Receptionist & Administrator

What’s on Offer?

We know you want to know the bottom line first. Here is what you will get out of this contract:

• Competitive Pay: $70,000 base salary + Superannuation.

• Job Security: A guaranteed 10-month, fixed-term contract starting in early August.

• True Autonomy: A peaceful, independent working environment where you are trusted to manage your own day without being micromanaged.

• Seamless Transition: An early August start date allows for a comprehensive and supportive handover period.

The Opportunity

Are you a highly organised professional who enjoys a healthy balance of front-desk interaction and focused, back-office administration?

Randstad is partnering with a highly respected organisation in Canberra to cover a 10-month maternity leave. This role is perfect for someone who values independence and enjoys working in a steady environment where they can simply put their head down and get things done.

What You Will Be Doing

In this dual-focus role, you will be the welcoming face of the Canberra office while independently managing critical day-to-day accounts and administrative tasks. Your core duties will include:

• Front of House: Warmly greeting guests and clients, answering incoming calls, and managing general enquiries.

• Accounts Administration: Generating Purchase Orders (POs), processing delivery dockets, and accurately matching them to invoices for the finance team.

• Data & Systems: Performing high-volume data entry and utilising Microsoft Excel for tracking and reporting.

• Office Management: Taking ownership of the physical workspace, ensuring the reception, meeting rooms, and kitchen are tidy and well-stocked.

Who We Are Looking For

We aren't looking for a salesperson; we are looking for a reliable, down-to-earth professional with a genuine "can-do" attitude. You will thrive here if you have:

• Relevant Experience: Previous background in reception, administration, or junior accounts support.

• Technical Capability: Strong computer literacy with solid, practical experience in Microsoft Excel. Prior experience managing POs and invoicing processes is highly regarded.

• Independence: You are highly comfortable working individually. You can manage your own time, prioritise tasks, and take initiative without needing constant direction.

• Communication: A professional, friendly, and clear communication style, both over the phone and in person.

If you are an independent worker with the administrative skills to hit the ground running this August, we would love to hear from you.

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
