We're NIMO (NI Maritime & Offshore Ltd.)
A small but growing organisation working to develop and promote Northern Ireland's maritime and offshore sectors. We're looking for a part-time Personal Assistant to be the right hand to our Executive Director and a key part of how NIMO operates.
This is a hands-on, varied role where no two weeks look quite the same. You'll keep the Executive Director organised, manage communications, contribute to reports and briefings, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks. If you're the person who spots what needs doing before anyone else does, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll do...
Executive & PA Support
- Manage the Executive Director's diary, schedule meetings, and handle travel arrangements
- Prepare correspondence, briefing notes, and documents on their behalf
- Handle incoming calls, emails, and queries - triaging what needs attention and when
- Take minutes at meetings and follow up on actions
Reporting & Communications
- Contribute to the drafting and formatting of reports, board papers, and funding updates
- Compile data and information from across the organisation to support performance reporting
- Help prepare presentations, briefing documents, and stakeholder communications
- Maintain mailing lists and support regular external communications
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Grant Experience (Desirable, not essential)

- Assist with the administration of grant claims and financial returns
- Help maintain accurate records and support compliance and audit readiness
- Liaise with funders and partner organisations as required

- Confident communicator, both written and verbal
