Office Administrator Petone

We’re on the lookout for an exceptional Office Assistant to join our busy team, starting at 3 days per week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 9:30am–2:30pm). This is a great opportunity for someone looking to work school hours, with flexibility around school holidays and the potential for the role to grow.

Our office moves quickly and so do we — we need someone calm under pressure, highly adaptable, and able to keep up with a fast-paced and often intense environment. You’ll be fielding calls from suppliers, staff, and clients from all over New Zealand, so clear, confident communication is a must — especially when managing the occasional tough conversation.

A key part of this role is typing emails — often dictated over the phone — so you must be able to touch type at 60+ words per minute with good accuracy. We ask that you complete a 3-minute blind typing test at TypingTest.com and include a screenshot of your results with your application.

In addition to phone and typing duties, your role will also include:

Keeping the office clean and tidy

Ordering supplies and managing stock

Assisting management with day-to-day tasks

Data entry and updating documentation

Maintaining and updating databases

Contributing to the overall smooth running of the office

To apply, you must:

Submit your CV

Include a screenshot of your TypingTest.com results (3-minute blind typing test)

Applications without both of these will not be considered.

This role is ideal for someone with school-age children, strong attention to detail, a thick skin and a proactive, positive attitude. If you thrive in a busy environment and want to be part of a supportive, hardworking team — we’d love to hear from you.

(please only apply through Trade Me - we will not be accepting applications through any other avenues)
