What You'll Bring

You might already be an Executive Assistant or an experienced Personal Assistant looking to step into a role with greater exposure to senior leadership and the Board. We're open to seeing candidates at different levels - what matters most is that you're organised, switched-on, and capable of taking ownership of your work.

What's on Offer

This is a role for someone who likes people, variety and autonomy. We're looking for someone who can manage their own time, get on with the job and bring positive energy to the office.

There's also flexibility around working hours, including the possibility of 9am-3pm for the right person, making this a great opportunity for someone looking for more flexibility around their family commitments.

• Flexible salary, depending on experience
• Ellerslie-based office with parking provided
