Administrative Assistant

Tri Cities Area, BC, Canada
Temporary
Experienced
Administrative Support Specialist
Tri-Cities, BC  |  35–40 Hours/Week  |  Temporary with Permanent Potential
Our client, a respected and deeply trusted service provider in the Tri-Cities community, is seeking a warm, organized, and detail-oriented Administrative Support Specialist to work closely alongside the business owner. This is a meaningful role within an environment that calls for professionalism, discretion, and genuine compassion — the work you do will directly support families during some of the most significant moments of their lives.
THE ROLE
This position begins as a temporary engagement, with strong potential to transition into a permanent role for the right candidate. Reporting directly to the business owner, you will be the operational backbone of the office — keeping systems running smoothly, supporting financial functions, and helping to present the organization with care and quality through its materials and communications. You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team where your contributions are seen and valued from day one.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
 
  • Providing day-to-day administrative support to the business owner, helping manage priorities and keep operations on track
  • Maintaining and improving office systems and workflows to support a high standard of client care
  • Supporting accounts payable and receivable functions using QuickBooks
  • Creating and updating client-facing materials, including brochures and informational pamphlets, using Canva and Microsoft Office
  • Working across platforms including Google Docs/Drive and the broader Microsoft Office suite
  • Welcoming and assisting clients who visit the office with warmth, patience, and sensitivity
 
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
 
  • Previous administrative or office support experience, ideally in a professional services or client-facing environment
  • Proficiency with QuickBooks (or strong willingness to learn quickly)
  • Comfortable working in Canva, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Office
  • A naturally empathetic, calm, and composed manner — you understand that the people you interact with may be going through difficult times
  • Highly organized, reliable, and able to handle sensitive information with discretion
  • Flexibility to work Saturdays during the initial onboarding period
 
WHY THIS ROLE
This is an opportunity to be part of something meaningful. For the right person, what begins as a temporary role has every potential to grow into a long-term position within a trusted community business. If you are someone who finds purpose in contributing to an environment defined by care, dignity, and respect — we’d love to hear from you.
