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.

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.

The City of London Corporation is currently undergoing a programme to ensure that our pay and reward practices are competitive and equitable across the whole organisation, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive in the work that we do.
