Why this role?
This isn't simply another EA position. It's an opportunity to step into a high-profile executive environment, gain valuable exposure and learn from experienced professionals around you.

You'll have the opportunity to make an impact from day one while developing the skills and experience that can shape your longer-term career.
The role is based in Crewe, with core hours of Monday to Friday, 8.30am-5.00pm.
Given the nature of the executive office, there will occasionally be a requirement to provide support outside these hours, so a degree of flexibility is important.
If you feel ready to move beyond traditional administration and take your next step into high-level executive support, we would love to hear from you.
If your CV is not shortlisted for this role, we will keep your details on file for future opportunities.
