Description

Put simply, we set the standards by which everything is measured.

In doing so, the National Physical Laboratory is helping to combat issues on a global scale such as climate change, curing diseases and the development of cutting-edge communications technology.

In what is an exciting period of change, our Transformation, Estates and Information teams need the highest quality support to allow them to deliver our ambitions.

As a Senior Assistant, you'll tackle the more complex tasks to provide a high quality, personal administrative service to our managers.

At NPL, we touch ordinary lives in extraordinary ways and you could too.

We are now working in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working.

We strive to offer a great work life balance - if you are looking for full time, part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where business possible.

You're a highly competent senior assistant, with experience of handing multiple stakeholders. Always positive and unquestionably organised, you're both proactive and reactive, able to juggle often conflicting priorities diplomatically. Exceptional Microsoft Office skills are essential, as is the ability to forge good relationships at all levels. Beyond that, we're looking for someone who'll thrive in an environment like ours. At NPL, we learn from each other, respect each other and work together to do better. For ourselves and for our customers.

And whilst we're always looking to stretch beyond what we know, we don't make things more complicated when there's no need.

We're transforming.

As a national laboratory, we're exploring even more commercial routes to market and that's presenting us with greater opportunity - for you and us.

Our success relies on the diversity and talent of our people, we strive to nurture and respect individuals to ensure everyone feels valued and supported to excel in their chosen field.

This value is at the core of our organisation.

We believe in a culture of fairness by treating everyone on the basis of their own individual merits and abilities regardless of their own or perceived identity, background or any other factor irrelevant to a person's work.

At NPL we are committed to the health and well-being of our employees.

Flexible working and social activities are embedded in our culture to create a positive work-life balance, along with a broad range of benefits.

NPL's values are at the heart of what we do and they shape the way we interact, develop our people and celebrate success.

As part of our commitment to diversity & inclusion, we signed up to the Institute of Physics' Project Juno in 2015 as a Juno Supporter.

NPL were proud to be awarded Juno Practitioner status in 2018.

NPL also joined Stonewall as a Diversity champion in 2015, participating in their annual Workplace Equality Index for the equality of LGBT+ community at NPL.

In 2018, NPL became a member of the Business Disability Forum and joined the disability confident scheme as level 1 committed employer.

To ensure everyone has an equal chance, we're always willing to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process. If you would like to discuss, please contact us.
