  • Report Preparation: Create expense reports, monthly Board of Directors presentations, and other reports.
  • Special Projects: Assist with creating presentations, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc reports.
  • Confidentiality: Ensure all sensitive materials are handled discreetly and securely.
  • Occasional local travel to meet the executive for document signing (within the local area).
  • Additional Support: Provide other administrative assistance as needed.

Key Skills and Requirements:

  • Proven experience as an Executive Assistant within a corporate organisation is essential for this role.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • Proficiency in MS Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks independently while maintaining attention to detail.
  • Full UK Driving License and own vehicle (for local travel).

Benefits:

  • Flexible working hours tailored to your schedule.
  • Remote working from the comfort of your home.
  • An opportunity to work closely with senior leadership in a dynamic global organisation.
  • Long-term part-time job with a work-life balance.


This part-time, home-based administrative assistant job is perfect for candidates looking for a remote admin role that offers flexibility and autonomy. If you are highly organised, proactive, and enjoy working independently, this is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive and collaborative team.

Salary: Full-time equivalent (FTE) £30,000 - £35,000 per year, pro-rata for 20 hours per week. This means the salary will be adjusted to reflect part-time hours, with pay based on the number of hours worked.
