London, United Kingdom Perrett Laver Full time

**About Perrett Laver**

Perrett Laver is a global executive search firm finding exceptional leaders within education, research, healthcare, non-profit and civil society institutions.

We work globally to identify outstanding leaders for organisations that are solving the world’s biggest challenges and have extraordinary impact on society. We are a dynamic company, led by two entrepreneurial and inspiring Founder-Directors, Dan Perrett and Simon Laver, serving leading clients in the education, charities, arts and health sectors.

Our role is to connect the most influential and vibrant organisations in our sectors with the highest capacity and most dynamic leaders - based on a common set of values and a shared vision for the future.

**The Role**

This role will provide personal assistant support to the two Founder-Directors to ensure they are making the best possible use of their time to deliver their project, sales and company management responsibilities, as well as to assist servicing committees on their behalf for the range of Board Meetings they are involved in.

The primary focus of the role will be managing their complex diary arrangements efficiently, servicing committees with documentation and presentation preparation, arranging meetings, logístical support, acting as the first point of contact for enquiries, and general administrative support.

To excel in this environment, you must have the ability to plan ahead, and anticipate the Directors’ needs, coupled with the ability to respond and to make swift, sound decisions and reprioritise rigorously. The ability to handle confidential information with utmost discretion is imperative.

The role requires interaction with many people both within and external to Perrett Laver, and thus a professional attitude, a collegiate approach, and the ability to remain tactful are required in order to excel in performing the duties outlined.

The main responsibilities of the post can be found by downloading the Role Description below; however, as with all colleagues of Perrett Laver, the willingness to be flexible and to take on additional tasks and responsibilities when appropriate is essential.

From time to time, the role of Executive Assistant may require you to work outside of these hours.
