Administration Apprentice

About this opportunity

An exciting opportunity to join Parcel London – a corporate gifting firm. You will be assisting with daily administration tasks, supporting order fulfilment, and helping to maintaining the brands online presence.

A normal day would include:

• Learning how to list products on Shopify and not on the high street and any other platforms we partner with in the future
• Monthly stock takes
• Potentially some purchasing and buying in the future of gift items lie candles, chocolates, facemasks etc
• Support on seasonal photo shoots for new ranges
• Support on data entry
• Customer outreach support
• Social media management
• Ad hoc duties may include – making refreshments if we have a client meeting, general office support, taking phone calls/messages, greeting visitors, support with DHL/Royal Mail post – incoming/outgoing, invoice support
• Occasional support may be needed on urban Bliss for holiday covers etc where the brands overlap with the shared teams at time but primarily this would be a Parcel London specific role. Our previous apprentice Lauren Bourke who is now permanent supports on both brands
• Where we are a gifting company, there will be an element of picking and packing, and creating labels to send gifts out – tracking of all deliveries, and follow ups with customers if needed

All of the above would have training provided, and we would start slowly and drip feed new tasks once original tasks have been mastered but above would be the ideal for someone to be managing.

We need someone who is motivated, enthusiastic, has some experience on excel, word and computers in general. Social media personal experience would be a bonus but not required. Someone that is friendly, and likes gifting and working on nice, pretty products and is excited to work alongside an established start up brand.

What you could go on to do:
Working way up through further qualifications to continue through the team, or joining another part of our team if they would like experience in those areas also.

How you will be supported
Full training and support will be provided by The Growth Company to help you achieve your apprenticeship and reach your full potential in your role. On the job and practical training will be provided by JSK.
