Who we are:

We’re not just talking about making a difference, we’re making it happen. We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals.

You’ll be joining our teams of practical doers, future thinkers and business champions. We’re enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future for all, and working hard to decarbonise the planet for generations to come.

About the role:

We are on the lookout for a Personal Assistant with experience working with multiple senior leaders to join us at Drax.

Day to day you will be providing first-class administrative and secretarial support to multiple directors, to support them in the efficient running of their schedules and teams.

You’ll be managing busy diary schedules, organising internal and external meetings, coordinating travel itineraries and assisting in planning offsite meetings and events. We’re looking for someone who can play a key part in the directors’ meetings, supporting with preparation of materials, presenting slides and recording actions as required. 

About you

You’ll have prior senior level experience as a Personal Assistant supporting multiple executives at the same time. Your experience working at pace and the ability to think on your feet in an everchanging environment will be key. 

As a proactive individual who prides themselves on providing a first-class customer service, you’ll have a flexible ‘can-do’ attitude, be highly organised, capable of multi-tasking, possess strong communication skills across a broad range of stakeholders and be confident in providing challenge where appropriate. 

You’ll also need to demonstrate discretion and confidentiality and be comfortable working individually as well as with a team and building new relationships with stakeholders across Drax. A good working knowledge of Microsoft Office (especially PowerPoint) will also be very beneficial in this role.

At Drax, hybrid working is a strategic enabler to our organisational goals and vision. It helps us to empower our colleagues to work in the most productive way possible. We are open to discussing hybrid working, but require applicants who are able to travel to our Selby and London site regularly.

We may be bias, but this is a great role which will be exciting and challenging in equal measure. If you agree, then why not apply today?
