A rapidly growing Building Consultancy in Birmingham is on the lookout for a dynamic Secretary to join their team. This is more than just a job; it's a chance to be part of a company that truly values its employees and fosters a supportive, family-like environment.
Why This Role Stands Out:
This consultancy offers a unique blend of professional growth and personal care. Employees enjoy a high level of support and understanding, ensuring that individual needs and situations are met with empathy. The company's transparent, secure, and fair work environment contributes to long employee tenures, with many team members staying for years.
In addition to a supportive atmosphere, the company is committed to giving back, donating 5% of profits to charities. The office is surrounded by beautiful nature, providing a serene space for lunch breaks and a refreshing work environment. With a remarkable 65% staff growth in the last two years, this is a place where careers flourish.

- Providing accurate secretarial support, including audio and copy typing, and re-formatting documents as required

- Ordering office supplies, stationery, coffee, milk, fruit, and refreshments for meetings

- Supporting the office and team with any other reasonable tasks, including arranging staff events
