• Reviewing inboxes, prioritising communications, and ensuring follow-up actions are delivered.
• Processing expenses, raising purchase orders, and tracking elements of department budgets.
• Partnering with the wider PA/EA community to provide seamless cover and contribute to continuous improvement across the function.

You’ll bring proven experience in an administrative or PA role, ideally supporting senior leaders, and you’ll be known for your ability to juggle multiple priorities without missing a detail. We’re looking for someone who is:

• Exceptionally organised with strong diary management skills and the ability to stay one step ahead.
• Comfortable in coordinating or managing internal events
• A confident communicator, able to deal professionally with stakeholders at all levels both internally and externally.
• Tech-savvy, with practical experience of MS Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and a willingness to learn new systems quickly.

• A collaborative team player who values confidentiality, accuracy, and discretion.
• Flexible and adaptable, comfortable in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
