Job Description

The Opportunity

We're representing a growing and forward-thinking housing association based in Manchester that's entering an exciting stage of development. Still in its early years, the company is expanding rapidly and building a reputation for doing things differently - with a strong social purpose at its core.

They're now looking to appoint an Executive Support Officer to provide professional, proactive support to the Directors. This is a newly created role with plenty of scope to make it your own. You'll play a key part in helping the leadership team stay organised and focused as the business continues to grow.

The Role

This is a varied and rewarding position where no two days are the same. You'll be the go-to person for the Directors - keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes and ensuring effective communication across the organisation.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing complex diaries and coordinating meetings
  • Handling inboxes and correspondence on behalf of Directors
  • Preparing and formatting reports, presentations, and briefing papers
  • Coordinating meetings and taking accurate minutes
  • Supporting the delivery of key projects and initiatives
  • Managing travel arrangements, expenses, and general PA tasks
  • Maintaining organised filing systems and ensuring information flows efficiently

About You

You'll be highly organised, personable, and able to juggle multiple priorities with ease. You'll bring energy, professionalism, and a genuine sense of ownership to your work.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has previous experience in an Executive Assistant, PA, or Senior Administrative role
  • Is confident managing senior stakeholders and communicating professionally
  • Has excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Is proactive, adaptable, and able to anticipate needs
  • Demonstrates discretion and attention to detail
  • Is proficient in Microsoft Office and Outlook
  • Ideally, has experience within housing, property, or the public sector

Why Apply?

  • Join a company at a genuinely exciting point in its journey - with the opportunity to help shape how things are done
  • A role where your input is valued, and no two days are the same
  • Fantastic agile working culture - with real flexibility and trust
  • Supportive and friendly team environment
  • Competitive salary ( 30,000 - 35,000) and benefits package

If you're an experienced PA or Executive Assistant looking for a role where you can truly make an impact, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing organisation that's making a real difference in the community.
