Scottish Woodlands Ltd is a leading forestry management company with a long tradition of serving forest owners and investors in Scotland and the rest of the UK. We provide a comprehensive range of forest, estate and land-related services underpinned by our in-depth market experience, knowledge base and commitment to quality. The business is largely employee owned, and this encourages a dedication and commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and customer focus. Our aim is to understand each client’s specific objectives and then to provide a service which is both flexible and personal.
We are looking to appoint a part-time, flexible assistant, to provide administrative support to the Insurance Co-ordinator based at our Dingwall office. This is a busy and demanding role, and applicants must be confident, professional, and flexible in their approach.
Applicants should have...
excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to manage and prioritise a high‑volume administrative workload. Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel is essential. Experience and knowledge of business management systems and databases would be desirable; however, full training will be provided.
Duties will include manual and electronic filing for woodland insurance and contractor‑vetting documentation, coordinating policy scheme documents for renewal period and maintaining accurate and up‑to‑date data records for insurance customers.
Candidates should be self‑motivated with excellent attention to detail. Proven experience of working in a similar office environment is desirable, however training can be given to the right candidate. This is a part‑time position of 14 hours per week, and we are happy to tailor the working pattern to suit the successful candidate. We are also seeking someone who can be flexible during peak periods of the work programme, when additional hours may be required. Please note, this position may also be suitable for a zero-hour worker (the benefits offered would differ for a zero-hour position, more information available via HR department).
