About your new Administrator role with The Chef Tree

We’re helping The Chef Tree team to hire a new, experienced Administer to join our small remote working team. You will manage the day-to-day administrative demands of a busy chef agency. The tasks and responsibilities are varied so you will be kept on your toes from the word go!

The Chef Tree is a well-established agency (2009) that specialises in supplying Chefs to UK-based residential and nursing homes as well as schools. You will be liaising with these clients to ensure invoices are paid, bookings are set up correctly and guide chefs through their DBS process … as well as many other vital admin tasks.

About You

  • If you love a fast-paced, varied role with a small team, this could be your ideal next role.
  • Personality and relationship building is just as important to this role, as attention to detail and organisation skills.
  • You love systems and learning new technologies such as databases and invoicing platforms.
  • You love being the credit control team member and are happy to make the calls needed to chase invoice payments.
  • You are a naturally enthusiastic person with a genuine passion for helping people, problem-solving and doing a good job.
  • You’re numerate and understand numbers in the sense that you can spot if an Excel spreadsheet or invoice looks wrong!
  • You’ll be comfortable in regular video team meetings, have ideas to bring to the table and be confident working closely (but remotely) with the Directors and Desk Manager.
  • The team all work from home so if you look for a close-knit team all office-based, this is definitely not the right role and team for you.

Working from Home

  • Working from home can have its challenges whereas you love it and you have previous experience of working in this capacity.
  • Your home environment helps you to stay highly motivated and productive, even on super busy days!
  • Your home working set-up is key and you’ll have ample space for a desk in your home and know what it takes to excel as a key part of our small team.

To join our team at The Chef Tree as their new Administrator (Remote - Credit Control and Ops), you’ll have the following skills, experience and personality:

  • Previous administration experience is essential - and must be from a fast-paced admin background!
  • You’re an excellent communicator via email, on the phone and via video (they use Zoom).
  • Solid grammar and writing skills.
  • An eye for detail - nothing slips by your ability to spot mistakes.
  • Process-driven and you love working to deadlines.
  • Happy to jump on a call to a client for credit control and ask when payment will be made, then follow up via email.
  • A willingness to contribute ideas - we find small teams work well when everyone contributes.
  • Always looking at ways to improve things.
  • Highly self-motivated.
  • The ability to prioritise.
  • Excellent computer skills and ability to learn new systems.
  • On-call for one week in four.

Can't wait to hear from you as we're very excited about adding to their existing, experienced recruitment team.
