No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re looking for someone with significant relevant administrative experience, excellent organisational and communication skills, sound judgement and strong attention to detail. You’ll be confident managing competing priorities and handling sensitive information with tact and discretion. Experience of committee servicing and an awareness of legislation affecting UK public bodies, including Freedom of Information, are also important.
