Working Hours & Benefits
The Role
This is a busy, hands-on PA role working closely with the Managing Director in a fast-paced and sometimes chaotic environment.
You’ll be at the centre of the business - managing communications, supporting client work, and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. This role requires someone who can think on their feet, take initiative, and operate independently from an early stage.

About You
This role is not suited to someone who needs structure or constant instruction. Instead, we’re looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment:
✅ Strong comprehension & initiative – you can take instructions (often verbal or dictated) and act on them immediately
✅ Confident & assertive – able to manage expectations and push back when needed
✅ Highly organised – even in a busy, paper-heavy and sometimes cluttered environment
✅ Focused under pressure – able to prioritise and work through distractions
✅ Self-sufficient – comfortable taking ownership from week one
Experience in PA/EA, administration, or insurance/broking roles is highly beneficial.
The Environment
This is a fast-moving, traditional office environment where tasks are often passed across quickly and priorities can shift. You’ll need to be comfortable working with pace, pressure, and autonomy.
