Hybrid – you’ll be expected to be in the office at least 3 days per week or 60% of your working time in the office.
The City of London Corporation is the City of opportunities, diversity, social impact and commercial influence. Our work touches lives not just in the Square Mile or even in London, but across the UK and beyond. We provide care and support to people in the City of London. Everything from housing, education and social care to health, leisure and education. It’s about making sure everyone can live independently, healthily, and achieve their ambitions.
As an Executive Support Assistant you’ll play a key role in maintaining all organisational and administrative aspects of the Directorate Leadership Team and its elected members. From meticulously detailing diary appointments and meetings to taking minutes and dealing with general enquiries. You’ll provide the highest quality support to a range of individuals, ensuring all relevant people are properly briefed, prepared and organised for their daily tasks.
With demonstrable experience successfully working in an administrative setting, you’ll have the ability to take minutes, arrange diaries, answer relevant correspondence, and draft reports and letters. You’ll prioritise tasks instinctively, manage your time effectively, and feel equally comfortable communicating tactfully in person and in writing.
Experience in processing requests made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 would be an advantage but is not essential.
In addition to a competitive salary and membership of the excellent Local Government Pension Scheme, you can look forward to an all-round package of life-improving benefits and offers – from interest-free season ticket and bicycle loans to discounts on health and wellbeing, arts and culture.
The City of London Corporation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

How many days a week you’ll be required to attend your workplace will depend on the requirements of your role. It’s important that you understand the requirements before applying to ensure you are able to meet them. We are committed to considering requests to work flexibly and job share. Requests will be considered by the recruiting manager in line with our policies and business needs.
