Are you looking to build a real career — not just take another job?

At Advanced Secure Technologies, we’re a Cardiff-based technology company on a mission to protect organisations from document fraud. Our secure digital solutions support customers across the legal, financial, and education sectors — helping them reduce risk and operate with confidence.

We’re looking for someone ambitious, reliable, and ready to grow. This is an entry-level Operations role designed as a genuine career starting point within our Business Support team; where you’ll gain hands-on experience in secure print operations, stock control, compliance, and office administration.

After 6 months, you’ll have the opportunity to begin a structured, fully supported apprenticeship pathway with paid training time (circa 1/2 day per week for parts of the year). You’ll earn while working towards recognised qualifications in Digital Support, Project Management, Regulatory Compliance or other related learning — giving you clear long-term progression options.

If you’re prepared to put the work in, we’re prepared to invest in you.

## Requirements

### What you’ll do

You’ll mainly be supporting our Secure Printing Operation day to day — helping ensure certificates are produced, checked, and delivered accurately and securely.

Your responsibilities will include:

-   Preparing, processing, and quality-checking secure print runs
-   Packaging and dispatching certificates using courier and shipping portals
-   Tracking job schedules to help meet customer deadlines
-   Monitoring stock levels and recording usage of secure materials
-   Maintaining production logs and operational records
-   Escalating technical or production issues where needed

You’ll also support general office administration, including:

-   Filing and maintaining documentation
-   Assisting with deliveries and consumable orders
-   Helping keep shared office and kitchen areas organised

It’s a varied, hands-on role where accuracy, organisation, and teamwork matter every day.

### What you bring

We care more about your mindset than your job history.

You’ll likely be someone who:

-   Is reliable and takes pride in getting things right
-   Has incredible attention to detail
-   Is organised and comfortable following clear processes
-   Is practical and happy to roll up your sleeves
-   Has basic IT confidence (Microsoft Office)
-   Communicates well and works positively in a team

Most importantly, you’re motivated to build a career — not just earn a salary. You’re willing to learn, take feedback, and grow with the business.

Experience in admin, hospitality, retail, fulfilment, or another fast-paced environment is a bonus — but attitude and work ethic matter most. An interest in technology will be a big help.

### Bonus points for

Experience using spreadsheets, shipping portals, or inventory systems.  
An interest in operations, logistics, compliance, or project management.  
An admin or business-related qualification.
