Team Assistant

Job Description

We’re working with a brilliant corporate communications and advisory firm in central London, who are looking for a bright and super-organised Team Assistant to join their lovely team. This is a really varied role with plenty of scope to get involved and make it your own. The company works across areas including strategic communications, crisis and risk management and political due diligence, so it would be a great fit for someone who has an interest in politics, current affairs and the wider world around them.

The team is around 25 people and has a really friendly, relaxed and sociable culture. It’s a flat structure with everyone from graduates through to Directors - a group of people who actually enjoy spending time together!

The role

No two days will be quite the same. You’ll provide a mixture of team, office and light PA support, including:

• Supporting Directors with diary management and general PA tasks
• Setting up meetings and sending Teams links
• Formatting and polishing PowerPoint presentations
• Helping with the company podcast
• Getting involved with marketing and social media projects
• Updating the company website
• Greeting clients and being a welcoming face in the office
• Making coffees and helping keep the office running smoothly
• General office management and administration
• And yes… occasionally unloading the dishwasher!

We’re looking for someone who is happy to muck in and doesn’t mind getting involved in the little things, as well as taking on more substantial work.

About you

You’ll ideally have at least two years’ experience in a Team Assistant, Office Assistant or similar role and will be someone who naturally spots what needs doing before being asked.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Extremely organised and switched-on
• Friendly, confident and sociable – definitely not a wallflower!
• Tech-savvy and comfortable picking up new systems
• Very strong on PowerPoint and presentation formatting
• A real perfectionist when it comes to grammar, spelling and attention to detail
• Comfortable managing diaries or providing some PA support
• Proactive and happy to take ownership
• Someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a team

Experience with Adobe would be a bonus, but certainly isn't essential.

If you're bright, personable and looking for a role where you can learn loads, get involved in lots of different areas and work with a genuinely lovely team, we'd love to hear from you.
