3. Handle front-desk duties: receive visitors, calls, and deliveries, and direct them appropriately.
4. Maintain organized physical and digital records, files, and documentation.
5. Coordinate logistics for meetings, travel, and company events (scheduling, venues, refreshments).
6. Support procurement of office items and equipment; track requests, purchases, and receipts for finance.
7. Assist departments with general administrative tasks and correspondence.
8. Ensure compliance with basic health, safety, and office policies.
9. Support onboarding logistics for new hires (workspace, tools, access) in coordination with HR.

2. Strong organisational and time-management skills; able to juggle multiple tasks.
3. Good communication and interpersonal skills.
