Office Manager

Office Managers oversee the operations of the office and administrative support team. They are usually in charge of the organisation’s clerks, reception staff, accounting and payroll team, secretaries and interns - supervising their work performance and managing the hiring.

As an Office Manager you’ll be responsible for the development of office procedures, documentation and records systems — ensuring that all work complies with government legislation and mandatory returns are submitted on time.
