The Office Assistant is responsible for providing a warm, welcoming and efficient reception experience, whilst maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality, diplomacy and discretion. The role requires excellent interpersonal and communication skills, sound judgement and the ability to adapt to different situations and personalities.
The Office Assistant is a key contributor to the smooth and efficient running of the office. This requires a proactive and organised approach, excellent attention to detail and the ability to anticipate requirements, manage competing priorities and respond calmly and effectively in a fast-paced environment.
Given the proximity of the role to KWP's Director (Producer Kenny Wax) and other senior staff, the Office Assistant will frequently be entrusted with sensitive, commercially confidential and/or personal information. A high degree of integrity, tact and professionalism is therefore essential, with the ability to handle information appropriately and understand when matters should be escalated, shared or kept strictly confidential.
The successful candidate will be someone with at least 1 years' office based administrative experience and should be available to join us from the 23rd November 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone looking to work in a vibrant, ever-growing company with a group of dedicated, supportive
and creative colleagues.
Kenny Wax Limited is committed to Equal Opportunities and welcomes applications from a variety of backgrounds and all sections of the community.
