time to join us. You will need to be available one day each week to work in our Cambridge office and will require a car as you will be travelling around the region.

If you are ‘technically minded’ and are looking for a flexible role in an exciting organisation, this could be ideal for you.

We are the leading organisation in Israel working in the field of promoting coexistence, equality and a shared vision between Israel’s Arab and Jewish citizens. We were established 25 years ago in New York, where we still have an office, and are now based in Jerusalem. A UK charity has recently been set up to support our work in Israel. We are looking for an administration manager to make sure that our London operations run smoothly.

As the only member of staff on the payroll, you will be responsible for co-ordinating the activities of our London office and establishing the necessary systems and processes to ensure everything operates professionally. Tasks will include: providing administrative support to the Board of Trustees, Chairperson and various subcommittees, putting in place and updating an appropriate marketing database, maintaining our website and contributing to our blog, developing and maintaining a web-based directory of our members, helping to arrange events, co-ordinating and recruiting volunteers and contributing to our PR programme in conjunction with our PR committee. If you have the relevant skills or aptitude there is also the potential to become involved in our fundraising activities and/or writing bid or tender documents.

We are currently in the process of finding our new London office (which will probably be in Central or Northwest London) , so initially the role may be home-based. The role could be done on a flexible basis – for example, 9-4 each day or for 4 and a half days a week but we are also happy for someone to work on a full-time basis. It is essential you are proficient in Word, Excel and Outlook and are sufficiently computer literate to pick up new databases, if necessary. You must have excellent communications skills, be able to work well alone or as part of a team, have keen attention to detail and be flexible enough to handle whatever comes up. Ideally, you will be educated to degree level and previous experience of working for a charity would be extremely useful.

If you are proactive and looking for an integral role in a really groundbreaking charity this could be perfect for you.

We are an award winning experiential marketing agency with a diverse range of clients including confectioners Haribo, the Central Office of Information and baby care expert, Pampers. We work with our clients to deliver ‘campaigns’ that give members of the public an opportunity to experience their products whether in store, out and about in a town centre, or, wherever we will capture the right audience. We are running a recruitment event later this month and are hoping to meet some vivacious and confident individuals who would like to work as our brand advocates.

When we take on a new campaign we are careful to select brand advocates who can engage with the products or issue and communicate the campaign message in a clear and intelligent manner. Once you have passed our recruitment process you will be contacted when a relevant campaign is about to launch, we are normally able to give about a months notice. You will start each new campaign with a full two days training and induction: your weekly schedule will confirm the timings and locations of each working day. Although campaigns tend to work over full time hours the role offers masses of flexibility as you are able to pick and choose when you are available to work. This means that we are happy for you to work term time only, or for whatever proportion of the year suits you, as we will always have new campaigns for good advocates to work on. The key attributes of a great brand advocate are the ability to engage naturally with members of the public, to ensure that campaign messages are understood and delivered effectively, to be reliable once you have committed to a piece of work and finally to enjoy being out and about pro-actively approaching members of the public. There are also opportunities for individuals to progress to event managers and team leader roles that offer the same flexibility.

If you think that you fit the bill and would enjoy the flexibility of well paid campaign work then we would love to hear from you. Click through to the ‘apply online’ section to find out how to book your place on our January recruitment event.

Established in 1992, we are one of the leading independent estate agents in Queens Park. We work in sales, lettings and management of residential houses and flats covering the immediate Queens Park area and extending to West Hampstead, Kensal Green, Neasden and the Wembley and Kenton areas. We are a small team of two Negotiators and have a current vacancy for a part-time office administrator.

We are often out showing properties so your key role will be to meet and greet visitors to the office, answer the telephone, respond to emails, handle all of our admin from paying invoices to ensuring we have enough stationery. You will also be responsible for uploading newly instructed properties to the web portals on which we advertise and you will type up all of our lettings agreements. On occasion, you may be expected to show properties if we are out with other clients. What we really need therefore is someone who can multi task effectively and work on their initiative and feel entirely confident in running our small office independently. You should possess first class customer facing skills and a good command of English. A good working knowledge of IT (Word, Excel, Explorer, Outlook) is important to us, together with bags of initiative. You must be able to demonstrate previous office experience, preferably as a self starter.

If you are looking for a busy part-time role and would enjoy the responsibility of running our office, we would love to hear from you.
