We’re looking for a PA to the Executive Team to provide trusted, high-quality secretarial, organisational and administrative support to our Executive Team.

You’ll work with senior leaders, Board members, colleagues, suppliers and external stakeholders, so confidence, professionalism and excellent communication skills are essential.

• Car leasing scheme
• Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

What you’ll be doing……

• Manage and coordinate complex Executive diaries, making sure internal and external meetings and appointments are organised and diary clashes are avoided
• Maintain schedules for Board and Executive Management meetings
• Prepare documents, briefing papers, reports and presentations to a high standard
