Dive into a world of opportunity and join our team!
You’ll provide high-quality, consistent administrative and organizational support across the Quality Environment & Assurance Directorate, with a particular focus on senior leader support, stakeholder coordination, and day-to-day operational smoothness. The role covers proactive diary and inbox management, forward planning, meeting logistics, action tracking, and support for directorate-wide events.
A key part of the remit is information and correspondence management, including shared mailbox triage for regulatory and stakeholder communications, plus structured minute-taking and action logging for technical and regulatory forums. You’ll also lead on purchasing and cost-control admin, and own the Directorate’s Lighthouse site and document governance, ensuring content is accurate, controlled and compliant (including H&S and GDPR).
Key Responsibilities
- Provide proactive diary, inbox and administrative support to SLT members; plan and coordinate PDRs, 1:1s, team meetings and associated actions.
- Arrange meeting logistics (rooms/tech/refreshments/guests), prepare agendas, capture minutes and maintain action logs.
- Triage and track incoming regulatory/stakeholder correspondence in shared mailboxes, coordinating responses and deadlines.
- Oversee purchasing processes (raising orders, Barclaycard payments, GRNs, vendor set-up) and administer CATs timesheets.
- Own and maintain the QE&A Lighthouse site, document libraries and templates; ensure version control, naming, and GDPR-compliant storage.
- Champion the “Safer Every Day” agenda: complete H&S inductions/audits, monitor Working Time compliance, and report near misses.
