Others are about finding somewhere you can genuinely make a difference. At Sees Flooring, we are looking for the latter.

Since then, we have grown into an established and respected commercial flooring contractor, delivering projects across London, the South East and East Anglia. Our reputation has been built on honesty, integrity, professionalism, quality and doing what we say we will do. We are proud of what we have built, but equally ambitious about what comes next. Our objective is not simply to become a bigger business. It is to become a better business better organised, better connected, more efficient and an exceptional place for good people to work, develop and succeed. This appointment is an important part of that journey.

The role is deliberately broad. We want someone who develops a deep understanding of the business, sees what needs attention and takes responsibility for making things happen. Who Are We Looking For Your current job title matters less to us than how you think and how you work. You may currently be a Business Operations Manager, Operations Manager, Senior Office Manager, Executive Assistant, Practice Manager or working within another broad operational role. You are likely to: Take genuine ownership and accountability. Be exceptionally organised and dependable. Create order from complexity. Think ahead rather than simply react. Communicate confidently with people at every level. Build trust and strong working relationships. Exercise sound judgement and challenge constructively. Manage competing priorities without losing attention to detail. Naturally look for better ways of doing things. Enjoy developing and supporting other people. Have the emotional intelligence to handle different personalities and situations. Take pride in completing things properly. Construction experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential. Character, judgement, professionalism, curiosity and potential matter more. Who Will Thrive Here Someone who enjoys responsibility, continual improvement and helping others succeed. Someone who sees a problem and starts thinking about the solution. Someone who can support people while still encouraging accountability. Someone who wants their ideas and contribution to genuinely matter. We don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. Our philosophy is: We do not recruit people because they already know everything. We recruit people because they have the curiosity, humility and determination to continually become better than they were yesterday. What We Offer: £45,000 £55,000, depending on experience. Discretionary performance-related bonus. Company pension and free on-site parking. Direct involvement with the Managing Director and senior leadership team. Genuine autonomy, responsibility and influence. Ongoing learning and professional development. The opportunity to improve the business rather than simply maintain it.

Interested If you are looking for more than simply your next job and want an opportunity where your organisation, judgement, ideas and professionalism can genuinely influence the future of a successful business, we would very much like to hear from you. We are not simply looking to fill a vacancy. We are looking for someone who wants to help shape the next chapter of Sees Flooring.

One day will be focused on managing the Northampton office, with the second giving you the opportunity to get involved in client projects, marketing, systems, compliance and business operations. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and simply process paperwork. We're looking for someone proactive, capable and commercially aware who will spot when something needs doing and take care of it. You'll be trusted to work independently, manage your own priorities and become an important point of support for the wider team. Your week could involve making sure the office is running properly one day, preparing professional client documentation the next, coordinating marketing activity, updating the CRM, liaising with IT providers or helping keep compliance processes on track. Variety is a big part of what makes this role interesting. We're particularly interested in people who: Have previously worked as an Office Manager, Senior Administrator, Executive Assistant, Business Support professional or in a similar position. Are naturally organised and enjoy bringing structure to a busy environment. Have excellent written English and a strong eye for detail. Are confident producing and proofreading professional documents and presentations. Can manage confidential and sensitive information professionally. Are comfortable working with Microsoft Office, CRM systems and databases . Have some exposure to marketing, communications or business development activity. Can deal confidently with senior stakeholders and external contacts. Are happy working independently rather than needing constant direction. Have a 'see it, sort it' mentality and take pride in doing things properly. What makes this role different? You'll have genuine ownership rather than being one small part of a large administration team. You'll be trusted to manage the Northampton office, but you'll also have the opportunity to contribute to projects and areas of the wider business. It's a role where your organisational skills, judgement and initiative will genuinely make a difference. The 2-day working week also makes this an attractive opportunity for someone who has significant experience but is looking for greater flexibility, whether that's for family commitments, a better work-life balance or simply a move away from full-time hours. Hours: 9:00am-5:30pm, 2 days per week Days: To be agreed Salary: 34,000 FTE ( 17.44 per hour), pro rata Location: Northampton, with support across the Northampton and Swindon offices If you're an experienced administrator or office professional who likes having responsibility, enjoys variety and wants to be the person people rely on to get things done, we'd love to hear from you.
