5 months ago


Solihull, United Kingdom Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council Full time

**Are you known for your great organisation skills, problem solving and getting things done?**

**Are you ‘tech savvy’, meticulous, with an excellent attention to detail?**

**Would you like to be at the heart of delivering services that make a real difference to people’s lives?**

If so, our Leadership Support Team needs a personal assistant like you.

**About us**

The Economy and Infrastructure Directorate is one of five directorates at Solihull Council. With the other directorates focusing on the needs of Solihull people and the Council’s resources, we look after the Borough as a place and as a series of communities.

Our scope is broad - from the delivery of multi-million-pound economic growth projects, to planning the future of the Borough, to leading the climate change agenda, to managing the highways, to maintaining a quality environment, to collecting and recycling the waste, to running libraries and providing cultural opportunities, to keeping people safe and supporting communities to support themselves - and lots more

**About the role**

No two days are the same when supporting an Assistant Director. Whilst you will be managing their diary and correspondence, you will also organise and support a range of meetings, prepare briefings and presentations, support democratic processes, liaise with local politicians and senior figures from a range of organisations and work closely with colleagues across the Council, including the network of personal and executive assistants.

The role will also give you the chance to get involved in a variety of fascinating projects and events.

**About you**

You will have relevant experience of working in a personal assistant role (or similar) and have supported senior level colleagues. You will be extremely well-organised, be one step ahead, flexible and have the ability to juggle and prioritise multiple tasks.

You will have good interpersonal and communications skills, be able to maintain positive working relationships at many levels and show tact and discretion. We would like you to have great IT skills and be well versed in the use of Microsoft Office.

You will have the ability to support meetings and turn complex information into well-defined actions.

You must be comfortable with hybrid working practices as these are now in place across the business, with a combination of home working, virtual meetings and attendance at the Council’s offices.

Most of all, you will have meticulous attention to detail.

**What we offer**

In return we can not only offer you a positive supportive environment to train and develop further, but also
- a competitive salary;
- a range of flexible working options;
- generous annual leave entitlements with the opportunity to purchase up to 10-days additional leave per year;
- a flexitime scheme with up to 24 days per year;
