Office Manager Salaries

Office Managers play a crucial role in the smooth running of a business. Not only do they oversee the day-to-day tasks of the office, but they also ensure that everything is organised and running efficiently. 

The average salary for an Office Manager varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of the company, the industry in which it operates, and the office's location. 

Salaries can range widely for Office Managers, with some earning 25,000 pounds per annum and others earning over 80,000 pounds per annum. Factors that can impact an Office Manager's salary include their level of experience, as well as the specific duties and responsibilities they handle.

In Manchester, an Office Manager can typically expect to earn between 30,000 and 40,000 pounds per annum, depending on the role, industry and experience required. In London, an Office Manager can expect to earn 35,000 to 50,000 pounds per annum, depending on the same factors. We often find that the larger salaries will reflect a role that is for a large business or has an element of personal assistant duties too.

In addition to a competitive salary, Office Managers will often receive benefits such as private medical insurance, discretionary bonuses and more. As an Office Manager, you can expect to work regular business hours, although some overtime may be required during busy periods.
