pathologists' assistant

*About SAF International*

SAF International is a Sikh faith-based charitable organization working to support underprivileged communities through education, humanitarian aid, and sustainable development.

Our Sikh faith and values play an important role throughout our organization and workplace culture. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working in a faith-based environment and wants their work to contribute to something meaningful.

*About the Role*

We are looking for a reliable, organized, and tech-savvy Administrative Assistant to join our Surrey office.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys staying busy, solving problems, keeping things organized, and helping wherever needed. Like most nonprofits, our environment can be fast-paced, and priorities can change quickly. Multitasking is a normal part of the day.

You may be helping with administrative work in the morning, coordinating a delivery in the afternoon, and supporting another department with an urgent task before the day is over.

If you are looking for meaningful work and enjoy being part of a small team where your contribution matters, this may be a great fit.

*Responsibilities*

• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the office and team
• Answer and direct incoming phone calls and general inquiries
• Welcome visitors, donors, vendors, and guests to the office
• Manage incoming and outgoing mail, couriers, packages, and deliveries
• Maintain organized digital and physical records
• Assist with data entry, document preparation, scanning, and filing
• Help maintain office supplies, inventory, and general office organization
• Assist with scheduling, coordination, and follow-ups
• Support donor relations and other departments with administrative tasks when required
• Use various online platforms and software to complete day-to-day work
• Help with occasional events, campaigns, mailings, and special projects
• Conduct proofreading of correspondence, forms, and reports to ensure accuracy and clarity

*Skills*

• Be confident using computers and learning new software
• Have good written and verbal communication skills
• Pay attention to details and follow through on assigned work
• Be professional when communicating with donors, visitors, and team members
• Be willing to help outside of their regular responsibilities when needed
• Be comfortable working within a Sikh faith-based organization
• Have a positive attitude toward nonprofit and charitable work
• Be able to work independently while also being a strong team player

Experience in administration, customer service, nonprofit work, or an office environment is an asset, but we are also open to someone with the right attitude and transferable skills.

*Work Environment*

SAF International is a Sikh faith-based organization. Sikh principles, identity, and values are visible within our workplace and are an important part of our organizational culture.

We welcome applicants who are comfortable working respectfully within this environment and who connect with the idea of using their professional skills to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
