Job description

Overview

At Moorhouse, you can make a difference!

As we continue to grow as a firm, our principles and values remain at the forefront of everything we do. All our clients are FTSE 100 / 250 companies or major government departments, and we work with them on their most complex, high-profile transformation programmes.

Our people are some of the best management consultants you will have the opportunity to work with. What stands them apart is the genuine realisation that we can all excel, grow and develop our careers in Moorhouse together. Our relentless focus on maintaining a high quality bar when it comes to recruitment has been instrumental in differentiating us from our clients and is key to our continued growth and success as a firm.

We recognise that you need to choose us, just as much as we need to want you. Whilst we are excited by the opportunity to recruit a new member of the Business Support team to play such an instrumental role in supporting the business, we need someone who is equally excited by this opportunity.

Responsibilities

This role is essential in supporting our Partners and Directors, helping them perform effectively. You will be responsible for assisting 6 to 8 Directors and Partners while working within a collaborative team environment. You’ll also work closely with other assistants to ensure seamless, high-level support.

Your duties will include:

• Provide comprehensive diary management, managing responses and anticipating needs, knowing where the Senior Leadership Team need to be and when.
• Booking client meetings and lunches both externally and in-house.
• Ability to build relationships at all levels, both internally and externally and have strong communication skills.
• Meet and greet all visitors to Moorhouse and inform the member of staff who is hosting them.
• Coordinate travel/hotel arrangements & create detailed itineraries.
• Submitting expenses for the Partners.
• Assisting with the coordination of team events.
• Document editing, binding, and producing packs.
• Meeting preparation, managing the online room booking system and provision of refreshments.
• Covering for the EA and other PAs when needed.
• Ordering catering and managing suppliers for relevant events.
• Assisting ad-hoc with onsite events.
• Supporting internal projects and initiatives that are key to the continued growth and success of the firm.
• Being a key part of making Moorhouse a successful and fun working environment.
• Maintaining a strong working relationship with other Business Support Team departments.
• Contribute to a culture of sustainability and embrace Moorhouse’s social responsibility by integrating responsible practices and upholding ethical standards and awareness in everyday work.

The successful candidate must also be able to evidence:

• Exceptional organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders.
• At least 3 years experience of working as a PA/ in a professional office environment.
• Proven experience supporting multiple diaries.
• Successful problem-solving and decision making.
• Excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and Teams).

Please only apply for this role if you are available to start immediately.

Essential skills

• Ability to plan and schedule their workload, deal with several tasks at once, and cope well under pressure.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Exceptional communication skills – ability to express yourself clearly and succinctly in both verbal and written communications.
• Confident, friendly, approachable to develop good relationships with colleagues at all levels.
• Flexible and positive attitude, willing to do what is necessary to get things done.
• Self-starter with exceptional work ethic and can-do attitude.

Our behaviours and culture are deeply rooted in our values:

• Integrity and accountability: We will do what we say and do it well.
• Collaboration: How we do things is as important as what we do, so our approach is always collaborative whether working alongside our clients or together as a firm.
• Sense of humour and perspective: We take our work seriously but not ourselves.
• Positive pragmatism: Anything is possible, but not everything is sensible.

These values apply to everyone. They come to life through the running of Moorhouse, and it is essential that the successful candidate can embrace the values and lead by example.

Benefits

• You will receive a base salary of £45,000 plus a discretionary bonus.
• 25 days paid holiday, plus five days’ unpaid holiday. For every year of service, one unpaid day becomes a paid day. There is also an opportunity to buy or sell up to five days’ annual leave per year.
• Life Assurance.
• Private Medical Insurance.
• Group Personal Pension Scheme.
• A range of discounted lifestyle and well-being benefits through Perkbox.

Our offices are based by Liverpool Street in central London.
