An interesting post, in a creative environment, this position would suit someone who has enjoyed working in a small office, with the ability to adapt to a variety of different tasks when required.

Our clients range from small businesses to multi-national companies, which is why our days and production schedule can be so varied. Naturally, confidentiality is essential, especially as we often deal with a number of projects for film and television.
Confident to deal with a variety of callers, it is just as important to ensure a friendly welcome to those who visit our studios. Responding promptly and professionally to all contacts is essential for the continuing success of our business, as is the ability to promote our products.

In addition, the successful candidate may, when needed, be required to help out in the studio packing orders and assisting in product production at busy times. An interest in art and craft would be an advantage but is not essential.
Hours will be approximately 40 per week, however due to the nature of the position, and the requirements to meet deadlines, additional hours will be necessary. October to December is our busiest period, and therefore weekend and evening work is expected. As the successful applicant may become a key holder for the premises, living within the Cardiff area would be preferable. Salary is negotiable and will depend on experience.
