Administration & Recepetionist Assistant

Are you someone who loves helping people, keeping things organised and being the person others can rely on?

Morgan Consulting is partnering with a well-established national organisation to recruit an Administration & Reception Assistant to join their Melbourne CBD office on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone at the beginning of their administration career, or someone coming from customer service, retail or hospitality who is looking to take that next step into a professional office environment.

You don’t need years of corporate experience. What matters most is your attitude.

We’re looking for someone who is bubbly, approachable, reliable and genuinely enjoys helping others. Someone who notices when something needs doing, is happy to jump in and support the team and takes pride in making sure the office runs smoothly.

The opportunity

You’ll be joining a small, supportive national office where you’ll become an important part of the day-to-day running of the workplace.

This is a varied role where no two days will look exactly the same. You could be welcoming visitors, organising travel and accommodation, preparing for meetings, assisting with invoices, coordinating office supplies or supporting different teams with general administration.

Some of your responsibilities will include:

• Being the first point of contact for visitors, calls and deliveries
• General administration and office support
• Managing mail, couriers and the general office inbox
• Coordinating travel and accommodation bookings
• Assisting with travel invoice reconciliation
• Updating calendars and coordinating staff leave documentation
• Supporting meetings, events and staff functions
• Setting up meeting rooms and keeping shared spaces organised
• Ordering office and kitchen supplies
• Providing administration support across different teams
• Jumping in and helping wherever an extra set of hands is needed

This is very much a hands-on office support role. We’re looking for someone who is happy to pitch in across everything, including keeping meeting rooms, common areas and staff kitchens tidy, organised and stocked.

About you

You may already have some reception or administration experience, or you could be coming from retail, hospitality or customer service and looking to build your career within an office environment.

More importantly, you’ll be someone who:

• Is friendly, bubbly and approachable
• Has strong communication and customer service skills
• Is reliable, punctual and someone others can count on
• Naturally enjoys helping people and being part of a team
• Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in their work
• Is organised and comfortable managing different priorities
• Is happy to take direction, ask questions and learn
• Is confident using Microsoft Office including Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams
• Is comfortable with both administration and practical office tasks
• Has a positive attitude and is willing to get involved

Why this opportunity?

For someone earlier in their career, this is a great opportunity to build genuine administration experience within a supportive national organisation.

You’ll work alongside different teams, gain exposure across a broad range of office functions and have the opportunity to develop your administration and coordination skills.

This role would particularly suit someone who gets satisfaction from helping others, enjoys variety and wants to become that reliable person within a team who helps keep everything moving.

The details

• Melbourne CBD, Queen Street
• 12-month fixed-term contract
• Full-time, Monday to Friday
• Five days per week in the office
• Entry-level opportunity 
• Supportive, close-knit team environment

If you’re someone who brings a great attitude, enjoys helping others and is looking for an opportunity to build your administration career, we’d love to hear from you.
