  • Preparation of relevant documents for meetings including support with writing papers and preparing presentations
  • Dealing with routine administration, post and enquiries via email and telephone, filtering where necessary and dealing with enquiries
  • Attend meetings as required, taking minutes and following up on agreed actions
  • Provide SAP HR functional administration, including maintaining absence, holidays etc
  • Process invoices and expense claims
  • Assist with creating new starter induction schedules, ensuring user system is set up and they have equipment ready on their first day
  • Ad hoc private PA tasks for Director
