Vacancy Detail
Paragon Training is looking for an Office Administrator Apprentice to join their team and support the day-to-day running of the business. Paragon Training is a well-established company that creates and supplies professional training resources used by organisations across the UK. With years of experience developing high-quality learning materials, the team works closely together to support customers, manage products, and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. This is a great opportunity to join a friendly office environment and gain valuable experience while learning how a successful training business operates.
In this role, you’ll help keep the office running smoothly by supporting the team with everyday tasks. This could include checking emails, helping with incoming and outgoing post, keeping files and invoices organised, updating the company database and website, and making sure the office has the stationery and supplies it needs. You’ll also learn how orders are processed, help manage products sold online (including through Amazon), assist with simple sales reports, and support the team with typing letters, maintaining printers, and sending promotional emails to customers.
Extensive experience is not expected for this role, but any previous experience in a business environment, school project, or part-time job would be an advantage. The most important qualities are a willingness to learn, good attention to detail, and a positive attitude. In return, you’ll gain practical workplace skills, learn how different parts of a business work together, and become part of a supportive team where you can grow and develop.
