Summary
The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don’t just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment.
We are looking for a number of PAs to join our Business Support Team in Environment & Business and our Executive Support Team in Strategy, Transformation and Assurance . Personal Assistants enable our senior leaders to give their best to create better places for people and wildlife and support sustainable development.
Naturally organised, you will be someone that enjoys multi-tasking and prioritising tasks. You will manage calendars, book accommodation and travel, and use your excellent judgment to triage email traffic. You will enjoy thinking ahead for our leaders and will step forward happily to administer whatever is needed to keep us all on track. You will join a flourishing and supportive community of professional administrators who enjoy helping one another to succeed. You will be respected for the important job that you do as a member of this important profession. Thanks to flexible working practices you will be able to manage your work life balance in the best way for you. We understand that happy, healthy people are what makes this organisation great and we want people to thrive by bringing their whole selves to work.
You will put teamwork at the heart of what you do and be part of a positive, inclusive and supportive environment where your team, and customers, feel valued.
