Job description

We’re recruiting an experienced and highly capable Executive Assistant / PA for a senior-level part-time opportunity based in Hexham.

This isn’t simply a diary-management position. We’re looking for someone with the judgement, confidence and exceptional organisational ability to become a trusted source of support within a busy senior executive environment.

A significant part of the role will involve coordinating complex international travel, producing exceptionally detailed itineraries covering flights, hotels, transfers, collection points, timings and locations.

You’ll also need to be comfortable dealing directly with senior internal and external stakeholders, handling confidential information and being brought into senior meetings at short notice when required.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous PA, EA or senior administrative experience.
• Exceptional organisation and attention to detail.
• Experience arranging complex international travel.
• Confidence dealing with senior stakeholders.
• Excellent judgement and prioritisation skills.
• High levels of discretion and confidentiality.
• A polished, articulate and professional approach.
• Ability to work autonomously and anticipate requirements.
• Confidence working with different personalities and competing priorities.

The role is 24 hours across three days per week. Tuesday and Thursday are required office-based days, with flexibility around the third working day.

Salary: £31,200 per annum for 24 hours per week (£52,000 FTE / £25 per hour), with some flexibility for an exceptional candidate.

There is also potential for the position to develop and grow over time.

This could be an excellent opportunity for an experienced Executive Assistant or PA who wants to retain the responsibility and exposure of a senior-level role while working on a part-time basis.
