Job Details

Executive Assistant to Director

Location: West London
Contract: Full-time (minimum 4 days on site)
Rate: £25 per hour PAYE / c. £33 per hour Umbrella
Employer: Local Authority (in partnership with Red Personnel )

Red Personnel are proud to be working in partnership with a dynamic West London local authority to recruit an exceptional Executive Assistant to support a senior Director. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a team dedicated to delivering essential services for the community.

In this key role, you will be the central point of coordination — managing complex diaries, handling sensitive communications, organising high‑level meetings, and ensuring the smooth and efficient running of the Director’s office. Your professionalism, discretion, and ability to work proactively will make you an invaluable support to senior leadership.

While experience within a local authority or wider public sector environment would be ideal, it is not essential — what matters most is strong organisational ability, excellent communication, and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing
  • Providing confidential, high-level executive support to a Director.
  • Managing diaries, inboxes, correspondence, and meetings with accuracy and professionalism.
  • Preparing and distributing agendas, briefings, minutes, and key documentation.
  • Coordinating events, projects, casework, and responding to important enquiries.
  • Building positive working relationships with senior leaders, elected members, partners, and residents.
  • Upholding strong values around equality, inclusion, and exceptional service delivery.
What we’re looking for
  • Proven Executive Assistant or senior administrative experience in a fast-paced, high-profile environment.
  • Local authority or public sector experience is desirable but not essential.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong MS Office skills.
  • A proactive, organised, and solutions‑focused approach.
  • Discretion, diplomacy, and confidence handling sensitive information.
Why this opportunity stands out

You’ll be joining a progressive, inclusive local authority that values collaboration, innovation, and positive community impact. Through our partnership at Red Personnel , you’ll receive support throughout the process and the chance to bring your expertise to a role that genuinely makes a difference.
