Secretary in Breda

Do you enjoy ensuring that administration and secretarial work run smoothly and do you think along about how it can be improved? At Employment Advisory, you will work under the guidance of an office manager and have an independent role with plenty of room for your own input. You switch gears quickly, maintain an overview, and take ownership: you pick up tasks, monitor progress, and ensure they are completed. In addition, you are constantly thinking about how the work can be smarter, better, and more efficient.

A new client is starting, a colleague is joining the team, and a quote needs to be sent out. You maintain an overview and ensure that the administrative onboarding of clients and colleagues is well-organized. You assist the specialists in preparing quotes and order confirmations, are responsible for invoicing, and schedule client meetings and gatherings. You align priorities and monitor progress. This way, the specialists and the MT can count on your support.

You support the specialists and the MT of Employment Advisory: a growing practice where employment lawyers, payroll tax specialists, Global Mobility specialists, International Payroll specialists, and HR and organizational consultants work together under one roof on personnel issues. You work with driven professionals who want to move forward and seek each other out to progress together. You are right in the middle of that team and ensure that administration and planning run smoothly. You coordinate with colleagues regarding the necessary data for a new client, align on quotes and order confirmations, and ensure careful and timely invoicing. You also maintain an overview when scheduling client meetings and gatherings and coordinate the agendas. In doing so, you handle confidential information with care.

You do not only execute, but also look critically at how we work. Can something be done faster, better, or more efficiently? Then you make it discussable and come up with a practical proposal. For example, is data regularly missing during onboarding, or do recurring administrative tasks cost unnecessary amounts of time? You investigate with colleagues what else can be done, coordinate the approach with the office manager, and help implement the improvement. You keep an eye on whether the new way of working truly works.

• You work accurately and carefully: you check data, keep the administration in order, and handle confidential information discreetly. The number of years of work experience is not decisive for us; your qualities and motivation to make this role your own are.

• You have a completed mbo or hbo education in, for example, Secretarial, Business Administration, or Office Management.

• You communicate clearly and pleasantly with clients and colleagues, ask follow-up questions if something is unclear, and have a good command of both Dutch and English, both orally and in writing.

• You switch quickly between different questions and activities, maintain an overview, and set the right priorities

• You show ownership: you take initiative, monitor follow-up, and complete tasks. You see opportunities to organize the work faster, better, and more efficiently and help implement improvements.

• You are available 32–40 hours per week.
