  • Ability to prioritise the competing demands on the CEO's office and the CEO's time, using sound judgement to tackle issues arising, and confidence to push back as needed
  • Excellent communications skills. Fluency in written and spoken English, with confident and appropriate verbal communication.
  • Ability to work with social media and digital platforms.
  • Ability to work accurately with attention to detail, and to produce clear communications, letters/emails, reports, and meeting notes.
  • Drive, tenacity and resilience.
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, with a flexible, service-oriented approach.

The salary for this role is around £40,000 - £50,000 per annum, depending on experience, and comes with a range of benefits including flexible working options, generous pension scheme, annual leave, additional leave allowances, company sick pay, life assurance and a range of other benefits.
