• Identify training needs and work with the Learning and Development team to deliver relevant training to the PA population.


Resource and workflow management

• Take ownership of day-to-day management of PAs in departments without appointed Team Leaders.

• Meet regularly with Partners and HR to discuss resourcing needs and allocations, and to suggest efficient solutions.

• Support recruitment campaigns by interviewing candidates and proactively identifying internal solutions, wherever possible.

• A proven ability to build relationships and influence senior management.

• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build and maintain credible, effective working relationships.
