About the Role
We're excited to be looking for an

You will have excellent written and interpersonal communication skills, engendering extremely high levels of trust from the senior leaders you support and all those with whom you liaise.

You will be someone who understands the importance of good professional administrative support and who therefore takes pride in and ownership of their work, delivering tasks to a very high standard and balancing the range of duties that the role of an Executive Assistant involves.
