As an Executive Assistant (EA) in the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE), you will be based at MOD Main Building (London), although possible travel may be required to other sites on occasions.

This role will require in office attendance a minimum of three days per week, however due to the nature of the work more frequent office attendance will be required.

The clearance level for this role is Developed Vetted (DV), all candidates must be willing to undergo all necessary clearance checks to be considered.

This position does not have any line management responsibilities.

This role is high-profile, with exciting opportunities in a busy office at the heart of the DNO. The ideal candidate will have experience in Private Office and/or Defence and able to build relationships and deliver in a fast-paced environment. They will need to maintain relationships beyond DNO and across the entirety of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise, which includes DNO’s Arms-Length Bodies, Executive Agencies and industry partners.

This opportunity will enable the right candidate to gain invaluable experience working at the heart of a busy and high-profile business area, engaging a range of stakeholders on a critically important portfolio. The DNE directors have busy roles and are responsible for several high-profile programmes. As an EA, you will work closely with them to manage the diary, logistics and liaise with their senior leadership and senior leaders in AWE to ensure key meetings are scheduled in. The successful candidate will need to be adaptable, comfortable with uncertainty and resilient to change.

The directors’ responsibilities also involve working closely with industry partners and as such you will be required to establish relationships outside of government. Their portfolios also include extensive work with other departments across the Government. You will be required to make decisions and lead on proactive management of the diary, balancing routine business meetings and ensuring key stakeholder engagements are scheduled. Interpersonal skills are essential and ensuring the Private office is aware of emergent issues by taking a proactive approach. You will also be encouraged to play a role in other activities across the organisation aligned with your interests and career progression.

We are a diverse team of both civil servants and military personnel, with varied professional backgrounds including policy, project delivery, and science.

Responsibilities include:

Providing day to day support to senior officials.
Managing and owning the Director’s / Deputy Director’s diary; arranging and de-conflicting meetings in line with the Director’s needs; researching and booking travel options within MOD policy and assembling and organising the Director’s briefing materials.
Liaising with stakeholders across MOD, government, academia, and industry.
Providing office management services including, room bookings, visitor management (booking and escorting), reprographics and logistics requests.
Given the high number of requests, this role works closely with colleagues across the DNO to maintain a well organised schedule, adapting as priorities change.

You will work closely with seniors but be part of a wider DNO private office team of friendly and supportive colleagues. DNO is a welcoming environment committed to ensuring that individuals’ development needs are met. As well as formal Learning & Development offered through DNO, a key benefit of this role is the platform and opportunity it provides to get involved in issues across defence nuclear and to craft it to meet your interests.

Due to security constraints, this post is exempt from hybrid working requests. Requests for flexible and condensed working patterns can be considered but may be limited. Candidates should consider this and must discuss with recruiting line manager before submitting an application.

DNO Warhead Group is going through a significant operating model transformation programme which aims to improve the way that Warhead Group conducts its business and delivers for Defence and the nation. As a consequence of this, all posts within DNO Warhead Group, are/will be subject to review and potential changes as we continuously improve across the period of the operating model transformation programme. These changes may be minor or could be more substantive and will generate new opportunities within Warhead Group. Warhead Group’s operating model transformation programme is committed to following the MOD’s framework on managing and supporting people through the change process and places an emphasis on early and open consultation and engagement with the Warhead Group’s personnel and Trade Unions.

Remote working within this role is something that can be discussed at interview stages or with your future line manager if you are found successful.
