Full job description

About the role

We're looking for an Executive Assistant to be the Director's right hand and help keep the office running smoothly. It's a varied role: diary and travel one minute, property paperwork or a recruitment call the next, and everything in between. It suits someone who likes having a hand in everything, takes pride in staying a step ahead, and enjoys being the person who holds it all together.

You'll manage your own workload, use your judgement and pick things up before they're asked for. There's a fair amount of phone work as well, so you'll need to be confident making calls and comfortable being a first point of contact for the business.

What you'll be doing

Acting as the Director's right hand: managing the diary, booking appointments and making sure they're prepared for the day ahead
Arranging meetings, travel and accommodation, and pulling together detailed itineraries
Looking after the post, keeping the mail register up to date, and handling email responses on the Director's behalf as needed
Being a first point of contact on the phone and by email, for people inside and outside the business, including international contacts
Supporting property matters: documentation, appointments, records and coordination
Coordinating recruitment: calling candidates, setting up interviews and keeping everyone in the loop
Preparing, formatting and proofreading documents, reports and letters
Minuting meetings and following up on what was agreed
Keeping the office stocked and running smoothly, from ordering supplies to restocking the perishables
Turning your hand to general admin and the occasional project when the team needs support

What we're looking for

A confident telephone manner, comfortable making calls and following things up
Highly organised, with an eye for detail and a calm way of juggling competing priorities
A self-starter who manages their own workload and can be trusted to use their judgement
Discreet and trustworthy, particularly with sensitive information
A polished, accurate writer
Capable with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office
Unflappable under pressure, and quick to reshuffle when priorities shift

A few things that would be a bonus, but aren't essential:

An interest in the energy or sustainability sector
Experience supporting a senior leader, or more than one person at once

Experience

Experience as an EA or PA to a Director, or an equivalent role, is preferred, though it isn't essential if you've got the right approach. What matters most is that you're organised, switched on and happy to take ownership.

Why you'll like working here

There's real variety here, with no two weeks quite the same, and plenty of scope to make the role your own over time. We're a friendly, down-to-earth team.

A varied workload, with plenty of variety from one day to the next
Company pension
Free on-site parking

How to apply

To apply, please provide your CV, a clear email address and telephone number, and a short note about yourself before 30 June 2026. Self-formatted CVs are preferred to Indeed CVs.

We'd love to hear from you!

Pay: Up to £30,000.00 per year
