The Conservative Party is seeking to appoint an exceptional Personal Operations Assistant to the Leader of the Official Opposition.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a busy office supporting a senior political figure. As a Personal Ops Assistant, you'll provide day-to-day assistance and organisational support, helping to ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
The role offers a varied workload, from managing tasks and correspondence to assisting at events and supporting day-to-day priorities. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being organised, proactive, and focused on delivering high-quality support with discretion and professionalism.
You'll work closely with an experienced and supportive team, gaining exposure to a wide range of responsibilities and developing valuable skills in organisation, communication, and relationship management. Attention to detail, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn are essential, as no two days are the same. Politics does not operate on a typical 9-to-5/Monday-to-Friday schedule, and this position requires a flexible and responsive approach to meet the everyday demands of this fast-paced environment. This is primarily an office-based role in Westminster, Central London.
