Job Description
We are seeking a proactive and highly organised Office Manager to oversee the daily administrative and operational functions of a busy, forward-thinking company based in the vibrant Swansea SA1 district. This is a hands-on role where you will be the central hub of the office, ensuring everything runs smoothly, from supplier management and facilities coordination to supporting senior staff and mentoring junior administrators. The successful candidate will play a critical role in enhancing workplace productivity and fostering a positive, efficient office environment. The employer values initiative, excellent communication, and a solutions-focused approach, making this an ideal position for someone who enjoys variety and tangible responsibility.
By applying through Recruitment Agency London, you gain direct access to this exclusive opportunity and many others like it across Swansea and South Wales. We specialise in understanding the local job market's nuances, connecting candidates not just with a job, but with a role that matches their career aspirations and lifestyle. Our service is designed to be fast and supportive; we handle the initial screening and presentation to the client, saving you time and increasing your chances of a successful placement. Whether you're an experienced Office Manager looking for a new challenge or a senior administrator ready to step up, we provide the gateway to top employers who trust us to find their key personnel. Just as we successfully place Hotel Front Desk Agents in Swansea SA2 or source talent for Immediate Start Facilities Management Jobs, we apply the same diligent, candidate-centric approach to office and administrative roles.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee all daily office operations, including managing post, supplies, maintenance, and ensuring a clean, safe, and functional working environment for all staff.
- Act as the first point of contact for visitors, clients, and suppliers, managing reception duties and maintaining a professional front-of-house image.
- Coordinate and manage office budgets, process invoices, track expenses, and liaise with accounts departments to ensure financial administration is accurate and timely.
- Provide high-level administrative support to directors and senior management, including diary management, travel arrangements, and preparing meeting materials.
- Supervise and support junior administrative staff, delegating tasks effectively and contributing to their training and professional development.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as an Office Manager, Office Supervisor, or in a similar senior administrative role, with a strong track record of improving office efficiency.
- Exceptional organisational and multitasking skills, with the ability to prioritise a busy workload and remain calm under pressure.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to liaise with people at all levels, both internally and externally.
- Strong proficiency in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and experience with office management software or databases.
Salary & Benefits
This Office Manager position offers a highly competitive hourly or daily rate, which will be discussed transparently upon application and is reflective of your experience and the specific requirements of the role. We believe in fair pay for skilled professionals. As a temporary worker placed through Recruitment Agency London, you will benefit from our streamlined weekly pay process, ensuring you are paid accurately and on time for all hours worked. Furthermore, this role offers the potential to transition into a permanent position for the right candidate, providing excellent job security and career progression within a growing Swansea-based company. Additional benefits may include access to a workplace pension scheme and opportunities for further training.
It's important to understand the value of working with a specialist agency. Just as a Quality Control Inspector ensures product standards, we ensure the quality of the match between candidate and employer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Office Manager job in Swansea SA1?
This role is for an immediate start. Once you apply and are successfully vetted by our recruitment team, we can arrange an interview with the client promptly. For candidates with all necessary documentation ready, the process from application to starting can often be within a matter of days. We specialise in fast placements, much like our service for Immediate Start Warehouse Jobs.
What is the difference between temp and temp-to-perm?
A temporary (temp) role has a fixed end date or is ongoing but without a permanent contract guarantee. Temp-to-perm means you start on a temporary basis, often through our agency, with a view to the employer offering you a permanent contract after a successful trial period. This Office Manager role has strong temp-to-perm potential for the right candidate.
Do I need specific qualifications to be an Office Manager?
While formal qualifications in Business Administration or Management are advantageous, most employers prioritise proven experience, strong soft skills (organisation, communication, leadership), and proficiency with office software. A track record of successfully managing office operations is typically the most critical requirement.
Can I apply if I live outside Swansea but can commute?
Absolutely. We welcome applications from candidates across South Wales who can reliably commute to the SA1 postcode. Many of our roles, from HGV Driver Class 1 positions to Nursery Nurse jobs, are filled by talented individuals from surrounding towns and cities. Be sure to mention your commute readiness in your application.
What support does Recruitment Agency London provide during my assignment?
You will have a dedicated consultant as your single point of contact. They will handle your timesheets, payroll queries, and be available to discuss any workplace issues, acting as a mediator between you and the employer. We are there to support you throughout your assignment.
Are there other types of management jobs available in Swansea?
Yes, we recruit for various management and supervisory roles. In addition to Office Manager positions, we often have needs for Quality Control Inspector supervisors, warehouse team leaders, and facilities managers.
