Within our growing organisation, we offer you the opportunity to get the best out of yourself and further develop your personal skills. Together with three colleagues, you will provide secretarial and administrative support and be a point of contact for (international) colleagues and customers.

Actively thinking along with and contributing to improving and automating work at the secretariat;

This will be your day

	8:00	Of course, the day starts with a cup of coffee or tea. Before you are well and truly underway, you check for any last-minute flight requests or changes from colleagues about to fly to the other side of the world. Quickly you deal with these so that everyone can travel without stress. Then you put the keys and papers ready for colleagues who have booked a car through the reservation system.
	10:00	Among other things, it's up to you to arrange plane tickets, hotels and transport for our employees. A challenge? Definitely. But who doesn't like a bit of puzzling to find the best connections and deals? As you work out these travel plans, colleagues walk in with all sorts of questions - from ‘Is there any mail for me?’ to ‘I need a notepad.’ Flexibility is your middle name and between booking, you switch smoothly to the various requests.
	13:00	After the lunch break, it's time for the administrative side of your duties. You manage the reservation system (for meeting rooms and cars, among others) and carefully check invoices from car rental companies, hotels, etc. In between, a few facility chores come along.
	15:00	In the afternoon, the creative in you will come out and think about how administrative processes can be better and more efficient, maybe even with some automation. New ideas? They are most welcome! In between, you will refer a visitor and take some calls.
	16:30	Before ending the day, you check for any last-minute changes in colleagues' travel schedules, complete the last outstanding tasks and get your mail ready for tomorrow. It's been another action-packed and fulfilling day, and tomorrow I'm sure another new challenge awaits you!
