Entry Level Support jobs in Manchester

About the Role

We are looking for an organised, enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our team as an Operations Assistant.

This is an entry-level role offering the opportunity to learn about different areas of business operations, including administration, health and safety, employee training, vehicle coordination and facilities management across multiple depots.

You will help keep our day-to-day operations running smoothly by maintaining records, coordinating training, arranging inspections and supporting the safe and efficient running of our sites.

You don't need previous experience in health and safety or facilities management. We're looking for someone with a positive attitude, good organisational skills and a genuine willingness to learn.

You'll be guided through your day-to-day responsibilities, with training and support from the team as you get to grips with the role. You won't be expected to know everything or work independently from day one. As your knowledge and confidence grow, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of tasks, develop new skills and progress within the business.

Key Responsibilities

The role will cover a variety of administrative and operational tasks, including:

• General administration: Maintaining records, updating spreadsheets, organising documents and supporting the day-to-day activities of the operations team.
• Health & safety: Helping maintain health and safety records, supporting audits and assisting with our ISO management systems — ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 45001 (Health & Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management).
• Employee training: Keeping training records up to date, monitoring expiry dates, booking courses and helping ensure employees have the training required for their roles.
• Facilities and equipment: Coordinating maintenance, servicing and inspections across our depots, including for example - fire safety, emergency lighting, roller shutter doors, LOLER inspections and PAT testing.
• Vehicle Management: Assisting with the scheduling of vehicle servicing and MOT’s.

You'll receive guidance on these responsibilities and gradually become more involved as you develop your understanding of the business.

• Comfortable using computers and willing to learn systems such as Microsoft Excel and Outlook.
• A good communicator who is happy to work with colleagues and external contacts.
• Proactive, willing to ask questions and comfortable taking guidance.
• Interested in building a career and taking on more responsibility over time.
