For over 50 years, Cooks Blinds and Shutters have been renowned across East Anglia for providing excellent customer service and high-quality products. You don’t stay in business as long as that without an excellent team of dedicated and highly skilled staff. But everyone has to start somewhere, and that’s why we have always invested in young people by hiring apprentices that can earn while they learn the skills they’ll need to excel in their careers.

• Supporting and engaging with different parts of the organisation and interacting with internal or external customers.

• Using IT packages and systems including Microsoft Office to write letters, emails and proposals, as well as record and analyse data.
• Updating and reviewing databases, ensuring information is recorded accurately.
• Drafting correspondence, writing reports and inputting/reviewing work.
• Maintaining records and files, whilst handling confidential information in compliance with organisational procedures and data protection.
• Maintaining positive relationships within the team and across the organisation, promoting collaborative working.
• Communicating with internal and external customers, either in person, on the telephone, in writing or on digital platforms.
• Assisting with queries from inside and outside the organisation, whilst representing the organisation.
• Reviewing processes and providing suggestions for improvements, sharing administrative best-practice across the organisation.
• Managing work priorities and time to meet deadlines and complete tasks effectively, whilst managing expectations.
