What you'll do

As a secretarial assistant, you have an important role within the company. You are the face of the organization, part of the support team, and ensure that everything within the organization runs smoothly.

You will be involved in a diverse range of tasks, including:

You will receive our clients and be responsible for, among other things, our telephone traffic, mail, (meeting) rooms, calendar management, ordering office supplies, and looking after printers and IT.
You ensure that the office looks tidy at all times and observe our Clean Desk Policy.
You will also work closely with our Recruitment and HR departments and support them with all matters related to our new starters.

Because of you, everyone will get off to a flying start.
Furthermore, there are a number of financial tasks that you will take on. These consist of, among other things, processing incoming invoices, setting up new suppliers, and tracking expenses in a budget overview.
