Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Office Manager role a permanent position?
The role is initially a temporary placement with a strong view to becoming permanent for the right candidate. This 'temp-to-perm' approach allows both you and the employer to assess fit before committing long-term, a model we often use for roles like Medical Receptionists.

The pay is competitive and will be based on your specific experience, qualifications, and the exact responsibilities of the role. We will discuss the specific rate (hourly or annual equivalent) in detail during your initial consultation with our consultant. We benchmark against local Dartford and Kent market rates.
How quickly could I start if I'm selected?
The client is looking for an ASAP start. The process is designed for speed. Interviews are being conducted immediately, and we can often facilitate a start within a week of a successful interview, subject to reference checks. We pride ourselves on fast placements, similar to our immediate start job services.
Do I need experience with specific software?
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) is essential. Experience with accounting software (e.g., Sage, QuickBooks) or specific industry software is a significant advantage. Please detail all relevant software skills on your CV.
Does Staffing Agency only fill office-based roles?
No, we are a full-service staffing agency. While we are recruiting for this Office Manager in Dartford DA1, we also specialise in a wide range of sectors. We successfully place candidates in roles such as an Event Security in Rotherham S60, Hotel Porter in Birmingham B2, and Dental Nurse in Doncaster DN1.
What are the career development opportunities like?
