We are seeking a full\-time Office Administrator to join a niche insurance office based in Sherborne.

This is a full\-time position with salary to be discussed. The role offers 25 days’ paid holiday plus Bank Holidays, along with a discretionary annual bonus. Office hours are 9\.30am to 5\.00pm, with a 30\-minute lunch break.

You will be working within a small, mature, and very friendly team, carrying out a range of routine office duties. The role involves handling telephone calls from solicitors and HR professionals, as well as processing standard documentation across a variety of insurance products.

We value reliability and accuracy over speed, along with a friendly and professional telephone manner and a helpful attitude towards both colleagues and clients. Candidates must have recent office experience, be comfortable using a desktop computer, possess good keyboard skills, and have prior working knowledge of email and mail\-merge using Excel.
