Are you an experienced Personal Assistant who thrives on being one step ahead, enjoys working with senior leaders and loves being at the heart of a busy team?

We’re working with a highly regarded, award-winning professional services organisation in Leicester that is looking for a proactive, personable and highly organised Personal Assistant to support its Chief Financial Officer.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and supportive business, working closely with the CFO while also becoming an integral part of a friendly finance team.

With the current PA retiring after an impressive 20 years with the organisation, there is a brilliant opportunity for a comprehensive handover, giving you the chance to really get to know the role, the people and the business.

What will you be doing?

• Providing proactive, high-level PA support to the Chief Financial Officer, ensuring their day runs smoothly.

• Managing complex diaries, coordinating meetings and juggling changing priorities.

• Preparing board papers, reports, presentations, correspondence and confidential documentation.

• Organising meetings, taking minutes and ensuring actions are followed up.

• Acting as a key point of contact for senior stakeholders, both internally and externally.

• Supporting the wider finance team with administrative tasks and departmental projects.

• Assisting with financial administration, maintaining accurate records and supporting internal processes.

• Coordinating travel arrangements, events and team activities.

• Handling sensitive information with complete professionalism and discretion.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is not only exceptionally organised but also brings a positive, engaging personality to the team!

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Previous experience as a PA or EA supporting a Finance Director, CFO or senior executive.

• A background in professional services, such as legal, accountancy or financial services, would be highly advantageous.

• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Outlook, Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

• Experience preparing board-level documentation, reports and meeting minutes.

• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to build relationships at all levels.

• Strong attention to detail, numerical confidence and a proactive approach.

• A bubbly, approachable personality and a genuine enjoyment of working as part of a team.

• The ability to anticipate needs, use initiative and maintain confidentiality.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll be joining a successful, people-focused organisation that genuinely values its employees and offers a collaborative and welcoming working environment.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary of £30,000–£33,000, with potential flexibility for the right person.

• Hybrid working opportunities following the initial six months.

• 25 days’ annual leave.

• Private medical cover.

• Profit share scheme and discretionary bonus.

• Employee discounts and wellbeing initiatives.

• One paid charity day each year.

• A supportive team environment and the opportunity for a thorough handover.

If you’re an experienced PA who enjoys building relationships, keeping things organised and making a real difference to a senior leader’s day, we’d love to hear from you!
