Filing Clerk
Explanation:
Filing Clerk is EN-GB. The EN-US term is File Clerk.
"As a file clerk, you're responsible for maintaining files containing a variety of correspondence and records in a general office environment. You may create files, retrieve records, and place new data in existing files. You can expect to code materials to be filed, utilizing existing filing systems or creating new ones. You might locate information for other employees, and keep track of records that are removed from a filing system.

Your duties could also include opening and sorting mail, archiving files and inspecting the condition of stored documents. You might need to operate basic office equipment, such as scanners, printers and fax machines. Some companies may require you to perform general administrative duties, such as answering phones, covering a front desk, greeting guests or making photocopies."
