A Little Bit About Us:

Brook Street have grown into one of the UK's leading recruitment agencies − matching thousands of people with meaningful job opportunities at more than 4,500 companies every year. Delivering a quality service to suit the needs of clients and candidates alike was important to our founder Margery Hurst and it remains important to us today.

Recruitment is about so much more than just filling job vacancies. It's about giving people the chance to unleash their full potential, through their perfect new role.

About the Role

This is an opportunity to join our client as a Personal Assistant, providing trusted, high-quality support to senior leaders.

The role is temporary (up to 12 weeks) and is designed to provide continuity and stability. You will be joining a collaborative, professional directorate where strong relationships, discretion and effective communication are highly valued.

We are looking for an experienced Personal Assistant who is confident working at senior level and able to step into the role with minimal supervision.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being at the centre of activity, supporting senior leadership, and making a meaningful contribution from day one.

What Will Be Your Day to Day Tasks?

You will play a key role in assisting the senior leadership team within your personal assistant role. Your work will help ensure that priorities are managed effectively and that senior leaders can focus on delivering their objectives.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactive diary and inbox management, ensuring priorities are handled efficiently
• Organising and supporting meetings, including agendas, note-taking and action follow-up
• Acting as a professional and approachable first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
• Preparing notes, briefings and supporting documentation
• Managing multiple tasks and deadlines with confidence and discretion

The role requires someone who is comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders, able to communicate clearly, and confident in their ability to manage competing demands. You'll be trusted to use your judgement, remain calm under pressure, and adapt as priorities evolve.

IT & Working Arrangements

Candidates must be fully IT-competent, including strong working knowledge of Microsoft Teams and core Microsoft Office applications, no training will be provided on these systems

The role is primarily remote, however: An initial visit to the Manchester office is required during week one for IT setup and then an ongoing expectation of 2 office days per month

Please note we are seeing a large volume of applications per role and therefore we ask that if you have not heard 7-14 working days to presume you have on this occasion been unsuccessful.
