Edinburgh, United Kingdom Scottish Water Full time

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
- It’s not every job where you make a difference for the people of Scotland. But it’s what’s behind every job here.
- Our work keeps Scotland’s water flowing, from source to tap - and from sink to sea.
- Do your bit by joining our team as an Executive Assistant, supporting our Director of Strategy & Regulation and our Chief Finance Officer.
- Are you a master at juggling tasks and priorities? We’re looking for the ultimate multi-tasker to excel in a dynamic role that demands exceptional organisational skills.

What you’ll do
- Detail-oriented and self-starting, you'll thrive in creating and distributing agendas, coordinating meeting materials, and dealing sensitively with various stakeholders. Your broad skill set will shine as you tackle tasks ranging from preparing presentations for executive leadership to managing team events. Building strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders will be second nature to you.
- If you're someone with excellent organisational and people skills, capable of working collaboratively or independently, and adept at identifying and initiating tasks, this role is perfect for you. Join us in a fast-paced environment where your talents will make a real impact.
- What you’ll need
- Minimum Requirements:
**Required Skills**:

- We're looking for individuals who can take the initiative and showcase customer service that goes above and beyond. Demonstrating sound judgment and making independent decisions are key attributes required for this role.
- Maintaining strict confidentiality is non-negotiable, emphasising the trust and responsibility inherent in handling sensitive information. Strong oral and written communication skills round out the ideal skill set, ensuring effective and clear interactions in various professional contexts.
- Character is important to us. Across the whole of Scottish Water, we look for people who are _Bold, Responsible, Inspiring _and_ Caring_. (And you can expect these characteristics to make an appearance in your interview with us )
- Looking out for you
- While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.

You’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.

When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.

For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), as well as life assurance.

As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.

The not-so-small print
- The salary range for this role is £24,741- £35,566 (depending on skills and experience).

Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don’t worry - we’ll ask your permission before starting these checks.

A few final things worth knowing

Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.

As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it’s important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don’t already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
