Job Title
Love organizing, coordinating meetings, and making sure nothing slips through the net? We're looking for a highly organized Personal Assistant to provide key business support to our regional leadership team in a flexible, hybrid working role.
As a Personal Assistant, you'll provide vital business support to the Regional Managing Director, Regional Director, and wider Leadership Team. You'll be at the heart of the region, helping to keep everything running smoothly through proactive organization, diary management, meeting coordination, event planning, and administrative support.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being one step ahead, building strong relationships, and ensuring nothing slips through the net.
This is a part-time role working 25 hours per week, Monday to Friday, typically between 09:00 and 15:00. We can offer flexibility around start and finish times to support a healthy work-life balance. We offer a hybrid working arrangement, with the flexibility to work remotely where appropriate.
While the role is focused on supporting the Regional Managing Director, Regional Director, and wider Leadership Team, there will be occasional travel to regional meetings and events across the region, with the potential for overnight stays when required.
What You'll Be Doing
- Provide comprehensive day-to-day support to the Regional Managing Director, Regional Director, and Senior Leadership Team.
- Manage complex diaries, coordinate meetings, arrange travel and accommodation, and ensure priorities are effectively scheduled and organized.
- Take ownership of inbox management, expenses, business mileage, and other administrative activities, ensuring nothing slips through the net.
- Coordinate regional meetings, leadership events, and customer hospitality activities, including preparing professional PowerPoint presentations and meeting materials.
- Collate information and reports to support departmental activities, ensuring leaders have the information they need to make informed decisions.
- Act as a key point of contact across the business, building strong relationships and directing colleagues to the right information, processes, and contacts.
- Support onboarding activities for new starters, including arranging IT equipment, mobile phones, and corporate workwear.
- Manage departmental invoices, hospitality records, and payment processes while maintaining accurate records to support audit requirements.
- Maintain departmental reporting, including headcount, safety, and operational reports.
- Handle confidential information with professionalism, discretion, and integrity at all times.
