What will the apprentice be doing?
Vacancy description:
As a secretary/administrator, you'll need to:
- Use IT packages such as Microsoft Word, audio and copy type
- Write letters
- Deal with telephone and email enquiries, using an email system (e.g. Microsoft Outlook)
- Photocopy and print various documents, sometimes on behalf of other colleagues

As a personal assistant (PA) you'll work closely with senior managerial or directorial staff to provide administrative support, usually on a one-to-one basis. You'll help a manager to make the best use of their time by dealing with secretarial and administrative tasks.
The director will often rely heavily on their PA, trusting that work will be handled efficiently in their absence. Discretion and confidentiality are therefore essential attributes of a successful PA.
As a PA, you're often the director’s first point of contact with people from both inside and outside the organisation. Tasks are likely to include:
- Devising/maintaining office systems, including data management and filing
- Arranging travel, visas and accommodation, and occasionally travelling with the manager to take notes or dictation at meetings or to provide general assistance during presentations
- Screening phone calls, enquiries and requests, and handling them when appropriate
- Meeting and greeting visitors at all levels of seniority
organising and maintaining diaries and making appointments
dealing with incoming email, faxes and post, often corresponding on behalf of the manager - Carrying out background research and presenting findings
producing documents, briefing papers, reports and presentations
organising and attending meetings and ensuring the manager is well prepared for meetings - Liaising with clients, suppliers and other staff.
- Taking responsibility of accounts and budgets
working more closely with management if taking on some of the manager's responsibilities.
