You’ll support the executive across both business and personal administrative responsibilities, helping to keep their schedule, inbox, business interests, and day-to-day organisation running smoothly. The role will initially be 20 hours per week, with the potential to increase to full-time as the relationship develops and the business’s needs grow.

The Ideal Candidate:
We're looking for someone who can become a trusted right hand to the executive.
You should be naturally organised, highly dependable, and someone who doesn't wait to be told
what needs doing. You'll need to be comfortable switching between business administration,
personal organisation, travel arrangements, property-related tasks, and ad-hoc requests
throughout the day.
The successful candidate will have excellent judgement, strong attention to detail, and the ability
to anticipate what the executive needs next.
