You'll gain valuable exposure to senior stakeholders while playing a key role in ensuring the smooth running of senior leadership activities.

With structured development and the opportunity to complete a Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship, this role offers a clear pathway to progress into an Executive Assistant position.

In addition, you will manage expense processing and tracking, maintain accurate filing systems and records, and support general administrative activities such as document management, scanning, and photocopying. You will liaise confidently with internal and external stakeholders, providing a professional and timely service, while supporting ad hoc tasks and projects as required. A proactive approach and attention to detail will be essential in helping the Executive Assistant team operate effectively.
