Personal Assistant - Highclere, near Newbury, Berkshire

£24,000 - £28,000 depending on qualifications and experience

Our client is Highclere castle, a globally recognised brand and one of the most famous historic houses in England. The castle has become well known as the location of the successful TV series Downton Abbey and attracts thousands of visitors and many events throughout the year. Highclere is also a working estate with its own farming and property management businesses.

The team at Highclere Castle are enthusiastic and passionate about the beautiful place and heritage of the Castle and Lord and Lady Carnarvon are looking for a highly competent personal assistant to assist them with the day to day operations of the various businesses on Highclere Estate.

This is a highly varied role which encompasses some marketing activity and event management as well as the more traditional aspects of office support such as handling general and confidential correspondence, answering phone calls, managing diaries, planning and organising meetings, and liaising with customers, visitors and suppliers. The successful candidate will need to have working experience of Microsoft Office and be proficient in Word and Excel spreadsheets and also in setting up PowerPoint presentations. The estate has a busy schedule of events, so an eye for detail to ensure that programmes are executed to plan and travel itineraries are meticulously prepared are a key aspect of the role. You would be joining a close-knit and loyal team, so flexibility and the desire to lend a hand when needed is also essential.
