Summary

PA to Deputy Directors (SCS1) - UK Space Agency

Location: UK Space Agency, Quad 2 Rutherford Avenue, Harwell Oxford Didcot OX11 0DF United Kingdom

If you're the kind of person who thrives on organisation, calm judgement and getting the details right, this is a fantastic opportunity to support senior leaders and keep their day-to-day running smoothly. Our Client is a reputed organisation, and you'll play a vital role in helping leaders focus on delivery-while you handle the administration that makes it possible.

What you'll be doing:

* Booking and managing travel and accommodation for two Deputy Directors (and, occasionally, those travelling with them)

* Managing diaries, including weekly meetings with your principals to ensure they're fully prepared for upcoming commitments

* Arranging meetings-at UK Space Agency premises and externally-booking rooms and sourcing suitable venues

* Handling invitations and meeting requests, prioritising matters on behalf of your principals to make the best use of their time

* Providing logistical guidance for delegates (nationally and internationally), including accommodation and best travel options

* Supporting meeting/event delivery with practical admin-bookings, catering orders, and organising equipment such as projectors and teleconference facilities

* Managing correspondence: responding where appropriate, directing emails to the right people, and flagging urgent items

* Ensuring meeting administration is completed effectively (reminders, agendas and supporting paperwork)

* Maintaining accurate records and filing systems, plus general admin support for ongoing projects

* Supporting with refunds and expenses

What you'll bring:

* A trusted, organised approach to working autonomously and managing your own time

* Confidence in diary and travel management, with strong attention to policy and procedure (especially for travel)

* Excellent coordination skills for meetings, venues, delegates and day-to-day administration

* Clear communication and professional judgement when triaging correspondence

Additional information:

* You'll work with guidance from your Line manager and alongside the Executive Assistant (EA), while also working directly with your principals and covering absence for other deputy directors when needed
