Offer description

I’m partnering with a well-established, purpose-driven business that’s entering an exciting phase of growth and is now looking to appoint a polished and highly capable Executive Assistant on a part-time basis.

This is a genuinely influential role, sitting at the centre of the organisation and working closely with the Managing Director and leadership team. It’s ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys being a trusted right-hand support, and takes pride in bringing clarity, organisation and momentum to senior stakeholders.

You’ll be involved in a broad mix of strategic support and operational coordination, requiring discretion, strong judgement and the confidence to manage competing priorities. Comfort working with data, reporting and KPIs is important, as is the ability to anticipate needs and keep things moving behind the scenes.

The role will involve:

* Owning the collection and consolidation of monthly KPI data across multiple departments
* Producing monthly leadership and operations reporting, highlighting key trends and variances
* Attending senior meetings, capturing actions and proactively following up to ensure delivery
* High-level diary management and coordination for the Managing Director and leadership team
* Organising leadership meetings, offsites and strategy sessions (including agendas, notes and actions)
* Acting as a key point of contact for external stakeholders, partners and senior contacts
* Providing central administrative support across the wider business
* Acting as the super-user for the internal HR system, maintaining accurate employee records
* Coordinating monthly payroll changes and liaising with HR and line managers to meet deadlines
* Supporting recruitment administration during interview processes
* Supporting internal events such as team days, company meetings and annual conferences
* Assisting with ad-hoc projects and customer-facing initiatives as required

What we’re looking for:

* Previous experience in a EA, PA or operations support role
* Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
* Comfortable working with data, KPIs and spreadsheets (Excel / Google Sheets)
* Experience using HR systems and a good understanding of payroll processes
* Excellent communication skills and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset
* Absolute discretion when handling sensitive information

Benefits:

* £38,000–£40,000 pro-rata (DOE).
* Level of flexibility around working hours.
* Your birthday off – enjoy a day off to celebrate your special day.
* Holiday purchase scheme – top up your annual leave with an optional purchase scheme.
* Clear career pathways – support and guidance for progression within the business.
* Complimentary refreshments – tea, coffee, and drinks provided throughout the day.
* Fresh fruit and snacks – healthy treats available to keep you fuelled.
* Free on-site parking – stress-free parking right at work.
* Enhanced parental leave – generous leave policies to support growing families.
* BUPA cashback plan – healthcare support to help you stay healthy.
* Time for family moments – flexibility to attend school plays, sports days, and other important events.

Salary: £38,000–£40,000 pro-rata (DOE)

Location: Wakefield

Working Hours: Monday - Friday 9:30am - 2:30pm
