About Complex Creative

Complex Creative is a full-service creative agency in Aldgate East, London. We specialise in designing and building bespoke WordPress websites for a whole range of clients.

Our team is very young and enthusiastic and we are looking for candidates who will fit well with other members of the team.

We regularly go on socials and team dinners in Shoreditch.

Perks include:

• Birthdays off
• Annual trip abroad
• Xmas gifts
• Monthly socials (paid for)
• Mental health day every 6 weeks
• Volunteering day off
• Free coffee/snacks/booze in the office
• Corporate perks package - discounts and freebies

Job responsibilities

The office administrator will be carrying out a variety of admin duties in our creative studio. Daily tasks include:

• Answering phones
• Writing emails
• Helping customer enquiries
• Photocopying
• Note-taking
• Managing calendars
• Composing documents
• Sending contracts out for signature

They will be largely assisting the Managing Director of the company, but they will provide support to the designers, developers and marketers in the agency.

Required skills/experience

Since this job is part of the government’s Kickstart Scheme, we offer a lot of on-the-job training, so we do not expect each candidate to already be fluent in the above.

We ask that candidates already have good knowledge of Microsoft Office and have great communication skills - both verbal and written. They need to be able to act in a professional way as they will be handling client requests. They need to be very organised as they will be keeping on top of diaries and making sure people stick to deadlines etc.

The ideal candidate will be happy to do some basic bookkeeping in Xero - training will be provided for this.

Hours

Hours are flexible during the first 6 months of the contract, but we do require you to be at our team meeting at 9.30am every Mon-Fri.

The Kickstart Scheme is for 25 hours a week, but for stronger candidates, 40 hour contracts will be offered after a few weeks.

After the 6 month placement

We are ideally looking for candidates to stay with us long-term. So, if you love your time at Complex Creative after 6 months and you have performed well during your contract, we will offer you a full-time position.

Eligibility

Since this is part of the Kickstart Scheme, you must qualify under the government criteria.
