How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Atlantis really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your PA or secretarial qualification plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Atlantis.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
