• Providing secretarial and administrative support to the Director and Deputy Director of Finance
• Undertaking wider agreed tasks that support the work of the Finance Department and their own professional development
You will be a team player with the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information and prioritise tasks to ensure deadlines are met. If this sounds like you and you are able to build effective working relationships, we would like to hear from you.
