Administrative assistants

Administrative assistants provide vital office support, from answering phones to ordering stationery, entering data on computers to filing paperwork.

Administrative assistants need to be:

• methodical and well-organised
• able to work accurately and pay attention to detail
• literate and numerate
• familiar with computers
• good teamworkers
• able to prioritise work.

There are usually no formal academic qualifications needed but many schools would insist on at least four GCSEs at A-C, including English and maths.
