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.

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.

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.

Established for 6 years, we are a business incentive and performance company known for our unique online Universal Voucher System. Our clients range from international hotel groups to blue chip organisations in the UK and Europe and our vouchers are supplied by a plethora of well known branded companies. Based in open plan offices in Victoria, our busy team handle telephone calls and online requests.

Your role will be to provide the essential support functions for our clients and for our account team. You will be the first point of contact with our clients when they order their incentive vouchers. You will need to process the order on our in-house system, email confirmation and create an electronic file for the order information. You will also deal with any problems or complaints from our clients’ own customers who have received incentive vouchers. We will provide full training on our systems but you will need to be PC literate. Familiarity with databases such as Access or FileMaker is important; if you have a basic knowledge of how websites are put together it would be helpful, as we host information on our clients’ extranets. We do require exceptional standards in customer service and experience in a customer focused role is therefore advantageous. Most important however, is good, written English, a high degree of common sense, the ability to work on your own initiative and good attention to detail.
If you are a team player and wish to contribute to the continued success of our friendly organisation, we would love to hear from you.

Our registered charity and social enterprise works 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. In many cases, the youngsters require assistance in literacy and numeracy skills and we are looking for enthusiastic support workers to be based across our two centres in Lambeth and Lewisham.
You will form part of a project delivery team, working with our project coordinators on the pre-vocational training programmes. Once the individuals are referred, their paperwork has to be completed and you will interview them and organise their induction and ensure an action plan is put in place. At this stage, you will need to assess their literacy and numeracy skills and on an ongoing basis, provide assistance where required for the written work they have to complete, following a workshop. Once an assessment is made, your role will be to communicate the findings to the referring agency and/or the school they are at. In addition, you will be expected to devise and manage support programmes, prepare the learners for the workplace or to re-enter education and generally to contribute where necessary to the planning and evaluation of work carried out by the project team. We are looking for individuals with excellent interpersonal skills and experience of working with youths. It is important that you have a creative approach as much of what you will be helping with has a practical application. Your own standards of written English and numeracy must be first class. You should feel comfortable at engaging with our target groups and have endless amounts of both patience and tolerance.
If you have experience of working with disadvantaged young people and would like to get involved with our very worthwhile projects on a part-time basis, this could be ideal for you.

Located in the heart of London’s West End, we are a small team of headhunters working solely in the advertising industry. We were originally set up in the 1970’s and were the first advertising headhunter; in our current guise, we have been operating since the mid 1990’s and have built up a successful reputation in our niche industry, working with clients such as Saatchi, Ogilvy and TBWA. Our office manager joined us 18 months ago and having finished her studies, is now pursuing a career in the legal profession. We are therefore looking for an experienced and proactive individual to replace her and join us early in the New Year.
This role is absolutely essential to the smooth running of our business. On a day to day basis, you will be answering the telephone, meeting and greeting our candidates, managing our diaries, typing letters and reports, paying and chasing invoices, ordering stationery, dealing with office suppliers and reviewing them where necessary. In addition, we will be looking to you to provide key research on our client companies and regularly update our database. The advertising industry is quite specialised and we are therefore looking for someone with agency experience, who is familiar with our ‘language’ and the key players. Mac skills would be helpful but proficiency with the Office suite is what we require, as well as first class telephone and interpersonal skills. You should be an accomplished multi tasker, able to demonstrate both a can-do attitude and experience as a self-starter. Finally, please note that we are hoping to interview candidates before Christmas and are looking for someone with immediate availability.
If you have bags of initiative, a good track record in office management and are looking for a role you can truly own, we would love to hear from you.
