Personal Assistant to Directors

Didcot, Oxfordshire | £40,000 to £45,000

Fully office based | Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm

Have you supported a small business owner and enjoyed being the person they could rely on to get things done?

Helen Fallon Consulting is recruiting for a Personal Assistant to support the directors of a growing family business in Didcot. We’re looking for someone within a practical daily commute who enjoys working in the office with a small team.

You’ll bring experience of supporting business owners or directors within an SME, where priorities can change and everyone gets involved. You’ll be comfortable taking responsibility, spotting what needs doing and following things through.

One moment you could be organising a meeting or handling an email for a director, the next helping with a customer enquiry, preparing a proposal or sending out product samples. You’ll enjoy that variety and be happy to help with the everyday tasks that keep a business running.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting the directors with emails, diaries, meeting preparation and travel arrangements.
• Keeping track of priorities and following up on actions and deadlines.
• Handling correspondence with customers, suppliers and prospective clients.
• Helping the sales team prepare proposals and bid documents.
• Organising and tracking product samples sent to customers.
• Coordinating meetings, client visits and projects.
• Helping with customer enquiries and general business administration.

About you

You’ll have experience as a PA, EA or in a similar role supporting directors or owners within a small business.

You’ll be practical, organised and happy to roll your sleeves up. You can work independently, use your judgement and ask questions when needed. Once something is handed over to you, people can trust you to see it through and keep them updated.

You’ll also bring good written English, attention to detail, discretion and confidence speaking with customers and colleagues. Experience using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and CRM systems is important.

What’s on offer

A salary of £40,000 to £45,000 and a varied role within a supportive family business, working closely with the directors and wider team.

This role is fully office based in Didcot, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Apply through Helen Fallon Consulting with your CV, highlighting your experience of supporting small business owners or directors.
