Admin jobs are available in varied contract types. These include:

• contract admin jobs: in a contract, you enjoy the flexibility of working for a fixed term. Admin contract jobs allow you to determine if working as an admin for a specific company or employer aligns with your career goals.
• permanent admin jobs: a permanent admin position is suitable for people looking for job security and stability. As permanent admin jobs are long-term positions, you work until you retire or resign.
• temporary admin jobs: in a temporary position, the duration of the contract is predetermined, and you have the flexibility to switch employers at the end of the stipulated time. It is a great opportunity to improve your skills without committing long-term to a single role or employer.
• full-time admin jobs: in a full-time position, you work for one employer within specified hours. It is great for people who love routine work. Full-time contracts can be on either a fixed, temporary or permanent contract basis.
• part time admin jobs: a part-time position is suitable for students or adults who want to work a few hours a week. You enjoy reduced work hours, presenting a greater work-life balance.

If you enjoy the flexibility of remote work or working from home, remote admin vacancies are available.
