This is a fantastic opportunity for a Graduate Team Assistant to join a genuinely lovely SME, as a Team Assistant who can provide first-class support to a Team of around 8.

With little touches including fresh fruit in the office each week, soft drinks and hot refreshments available for all and regular lunches that are ordered into the office, they possess a really lovely working culture, where everyone works hard, but where work-life balance is also really respected.

The role sits with 3 other Assistants who pride themselves on helping each other and working collaboratively. The team vary in seniority so the levels of support each person requires will vary depending on workload.

The current Team Assistant plans to start her maternity leave at the end of June, so they are therefore hoping for someone to join at the start of June to allow for a full month’s handover.
