Your new company
Our client is highly regarded for its supportive management, diverse and inclusive workplace culture, and extensive learning opportunities. Employees appreciate the rewarding nature of their roles, especially in making a positive impact on people's lives, and the company offers ample room for personal and professional growth, with ongoing training and a positive culture. They have some lovely staff testimonials on their website!
As a result of their continued success and growth, the CEO and Operations Director have realised they need some additional support in the form of an Executive Assistant in Peterborough....and that's where we come in.
Your new role
Your job will be to support the Director of Operations, working very closely with them, as well as being EA to the CEO. This includes all the usual tasks you would expect....
- General admin assistance - email correspondence, drafting letters, internal communications etc
- Complex diary management
- Travel arrangements
- Expense submissions on behalf of the SLT
- Production of executive reports & presentations
- Project tracking and reporting
- Organising and minuting board meetings
- Organising team events
- Some personal work/support
You'll travel with the Operations Director to the London head office for meetings approximately once a week (they will drive, or you can drive or take the train and the company will pay for your expenses).
There may be the occasional need to provide exec support outside traditional office hours, but not regularly or for extended periods, but as an experienced EA, you'll already know that this is to be expected.
What you'll need to succeed
We're only able to consider applications from experienced EA/PA jobseekers, used to providing 1 to 1 support to C Suite executives.
You'll be used to handling sensitive commercial information as well as personal data and will be comfortable doing so with discretion and professionalism. Of course, you'll have fantastic attention to detail and exceptional prioritising and time management skills.
You'll need to be confident using Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel (and it would be fantastic if you have an idea or experience of pivot tables and macros but, of course, that can easily be taught)
What you'll get in return
In return for your hard work and commitment, this job will give you a tremendous sense of satisfaction as you play a pivotal part in the successful management of an organisation that provides an essential service and care to its service users that they can't get elsewhere.
Let's be blunt, it's a market-leading salary that is in line with the level of expectation and responsibility that the role has and there's a very good holiday allowance too.
