If you’re looking for a fresh career move, the Logistics and Shipping Administrator role stands out with its full-time, permanent contract and a competitive salary between £27,000 and £30,000 per year. The company offers valuable perks, such as private Bupa healthcare, an early Friday finish, free parking, a cycle scheme, and access to an employee assistance helpline. Experience in logistics is not required, only a solid background in office or administrative work, making this position accessible yet rewarding.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Day to day, this administrative position covers a variety of essential duties. Candidates will handle sales and logistical enquiries, and support customers through every step of their orders.
Responsibilities include managing sales quotations, orders, and invoices using Sage, ensuring both accuracy and attention to detail. You’ll process customer orders within the company system and keep clients informed about order statuses and any potential delays.
The job also involves coordinating both domestic and international shipments and preparing shipping-related documentation, which includes landing documents and regular communication with customers.
With general office tasks and support for ad hoc admin duties, no two days are ever the same, making it appealing for administration professionals who enjoy multifaceted roles.
What Makes This Role Attractive?
Among the main advantages is the accessibility—candidates need only standard office experience and strong organisational skills, not prior logistics expertise.
The benefits package is impressive. Early finish on Fridays, private healthcare, and free parking contribute to excellent work-life balance and a supportive working environment.
Downsides to Consider
This is an on-site only role, meaning there’s little flexibility for remote working, which could be a limitation for some applicants.
Additionally, as the position involves supporting a small but busy team, there will likely be busier periods, especially when multiple shipments are being coordinated.
Our Verdict
For those with a background in administration seeking a dynamic and stable workplace, this Logistics and Shipping Administrator role offers strong career prospects, a supportive team, and generous benefits. If you value job variety and a professional yet friendly atmosphere, this may be your next step forward.
