Duties will include, but will not be limited to:

This is a varied, hands-on role supporting the day-to-day running of a busy healthcare and laboratory services business. No two days will be exactly the same, and you’ll have the opportunity to develop experience across customer service, sales administration, logistics and general business administration.

As part of a small and supportive team, you’ll gradually take on more responsibility as your confidence and skills develop.

An average day or week could include:

  • Supporting our sales and operations: helping to process customer orders and enquiries, preparing and packing testing kits for dispatch, arranging courier collections, tracking kits through the courier network and helping to resolve any delivery or collection queries
  • Supporting the wider business administration: keeping electronic and paper records organised, filing and updating information, working with spreadsheets and Word documents, entering and checking data, and helping the team with a range of general administrative tasks needed to keep the business running smoothly.
  • Diary management
  • This apprenticeship would suit someone who enjoys variety, is organised and pays attention to detail. You’ll be working in an environment where accuracy and good customer service are important, while gaining a broad understanding of how a growing business operates

Additional duties:

  • Team refreshments
  • Tracking office supplies
  • Answering the phone
  • Diary duties (scheduling)

Where it leads

Successful completion of the apprenticeship could lead to a permanent position within the business, with opportunities to progress into roles such as Office Administrator, Office Manager, Logistics Coordinator, or Operations Coordinator.

We also work directly with members of the public for a small number of tests. Technical support is provided by the MD so the office team deal with sales admin, customer service and logistics.

Things to consider

That there will be a lot to learn, but you will be supported and we don’t expect anyone to have test knowledge. We treat them as products so it becomes easier to learn.
