Office and Accounts Administrator
Salary: £28,000 FTE
H S Plastering is an established, family-run plastering and drylining contractor based in
Little Eaton, Derbyshire. With over 25 years in business, we work with reputable housing
developers across the region and pride ourselves on professionalism, reliability and
strong long-term relationships.
We are currently looking for our first external hire to join the team. In this role you will
own administrative tasks for the business, working onsite in the office, 5 days per week.
About us
We are a small, close-knit team; this is the first time we’ve brought someone in from
outside the family, so it's an important step for the business.
This role will suit someone who is comfortable working independently. There will be
times when you are the only person in the office while team are out on site, meeting
contractors or managing jobs.
We don’t have a busy walk-in office, but you will be the first point of contact for any
visitors, suppliers or customers, so being friendly and approachable is important.
Our office is based in a converted bungalow and is fairly traditional and functional
rather than modern or corporate. It has everything you need, parking, kitchen, private
offices and facilities but hasn’t had recent upgrades. Over time, we’d like to improve
this, and we’d welcome someone who can take pride in helping us keep things
organised and running smoothly.
You’ll also occasionally be present when we host meetings, so trust and discretion are
important in this role.
