Directly supporting a Managing Director, the main remit of this role will include providing daily diary management, with the awareness that plans can change significantly at potential very short notice, as well as travel, accommodation, and expenses. As a PA you'll also be responsible for the MD's administration which includes compiling and preparing reports, attending meetings and taking minutes, creating presentations and managing correspondence.

The role will be based at our Chester office but will require travel to the Bangor office (eligible for expenses) so a driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential. The role offers the flexibility to work from home at times.

You’ll be working with a very busy area of the Watkin Jones business where you’ll be sharing learning and good practice with colleagues to drive continuous improvement so strong communications skills (written and verbal) are essential. You will need to be an excellent team player and flexible to the needs of the business with a high level of IT literacy. It’s important that you have the drive to succeed and finish tasks and can adapt your communication style dependant on the audience.

We have an in-house Learning & Development team to support you with personal and professional development including vocational qualifications, as well as, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing after 2 years’ service by 1 day up to a max of 29 days per annum),a discretionary bonus, life insurance, a healthcare cash plan, discounted gym memberships, exclusive shopping discounts and a contributory pension scheme.
