Personal Assistant

Not your average PA role, nor a typical business.

You’ll be joining a rapidly growing professional services firm whose work is at the heart of society, in a role that has come about through promotion.

While the company has a number of PAs and Executive Assistants at their head office in London, yours will be the first to support their Bristol office.

They are a business who thrives on diversity and inclusion, with many different lived experiences contributing to their growth and success.

You will support a team of Director-level fee earners, enabling them in their work, by easing their admin burden. It’s their diversity of work and communication styles that will need a nimble hand to assist them.

While also working as part of a close-knit business support team of PA and EAs across a varied workload. They are friendly and supportive, who will want to make sure you get up to speed suitably.

You already know the role of a PA, so I won’t trouble you with a list of responsibilities you could write yourself – it’s the context and challenge that define this opportunity. A full job description is available (contact me on the details below).

While this is a busy role, it’s achievable in normal hours. They are recruiting other roles to ensure their work is sustainable, and it will be down to you to manage your time and workload in a way that works for everyone.

About you

You are a capable Personal Assistant or Team Assistant for a group of Directors.

You’ll benefit from a role where you can continue to learn and progress. As the company keeps growing, they will look to progress their current team where possible.

You care about your work and enjoy working as part of a team who are in it together.

You are someone who thrives in the ambiguity of a scaling business, who looks for opportunities to help, and who is accountable in what you do.

If you prefer a steady structured workload, where you know what you’ll be doing day in day out, and in six months’ time, you may not find this role right for you.

Points you may be interested in

You’ll work 3 days in the office, and the remainder from home. You’ll occasionally travel to London (likely once every six weeks) to attend team and company events, with plenty of notice in advance – any travel and accommodation away from the local office will be fully paid for.

This will be a 3-stage interview process -

• 1st stage with the hiring manager on May 17th (dates will be available the following week if needed) (Teams)
• 2nd interview with the Head of Department and Chief People Officer (Teams), week commencing May 28th
• Final meeting with the team in Bristol to meet the Directors and team and ensure it’s the right move for you.
