Position Overview
A Personal Assistant is required to provide a comprehensive secretarial service to the Care Group Senior Management Team within the North Lincolnshire Mental Health and Talking Therapies Care Group.
Core Activities
* Pro‑active, efficient and effective diary management for appointments and meetings (face to face or on via Microsoft Teams), allowing sufficient ‘free’ time for Directors to fulfil their responsibilities. Where appropriate, delegate non‑essential meetings to relevant members of the management team / direct reports.
* Review, sort, prioritise and respond to email correspondence, providing draft responses (where possible) and in collaboration/agreement with allocated Directors, managing their inbox to work more effectively.
* Proactively plan / reschedule meetings, and take responsibility for organising multidisciplinary meetings, conferences and events as required.
Additional Responsibilities
Previous experience in a secretarial role supporting a senior manager is essential. Candidates will need to be flexible, work independently and be proactive. Duties include the production of confidential correspondence and reports; attending formal meetings to produce minutes; maintenance and development of office systems and administrative processes involving IT systems.
In addition to formal secretarial qualifications, the role requires experience of Microsoft Office packages – Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Experience of audio typing may be useful. Excellent word‑processing/typing skills, exceptional organisational abilities and the capability to work confidentially are paramount. The ability to communicate effectively, work well under pressure and prioritise demands in a busy environment are also essential. Managing competing priorities and identifying quickly emerging pinch points that may impact the performance or productivity of the Senior Management Team is necessary.
