- Managing correspondence, documents, meetings and general office administration.
- Helping organise events, travel, catering and stakeholder visits.
- Preparing presentations, reports and meeting materials.
- Supporting projects and process improvements.
- Working closely with a friendly team of administrators to ensure seamless service delivery.
- Creating a welcoming experience for visitors, guests and VIPs — whether that's arranging a meeting room or making a great cup of tea.
- Finding smarter ways of working and using technology to improve processes.
