Personal Assistant

Location: Bolton Function: Leadership Board Job Reference: 5455 Employment Type: Permanent / Full Time Closing Date: 03/07/2024 Location: Bolton – on-site

As a Personal Assistant, you’ll be the backbone of our Board members’ day-to-day activities. Your role is pivotal in ensuring that their time is optimised, and their administrative tasks are handled with precision and care. The Recipe You’ll be supporting three of our Board members based in our Head Office in Bolton.
We’re an informal and non-hierarchical business and we’re looking for someone with the same approach. You’ll be the kind of person who gets on with and can relate to everyone regardless of the role they do. High standards will be important to you and the skill to anticipate our Boards’s needs, getting them to where they need to be with the right information to hand. Making their lives easier by using your initiative to do some of the thinking ahead.
We’re looking for a master of organisation to be the secret sauce behind our Board’s seamless operations. Managing calendars, inboxes, scheduling meetings, events and travel. Interacting with internal teams, customers and regular interaction with the Warburton family. You’ll be confident coordinating Board papers, conducting research, collecting and analysing data to prepare reports and documents. We aren’t looking for a ’gatekeeper’ but someone who’s approachable and can find flexibility in our Board’s schedule.
There’s some flexibility to work from home but the team would like to have you around when they’re in the office. Fridays tend to be quieter so there’s usually an opportunity to work remotely.
There’ll be plenty of variety and interesting activities to keep you engaged and busy!
