Administrative Assistant North Shields, England
Job description
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (PART TIME 20 HOURS A WEEK)
ABOUT US
Created in 2013, USAsports has continued to grow, moving from strength to strength. In 2023, the business moved out of its Wallsend warehouse and into new office and warehouse accommodations in North Shields—back to our roots. The new units provide a platform for further growth and an environment for our staff to be creative and play a key role in helping the business continue its growth journey. In 2013, C.E.O. Jaimie Longmuir was the only employee of the business, performing all roles including marketing, buying, events, and dispatching from a spare bedroom and shed. We now employ brilliantly talented permanent staff members as well as temporary event staff, and we continue to grow our team as the business grows.
As an organisation, we are driven by our values and purpose. We aim to create a global community, for fans by fans, and our values are crucial in everything we do as we look to achieve this purpose:
Celebrate Every Victory - Big or small, newspaper worthy or not. There are victories in every game and in every event if we are looking for them. Don’t let them get overlooked as we grow and evolve. Sometimes those small victories are what keep us going and keep our team motivated.
Dare to Be Brave - We are entrepreneurial, passionate, and agile. We push forward and strive to exceed expectations and keep doing things differently and better. At USA Sports, we don’t sit still, we’re always looking for the next opportunity to unite fans together.
Celebrate Our Differences - Our fans are different. They aren’t afraid to stand out from the crowd and follow a different path. Being part of the USA Sports team means being authentic and giving people the space and support to be themselves.
Look Out For the Underdog - We’re not just here for the big players or the A team. We’re here for every fan, every step of the way. As a team we support each other when we’re winning, but we’re there to pick each other up on the days when things don’t go our way too.
We look out for each other, and in turn our community looks out for us.
As an employee with USAsports you will be expected to live these values and keep them at the forefront of everything you do within the organisation. As an administrative assistant, you will become a crucial member of the team and the day-to-day running of the organisation.
