Londinium Recruitment

Document Controller £35,000 - £40,000 Central London HOOK You're six months into a role that ticked all the boxes on paper. The team is fine. The pay is fine. But fine isn't why you got up this morning. What if the next job wasn't just competent but actually somewhere you'd want to be? A place where the team has been stable for years, where your work gets noticed, and where you're not fighting with clunky software just to do your job. EXPAND This isn't a document controller job pretending to be something else. It's a hybrid role split between document management; organizing, logging, and storing files so people can actually find them and supporting a director who's perpetually out of the office. You'll be the person who keeps the machine running, which means variety, responsibility, and real visibility. The team here has been together for years, which translates to stability, no constant restructuring, and people who know how to work together. Central London location, no commute lottery. And they've kept things simple: no byzantine software systems, no baroque processes. You'll spend your time solving real problems, not fighting platforms. BENEFITS The hybrid nature of the role means you're never bored. One day you're creating a filing system that actually works; the next you're managing a director's schedule or handling correspondence that matters. So what? Which means you develop broader business skills, not narrow technical depth. That makes you more valuable in the job market and more interesting to yourself. The team's longevity suggests they've cracked something most offices haven't, how to keep good people. Which means your working environment won't be chaotic or soul-destroying. You'll spend eight hours somewhere people actually like each other, and that's not trivial. The location is Central London with no hybrid option, so what? Which means no ambiguity about where you work, no Zoom fatigue, and genuine human contact with colleagues who've chosen to stay put. HONEST DETAIL This is office-based, five days a week, no flexibility. The business operates that way because the director needs on-site support and document management requires presence. It's not fashionable, but it's honest. COMPANY Our client is a stable, established business that's been operating for years. They value reliability and straightforward execution over trends. REQUIREMENTS Experience managing documents and filing systems. Proficiency with Microsoft Office. Ability to prioritize competing demands without supervision.

You've probably been told admin is behind-the-scenes. This team thinks differently. THE EXPAND This isn't a job where you disappear into spreadsheets. You'll be the first face visitors see. You'll manage the office rhythm; from petty cash to courier logistics, from setting up monthly team meetings to keeping the kitchen stocked and the space sharp. But the role goes deeper: you'll help build the systems and procedures that will scale as the business grows, and you'll own their team events and support their marketing with social media and creative work. Your bosses want someone comfortable moving between strategic thinking and tactical execution, someone who sees inefficiency and fixes it. The team is close, professional but genuinely social; monthly beers and pizza, annual events where people actually show up because they want to, and they're explicit: personality fit matters more than a perfect CV. BENEFITS You'll work somewhere that trusts you to own your space. Which means no micromanagement, no being watched. Which means real autonomy and the chance to shape how things run from day one. You'll have input on systems and processes as the business develops, so your ideas actually land. Which means you're not just executing someone else's vision; you're building something. You'll also join a team that values balance; 25 days holiday plus your birthday off, Scottish Widows pension, life assurance, GP access. Which means the business is thinking about your whole life, not just the hours you're in the office. THE HONEST DETAIL This role is office-based, five days a week. There's no work-from-home option. The team needs someone present, visible, holding the space together. That's non-negotiable for them, and fair to flag upfront. THE COMPANY Our client is a construction business in the pre-construction and fit-out space. They work with contractors and clients on complex projects, and they're at the stage where culture and systems matter as much as delivery. They're growing deliberately, not frantically. REQUIREMENTS One or more years in office management, administration, or coordination. Basic competence with social media, marketing tools, or design software (InDesign, Canva, etc.) is a bonus, not essential. Genuine interest in how systems work and a willingness to help build them. THE ASK If this sounds like your kind of place, get in touch with Colleen Murray: method . Tell her what draws you to it, no formal application needed yet, just a conversation. We're quality over quantity, which means we only want to hear from people who actually see themselves here.
