Reporting to this dynamic, positive and high energy individual who oversees the HR and Operational functions of the business, the role will be varied, engaging and providing full oversight of the business.

You will be able to demonstrate initiative and enjoy working collaboratively as part of a wider team.

Key responsibilities will include meeting management and workload organization, accurate minute taking, maintenance of action logs, complex and confidential diary management and significant reporting. You will be proactive and provide seamless support to manage business schedules and tasks, acting as a strong gatekeeper at all times to the Director.

There are many internal events and employee engagement and Learning & Development activities to organize, and the PA will be expected to offer input on ideas for this, alongside the actual implementation. There will be representation of the business in a professional, formal but understanding way to ensure strong relationship development with all stakeholders, business partners and employees at all levels.

We are seeking a candidate who is seeking to progress within their career and develop within this robust structure, offering excellent growth potential. Ideally candidates will be native English speakers and possess a strong academic background with excellent IT and AI skills.
