Personal Assistant – 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Personal Assistant to join an established Executive PA Support team within the insurance and financial services sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive and highly organised PA to provide senior-level administrative and secretarial support in a fast-paced environment. This is supporting within the Chief Risk Officer's direct reports and their associated teams so experience supporting CRO would be beneficial.

The Role

You will provide high-quality support to senior stakeholders and their wider teams, ensuring the smooth and efficient running of day-to-day activities.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing complex diaries and coordinating multiple meetings
  • Arranging extensive domestic and international travel, including flights, hotels and detailed itineraries
  • Coordinating committee papers and ensuring deadlines are met
  • Preparing meeting documentation and ensuring information is distributed to relevant stakeholders
  • Managing internal and external calls and enquiries
  • Processing and recording expenses accurately and promptly
  • Maintaining holiday, sickness and absence records
  • Organising meetings, venues, catering and other logistical requirements
  • Providing cover for other PAs and EAs across the wider team
  • Handling sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and discretion
  • Proactively identifying issues and using initiative to implement effective solutions

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
