Our team supports the Executive Leadership Team, Assistant Directors, Leader, Cabinet Members, the Chairman of the Council and the Lord-Lieutenant of Northamptonshire. We also lead on support to the Northamptonshire Armed Forces Covenant Partnership Board.

We are a multifaceted team, built from a wide range of experiences and expertise. Each member of the team brings something different to the table, and our team is a place where diversity is celebrated and encouraged.

The role is offered on a part-flexible basis, which means that you will spend at least 3 days a week working from our main office at One Angel Square in Northampton, with a couple of days spent working from home.

What will you be doing?
As a Personal Assistant to the Senior Leadership Team, you will manage and maintain positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders, providing a key enabling service which allows our leadership colleagues to function at their highest capacity and capability. You will provide an efficient service, remaining quick and calm under pressure and equipped with the confidence and knowledge to act on matters affecting the highest level of local governance.

- Assisting with the delivery of a range of projects
- Being proactive in organising conferences/events and understanding the support required
- Working as a team to ensure the needs of senior officers and members are met

We need bright and dedicated individuals, passionate about working towards making a positive difference for their local community. You will be highly organised, capable of managing conflicting tasks and have a sharp attention to detail.

You will show resilience and the ability to work in a pressurised environment. Your ability to build strong and positive relationships with colleagues at all levels in the authority will characterise your attitude towards work. You will bring new and innovative ways of working to the table, embrace change and continually evolve.

You may not have experience in an administrative role, or have experience in the public sector, but you will be able to demonstrate your ambition to learn and will be driven by your attitude to deliver an exceptional service.
