Job description

Nottingham-based | Junior Role | Career Accelerator + Bonus

We’re looking for a bright, organised and proactive Junior Personal Assistant to support our CEO, Roheel, in a fast-paced, growing business.

This is an early-career role and a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn how a CEO operates day-to-day, gain exposure to different areas of a business, and build strong organisational and coordination skills.

You don’t need previous PA experience. What matters most is attitude, organisation, confidence, and a willingness to learn.

About Us

Forsyth Barnes is one of Europe’s fastest-growing recruitment businesses, recognised by the Financial Times, with offices in Nottingham, London, New York and Dubai.

We partner with leading E-commerce, FinTech, Sports & Entertainment brands, supporting senior to C-suite hiring across high-growth organisations.

We’re ambitious, energetic and fast-moving, and we look for people who want to grow with us.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage diary & inbox: Schedule meetings, book travel, take notes, and track follow-ups.
• Coordinate tasks & meetings: Keep action lists, deadlines, and priorities organised.
• Administrative support: Prepare documents, presentations, and basic research.
• Client & event assistance: Help with meeting coordination, proposals, and event scheduling.
• Support CEO’s brand: Draft simple content and assist with social or event planning.
• Learn & observe: Gain hands‑on experience and insight into leadership and business operations.

This role is about supporting, learning, and developing, not leading strategy or managing senior leaders.

What’s in it for you?

• Direct exposure to a CEO and global business operations
• Clear development and progression opportunities
• Mentoring and hands‑on training
• Sociable, close-knit office culture
• Bonus potential and unique experiences
