We make health happen

The role

You’ll provide proactive, high-quality support to 2 senior leaders - the HR Director and the IT Director - ensuring seamless coordination of complex diaries, meetings, and travel.

You’ll champion digital adoption and process efficiency, leveraging tools like Microsoft 365 and Copilot to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

Maintaining a visible, professional presence across multiple sites, you’ll support event and leadership engagements, and foster strong relationships both internally and externally.

By collaborating with the wider PA community, sharing best practices, and embracing continuous improvement, you’ll deliver reliable, confidential, and sustainable support that empowers leaders and contributes to the overall effectiveness of the function and service they support, and overall Diagnostics & Secondary Care London.

It’s a busy role and you’ll need to be flexible!

One day you could be supporting organising an event, then another capturing notes at a meeting, then designing PowerPoint presentations and meeting and greeting people on site.

We’re looking for somebody who’s not afraid to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in!
