SalaryAre you an experienced, proactive administrator looking for your next role within a collaborative and welcoming environment? If so, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has exciting opportunities to develop your career as an Office Manager within either our Belfast, Cardiff or Edinburgh offices.
About the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
We help people, businesses, and the UK economy by promoting competitive markets and tackling unfair behaviour. Our work is wide ranging, ambitious and often new and challenging.
The role
As an Office Manager, you will enable colleagues and visitors to be productive in a collaborative, safe and clean workspace, ensuring the smooth running of your office and providing real-time support for all who use it.
You will join our Facilities Management team in a role that is broad in its scope, as you will undertake a range of responsibilities, including office space management, health and safety, and building estates. This will require you to establish strong stakeholder relationships with external service providers and the building estates team, ensuring that the appropriate services have been agreed and health and safety issues are addressed.
You will also act as a key point of contact for CMA staff at all levels within the organisation, providing help and support with office-related matters, whilst resolving issues and representing their office space needs.
What you will need
You will possess excellent organisational skills, including proven ability in effectively prioritising your workload and delivering quality outcomes to deadlines.
You must also be able to work flexibly, and independently as needed, as part of a diverse and geographically dispersed team, demonstrating strong interpersonal and relationship building skills.
Alongside this, you will also demonstrate strong administrative and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to make timely decisions and to handle prioritisation challenges at short notice.
What we can offer you
The CMA is a hugely diverse, rewarding and stimulating place to work – an opportunity to work for the public good and to stretch and develop yourself in doing so. We offer generous benefits, including an excellent pension scheme with an average employer contribution of 27%, at least 25 days leave (increasing to 30 over five years), and generous maternity/paternity leave provision. You can also take advantage of interest-free season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, and our extensive flexible working options.
We actively promote mental and physical wellbeing with access to an employee assistance programme, a varied programme of wellbeing initiatives and a network of mental health first aiders.
