We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Site and Central Administration Support Lead to join our team.

Additionally, you will contribute to budget control by tracking site spend, identifying cost-saving opportunities, and supporting the development and implementation of financial documentation. Experience in financial budgeting and cost management is essential, as you will play a key role in ensuring alignment with financial targets and driving efficiency across consumables and waste management.

You will also oversee consumables management, ensuring accurate stock control and timely deliveries, and conduct hygiene audits with clear reporting and follow-up.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone with strong literacy and numeracy skills (equivalent to GCSE grade C/4 or above), and an advanced understanding of MS Office applications. Familiarity with Quality Systems, Hygiene & Environmental standards, and SAP is highly desirable.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have hands-on experience with financial budgeting and are confident using spreadsheets to analyse and manage data. Proficiency in Excel, including pivot tables and formulas, is a strong advantage.

This role offers the opportunity to be a key contributor to a high-performing team, where your organisational skills and proactive mindset will make a real impact.
