Are you a master of organisation with a sharp eye for detail and a calm approach under pressure?

We're looking for a highly capable Personal Assistant to support our Managing Director in a fast-paced environment. This pivotal role requires exceptional judgment, absolute discretion, and the ability to manage sensitive communications with professionalism and tact.

You will be confident in handling complex schedules and high-level communications, whilst always maintaining confidentiality.

Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with a proactive, solution-focused mindset.
