Admin/Receptionist

Overview

We are a small, independent vehicle repair garage looking for a reliable, organised and motivated Garage Administrator and Receptionist to join our team.

This is a varied, hands-on role working closely with the garage owner, helping to ensure the day-to-day running of the business is smooth and efficient. The ideal candidate will have previous administrative experience, preferably within the motor trade or a similar environment, with a good basic understanding of office administration and invoicing.

As part of a small team, you will need to be proactive, flexible and comfortable managing a variety of tasks, with no two days necessarily being the same.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing and processing customer invoices.
• Ordering vehicle parts and liaising with suppliers to ensure parts are available when needed.
• Answering incoming telephone calls and responding to customer enquiries by phone and email.
• Handling customer queries professionally and providing updates where required.
• General office administration, including maintaining accurate records and paperwork.
• Assisting with the day-to-day organisation of the garage.
• Liaising with the owner, mechanics, suppliers and customers to support the smooth running of the business.
• Undertaking general ad hoc administrative duties as required.

About You

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Previous experience in an administrative or office-based role.
• A good basic knowledge of invoicing, administration and general office procedures.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Good telephone manner and confident written communication skills.
• Good computer skills and the ability to learn new systems.
• A friendly, professional and helpful approach when dealing with customers and suppliers.
• The ability to work independently, use initiative and manage competing priorities.
• A flexible, practical attitude and willingness to help wherever needed.

Previous experience within a vehicle repair garage or the motor trade would be an advantage. However, a sound basic knowledge of administration and invoicing is essential.

What We Offer

• A full-time, Monday to Friday position, working 9:00am to 5:00pm.
• A varied role with a good mix of administrative and day-to-day operational responsibilities.
