Office boy and girl services help workplaces organise pantry duties, document handling and routine support. This guide explains how to define a staffing brief for an office in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
An office attendant supports everyday workplace tasks such as preparing refreshments, distributing mail, photocopying documents and keeping shared areas organised. Agree the role and reporting line before assigning work.
A clear task list helps avoid confusion between office support, specialist cleaning and technical work. Specify the working hours, areas covered, language requirements and the person responsible for supervision.

Office attendant duties to discuss
- Assistance with filing, faxing and photocopying documents
- Help with organizing and tidying up the office space
- Cleaning and dusting the furniture and surfaces
- Ensuring that the office is properly stocked with office supplies
- Preparing refreshments and setting up meeting areas
- Carrying out errands outside the office
- Running errands to buy office supplies
- Helping out with mail sorting and delivery
- Referring equipment problems to the designated technical team
Pantry duties may include preparing tea and coffee, replenishing drinking water and keeping serving areas tidy. Document support can include scanning, filing and delivery between departments, subject to your confidentiality procedures.
Match the number of attendants to the office size, visitor traffic and shift pattern. A busy reception or frequent meetings may require a different schedule from a small office with occasional visitors.
When requesting a quotation, identify the number of staff, start date, working days and location. Ask the provider to explain the proposed staffing arrangement and the responsibilities included in the price.
Review office support and cleaning requirements separately. If you need wider cleaning coverage, see cleaner manpower supply in Dubai and confirm the suitable scope with Wavex.
Use the following points when preparing an office attendant task list:
- They assist in observing how supplies and equipment are used within the department.
- They are able to respond to a range of questions and concerns from clients and guests.
- They will coordinate regarding the repair and maintenance of office equipment.
- They support other employees with a variety of administrative tasks.
- They will keep a cordial working relationship with the employed workers and cooperate with the office staff.
For document handling, define who may access files and where deliveries should go. For reception support, explain how attendants should greet visitors and refer questions to the relevant employee.
List stationery and pantry stock levels, refill routines and any meeting preparation duties. Specify language needs and equipment training rather than assuming every attendant has the same skills.
Ask about staff selection, onboarding, attendance reporting and arrangements for absence. Obtain the relevant service terms and documentation before confirming the engagement.
Give the attendant a named supervisor and a practical daily checklist. Review the workload periodically so that tasks stay within the agreed role and working hours.
