Admin Assistant Jobs in Tilbury RM18 | Immediate Start & Flexible Shifts

While requirements vary by client, most Admin Assistant roles in Tilbury RM18 seek at least 6-12 months of office-based experience. This could be in administration, customer service, reception, or a related field. Crucially, we look for strong transferable skills: IT literacy (especially MS Office), communication, organisation, and a professional attitude. If you have these core skills but lack specific titles on your CV, we encourage you to apply anyway. We assess potential as well as experience. For more specialised roles like a Medical Receptionist or IT Helpdesk support, specific sector knowledge may be required.

For roles marked"Immediate Start" or"ASAP", like this one, the process can be very swift. Once you apply, a consultant will contact you typically within 24 hours (on a working day) for an initial screening. If your profile is a good match, we can often arrange a client interview within 1-3 days. Upon a successful interview, a start date can be agreed for the following week, or sometimes even within 48 hours if the need is urgent and all checks are complete. Our entire model is built on speed and responsiveness, getting talented people like you into work without unnecessary delays.

Temporary (Temp): You are employed by Phone Direct and assigned to work for our client for a fixed period or to cover a specific need (e.g., maternity cover, seasonal peak). You receive weekly pay from us. Temp-to-Perm (TTP): This begins as a temporary assignment through Phone Direct but includes a mutual agreement that if both you and the client are happy after a trial period (often 8-13 weeks), you will transition to becoming a permanent, direct employee of the client company. This is an excellent"try before you buy" route for both parties and a fantastic way to secure a permanent role. Many of our Admin Assistant placements in Tilbury follow this model.

Phone Direct recruits for a very wide spectrum of roles across multiple sectors. While Admin Assistant positions are a core speciality, we are also consistently sourcing for Machine Operator roles in local logistics and manufacturing, IT Helpdesk and support technicians, School Receptionist and other educational support staff, healthcare assistants, customer service advisors, warehouse operatives, and more. We encourage you to browse our latest jobs page or speak to a consultant about your full skill set. Your administrative experience could be transferable to many of these areas.
