  • Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
  • Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
  • Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.

Must-haves

  • Calm when plans change at the last minute
  • Available for the odd early start or late finish
  • Excellent written English and polished emails

On offer
