Executive Assistant- CEO Office

Salary: £33,119 – £34,811

Directorate: Resources

Location: Chesterfield Contract: Permanent

Grade: D13

Are you highly organised, proactive and able to keep things running smoothly in a busy environment? Do you enjoy working with people, managing competing priorities and providing support that makes a real difference?

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to join the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA), providing support to the Chief Executive’s Office.

This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll play an important part in supporting senior leaders and helping the organisation run effectively. You’ll work closely with the Executive Support Officer, ensuring diaries are well managed, meetings are organised, communications are handled efficiently and important deadlines are met.

What you’ll be doing

No two days will necessarily be the same, in this fast paced environment you’ll manage busy diaries, coordinate meetings and travel arrangements, prepare documents and deal with correspondence. You’ll also support a range of administrative tasks, including recruitment, onboarding, financial administration and reporting.

Building good relationships will be an important part of the role. You’ll liaise with colleagues, senior stakeholders and external partners, helping to resolve queries, coordinate activity and ensure everyone has the information they need.

We’re looking for someone who can think ahead, use their initiative and remain calm when priorities change. You’ll need to be comfortable handling confidential information, working to deadlines and providing flexible support across the wider organisation when required.
