Office assistant and mailroom assistant — Aberdeen

This video marks three decades of Ledingham Chalmers and explores our heritage, culture and what happens next, including our ambitious growth plans.

Our core values are central to our approach. These guide how we work with each other, and our clients. And now we're looking for two colleagues in Aberdeen who'll champion those values and and support our teams as they deliver what we know is a valuable service to our clients.

Office assistant

Duties

The duties for this office-based role include —

• Preparing catering requirements for internal meetings

• Clearing rooms after meetings

• Re-stocking essential catering supplies eg, milk, tea and coffee

• Covering reception during lunch breaks, absences and holiday cover, including answering phones and forwarding calls

Mailroom assistant

Duties

• Uplifting document exchange (DX) mail each morning

• Opening, distributing and scanning all mail

• Preparing mail for collection and delivering documents, as required

• Picking up internal mail

• Preparing and dropping off DX mail

• Light maintenance duties including arranging vehicle servicing and MOTs and the restocking of stationery

• Banking, as required

• Supporting the residential property team with deliveries, as required, including those relating to settlements and closings

Skills

For both of these roles, our ideal candidates will have a full, UK driving licence and will be able to demonstrate good communication skills and attention detail as well as show they're confident using Microsoft Outlook.

They'll also both be organised, self-motivated, enthusiastic, and will work well in a team.

For the office assistant, food handling experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

Why Ledingham Chalmers?

In these roles you’ll work with friendly, collaborative colleagues across Scotland.

Plus, there are great opportunities at Ledingham Chalmers for personal development, training, and progression in a supportive environment.

A few months ago we announced our latest figures, showing increased profits for the 2020/2021 financial year. At the same time we revealed we'd be investing six-figures over the next 12 months as part of our growth strategy to double revenue to £25million by 2025.

Having the right team in place will, of course, be instrumental to reaching that goal.

Importantly too, these posts come with an attractive remuneration and holiday package as well as other bonuses, subject to qualifying conditions, and an additional day off on top of holiday entitlement for your birthday.
