Executive / Personal Assistant to Chief People Officer and team

Fantastic PA / EA opportunity within a friendly, busy team working 50/50 between the office (Southampton Hospital Tremona Rd site) and home. This is an interesting and varied role offering the opportunity to work with a broad range of stakeholders, whilst supporting the Chief People Officer and HR leadership team., You'll be involved in everything from juggling diary commitments to taking minutes, organising meetings to collating reports, preparing agendas and meeting packs to organising travel; and making the odd cuppa for guests!
This is a busy role where the ability to prioritise and plan your time effectively is essential. You'll have exposure to confidential information so it is important that you are sensitive to this. You'll ideally have done some PA work before and be looking to step up to EA. You'll be organised and practical, a real team player and someone who thrives on multitasking.
This role has come up through an internal promotion of our current PA; we're very happy to support personal development and offer opportunities for broader exposure within the hospital., Equality remains at the centre of our policymaking, service delivery, and employment practice, giving all employees equal opportunity to develop, apply for promotions, and have working arrangements that enable them to achieve a manageable work-life balance.
