Support the Directors in creating an inclusive, friendly and safe environment for
their teams.

Proven ability to work effectively with others in a proactive manner and/or delivering an efficient customer service
Proven experience in confidently using Office 365, including Teams, Excel, PowerPoint and One Note
To demonstrate extensive diary management experience and be confident organising meetings, taking notes, preparing presentations and co-ordinating events
