We’re looking for an Office Administration Assistant to join our team and become an important part of the day-to-day running of the business.

This isn’t your typical office administration role. We’re a busy events business, so every day is different. You’ll be working closely with our directors and wider team, speaking with clients, helping organise events and making sure the many moving parts of the business stay organised.

The Role

As our Office Administration Assistant, you’ll help keep Boardwalk running smoothly.

Your responsibilities will include:

Responding to client enquiries by phone and email

Preparing quotes and assisting with proposals

Following up clients and helping manage bookings

Entering and maintaining event bookings and client information

Assisting with event administration and run sheets

Coordinating and booking waitstaff for events

Communicating with staff and helping keep event details organised

Ordering office, kitchen and catering supplies

Helping maintain an organised and welcoming office

General administration and data entry

Assisting with invoices, paperwork and other business administration

Assisting with social media and marketing administration

Helping coordinate meetings and office requirements

Getting involved in the wider events business where needed

General ad hoc tasks — because no two days at Boardwalk are quite the same

There will also be opportunities to work alongside our events team at catering events, including waitstaff shifts, if you’d like to get more involved in the hospitality and events side of the business.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is organised, warm, switched-on and genuinely enjoys working with people.

You’ll ideally be someone who:

Is warm, friendly and naturally helpful

Has excellent communication skills

Is highly organised and detail-oriented

Takes initiative and doesn’t always need to be asked what needs doing

Is reliable, punctual and someone the team can count on

Can stay calm and organised when things get busy

Is confident speaking with clients and representing the Boardwalk brand

Has a positive, team-focused attitude

Enjoys learning and isn’t afraid to have a go at something new

Takes pride in doing things properly

Can manage multiple priorities without losing track of the details

You don’t need to know everything. We’re much more interested in your attitude, organisation, communication and willingness to learn.

Hospitality & Events Experience Welcome

If you’ve worked in hospitality, hotels, restaurants, events or premium customer service and you’re looking to move into an office-based role, we’d particularly love to hear from you. Your understanding of service, urgency, people and what it takes to deliver a great event will be incredibly valuable at Boardwalk.

Equally, if you already have office administration experience and love working with people, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Join Boardwalk?

Boardwalk Catering is a busy, growing catering and events business based in Artarmon. We cater weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, super-yachts and everything in between across Sydney.

We’re a family-oriented, supportive team that genuinely cares about our clients, our food and each other.

We’re a small, close-knit team where you’ll actually know the people you’re working with. You’ll get exposure to all sides of a growing catering and events business, from client enquiries and administration through to event delivery.

We’re supportive, we work hard, we have a laugh and we genuinely care about doing a great job for our clients.

As Boardwalk continues to grow, there is genuine opportunity for career progression and to take on greater responsibility across administration, events, client management and operations.
