Job Summary
We are seeking a reliable, organized, and client-focused Administrative Assistant to support the day-to-day operations of our Langford office.
As the first point of contact for many clients, you will help create a welcoming and supportive environment. Your responsibilities will include answering calls, scheduling appointments, maintaining client records, and providing general administrative support to the team.
You will also provide administrative support to the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Operations as needed. This may include scheduling meetings, booking travel, and assisting with other administrative tasks.
