We're an Architectural firm called 'RDA Architects' based at 29 Lacon Road here in East Dulwich. We're a small, busy & very friendly team with a good roster of projects and, as Office Manager, I really need some help over the Summer holiday period. Ideally I'm looking to get someone in for two days a week to help out with admin work. The main tasks will involve filing and assisting me to prepare the office for a move to our new, bigger premises which will be based on Forest Hill Road in the Autumn. If you are interested then please contact as soon as possible so I can give you any further details. Kind regards Zoe Barnard

Hi Ruby, I've just seen your advert on the Forum. I'm just about to send out an advert but thought I would email you in the first instance.

I see you are an Interior Design student and apart from architecture we also do a bit of interior design so this may be something you would be interested in? I look forward to hearing from you.
