We need a motivated and enthusiastic individual, able to build internal and external relationships, and who has a keen eye for detail.

You should be an excellent communicator, and your writing skills in particular should be of a very high standard. We need someone who is organised; able to manage and work well under pressure; and who can prioritise their workload and that of a staff member.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
It is expected that you will be highly competent in working with digital systems, including Word, Teams, Excel, Outlook and Copilot and you should be educated to a minimum of Degree level, or be able to demonstrate equivalent experience.
The postholder will have management responsibility for one member of staff.
