Hernshead Recruitment is a success story built on hard work and great people. Since 2019, we’ve grown into a £3.5m+ business focusing on Advanced Engineering. We’re small enough that your work will be noticed every day, but successful enough to have a presence in the US and Europe.
As we grow, our Directors (Tom and the team) need a right-hand person to help manage the "everything else." We are looking for a bright, organized graduate who wants to learn the ropes of business operations and executive support in a fast-paced but down-to-earth environment.
The Role: Coordination & Support
This isn't just about filing; it’s about making sure the office and the Directors are one step ahead.
*
Organising the Directors: You’ll help manage diaries and travel, acting as a friendly gatekeeper. You'll help them stay focused by filtering their inboxes and flagging what’s truly urgent.
*
Running the Twyford HQ: You’ll be the "go-to" person for the office. This includes managing suppliers, making sure the team has the tech they need, and ensuring our workspace stays professional and welcoming.
*
Onboarding & Culture: You’ll help welcome new starters and take the lead on the fun stuff—organising our team socials, quarterly dinners, and our annual company trips.
*
Community & Impact: We really care about our charity work. You’ll be the point person for our partnerships with Crisis and the Engineering Development Trust, helping us coordinate volunteer days and events.
The Benefits: Why join us?
*
A Stake in the Business: We offer a Share Scheme. If you stay and help us grow over the next 6 years, you’ll benefit from a defined exit plan (targeting a 5-figure sum on top of your salary).
*
Culture: We call it "Relaxed Professional." We work hard, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
*
Work-Life Balance: Early Friday finishes, a supportive team, and a nice office in the heart of Twyford.
About You
You don’t need years of EA experience, but you do need to be sharp, helpful, and ready to get stuck in.
*
A Recent Graduate: You’re looking for a role that offers more variety and responsibility than a standard entry-level job.
*
Organised & Proactive: You’re the type of person who labels things, plans ahead, and notices when a process could be done better.
*
Tech-Savvy: You’re comfortable with Outlook, Excel, and Word, and you pick up new software quickly.
*
A People Person: You’re professional but approachable, able to handle sensitive info with discretion and chat with everyone from the postman to a CEO
