**Job summary**:
As an Executive Assistant you will provide administrative support to the Home Office Chief Information Security Officer’s (CISO) who is a Senior Civil Servant (SCS) within the DDaT Directorate. This is an excellent opportunity for the post holder to gain experience working as an integral part of the private office network across DDaT, gain experience of working with senior leaders and being a visible representative for your business area’s Private Office. You will play a key role in supporting the CISO’s business area priorities whilst providing administrative support to senior managers, at a time of unprecedented technological and political change.

The role requires a high-performing and enthusiastic individual with a flexible and collaborative approach to their work. You will be someone who can work well as part of a high performing team and are equally comfortable working independently. In this role, you will be making a positive contribution to the overall success of the business area. This role suits a self-starter who can follow work through to completion with, at times, limited oversight but is able to draw on their support network when required.

Note: An employee may be required to carry out other duties within the scope of the grade and within the limits of their skill, competence and training.

Private Office roles traditionally align to the Civil Service Policy profession, however the skills required for these roles in DDaT affiliate closely with those found in the Civil Service Project Delivery Profession.

**Job description**:
Your main day to day responsibilities will be:

- Scheduling diary engagements and room bookings, providing guidance and advice on how to optimise timings. Working proactively to resolve scheduling conflicts and prioritising issues effectively to meet challenging deadlines.
- Ensuring work is commissioned out effectively, collating meeting papers and briefing information in advance of meetings to ensure the CISO/ senior leader is informed and prepared.
- Providing secretariat support on a rota basis for Board and Senior Meetings as required. Drafting accurate minutes and actions for review, ensuring they are distributed in a timely fashion and feedback is incorporated to ensure an agreed version.
- Working closely with other Executive Assistants and Private Office members across DDaT to provide all round support and cover during periods of absence.
- Developing a sufficient understanding of the directorate to provide wider support as required.
- Recognising the sensitivities and reputational impact of your role and developing an understanding of the wider DDaT business to support the CISO/ senior leader’s priorities.
- Managing a busy inbox, assessing incoming messages to ensure high priority matters are dealt with on receipt or escalated appropriately. Take responsibility for drafting and responding to general enquiries in a timely and professional manner and storing / archiving management information as required to ensure it is readily retrievable.

Due to the nature of this role/business needs, this post is available on full-time and flexible working only but not on part time basis.

**Hybrid Working**

Hybrid working enables employees to work partly in their workplace(s) and partly at home. A hybrid working pattern may be available, where business needs allow. Applicants can discuss what this means with the vacancy holder if they have specific questions.

**Person specification**:
You will also be expected to carry out the following day to day activities:

- Developing a network of key internal and external contacts and stakeholders to coordinate meetings and workstreams to support the effective operation of the CISO Private Office.
- Arranging all travel/ hotel bookings on behalf of the CISO / senior leader, processing expenses and raising purchase requisitions in a timely and accurate manner ensuring value for money at all times.
- Being a professional representative in all dealings associated with the CISO / senior leader’s Private Office e.g. colleagues, key stakeholders and other Private Offices across the Home Office and beyond.
- Assisting with on-boarding of new staff, gathering and collating relevant information, ensuring appropriate forms are completed and dispatched and that equ
