We have an exciting opportunity to join the central team here at Astrea to join our Multi Academy Trust.
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Administration Assistant to join our evolving procurement team. This is an ideal position for someone who is a team player, has a positive attitude and understands the importance of providing effective administration support in a fast paced environment.
Procurement administration support plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of an organisation’s purchasing activities. This support involves handling administrative tasks such as processing purchase orders, maintaining accurate records of transactions, coordinating with suppliers and schools to ensure compliance with procurement policies. The chosen candidate will also assist in the preparation of tender documentation, award notices, contract management and resolve any discrepancies in invoices or deliveries.
A confident manner, a cheerful outlook and a sound work ethic are essential; an interest in purchasing would be desirable but not strictly necessary.
What we offer
- Flexible Working hours.
- Excellent support in which to carry out the role effectively.
- Hybrid working
- Free on-site parking
What we are looking for
- Hard working individual preferably with an administrative background.
- Strong organisational skills, the ability to multi task, maintain accurate records.
- High level of attention to detail.
- Good communication skills, strong verbal and written communication is essential.
- Effective time management, prioritising tasks and managing deadlines.
- Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
Here at Astrea Academy Trust we know that diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to developing and retaining a workforce that is representative of the diverse communities that we serve. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive and building our culture of belonging. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in Astrea’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQI+ people, and men.
Astrea Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Posts are subject to enhanced DBS checks.
