Job Description
We are looking for a proactive and organised Office Assistant to support a dynamic business in the heart of Harrow HA1. This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual with strong administrative skills to step into a varied role where no two days are the same.

The client is a well-established company seeking reliable support to manage their administrative workload, allowing their core teams to focus on strategic goals.
By applying through Workers-Direct, a leading provider of temporary admin staff in Harrow, you gain access to roles that are often not advertised publicly.

Our dedicated consultants understand the Harrow market intimately and will match your skills with the right company culture.
Key Responsibilities
- Managing the front desk, including greeting visitors, answering incoming calls, and handling general email correspondence in a professional manner.

- Coordinating meeting room bookings, preparing agendas, and ensuring refreshments and necessary equipment are available for internal and external meetings.
- Assisting with basic financial tasks, including processing invoices, reconciling petty cash, and managing stationery and office supply orders.
- Supporting various departments with ad-hoc projects, which may involve compiling reports, creating presentations, and assisting with event coordination.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in an Office Assistant, administrative, or similar support role, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and the ability to learn new internal systems quickly.
- A highly organised, detail-oriented approach with the ability to prioritise a varied workload and work effectively without constant supervision.
- A positive, can-do attitude, reliability, and a professional demeanour that represents the company well to clients and visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Office Assistant job in Harrow?
We are looking for an ASAP start. Once you apply and are successfully vetted by our team, which includes a quick interview and reference checks, you could be starting within 1-3 days. The speed depends on your immediate availability and the client's final confirmation.
What experience do I need to be an Office Assistant?
While previous office experience is highly beneficial, we also consider candidates with strong transferable skills from retail, customer service, or other organisational roles. Key attributes include proficiency in Microsoft Office, excellent communication, and a keen eye for detail. For more specialised support roles like an HR Assistant / Administrator, specific experience may be required.
Is this a temporary role only, or could it become permanent?
This is initially a temporary placement, but many of our temporary roles have the strong potential to become permanent (temp-to-perm). This is often based on performance and the ongoing needs of the client. We are transparent about the potential for permanency from the outset.
Do I need to live in Harrow HA1 to apply?
While living in or near Harrow HA1 is a significant advantage for commute times, we welcome applications from candidates in surrounding Northwest London areas such as Wembley, Brent, Ealing, and Pinner, provided you can reliably commute to the HA1 postcode for the start of your shift.
What is the difference between applying with an agency like Workers-Direct and applying directly to a company?
Applying through Workers-Direct gives you access to a wider range of unadvertised roles and a dedicated consultant who advocates for you. We handle the payroll, offer weekly pay, and provide ongoing support. It's an efficient way to find flexible work, similar to how we help candidates find warehouse jobs in Luton or cleaning jobs in Leeds.
What other types of jobs does Workers-Direct recruit for in the Harrow area?
We are a multi-sector agency. In addition to Office Assistant and admin roles, we frequently recruit for Hotel Receptionist positions in local hospitality, Maintenance Technician / Operative roles for property and facilities companies, warehouse operatives, cleaners, and skilled trade roles.
