Urgently seeking a French speaking PA to Managing Director

My client, a boutique travel company that specialise in European sports/activity holidays, are looking for a PA / Office Manager to join their office based in Kensington.

This role is a 1 YEAR fixed term contract ( covering Maternity - so there could be the opportunity for this to extend or transfer into a permanent role down the line ).

This role is offering approx. 70 % PA/EA support to the MD, Chairman and CEO and around 30 % Office Management ( 60 staff in London office )

The role consists of organising a lot of travel for the MD, Chairman and CEO and will require strong organisation skills, a keen eye for detail and great logistics experience. Other duties will be all your standard PA support plus Office Management tasks such as; Organising office insurances, health care, facilities and contract management. Most of their business is based in France which is why this role requires someone to be able to read, speak and write French to a business level in order to be able to support/translate any contracts or paperwork that requires urgent attention ( FYI - they do work with a translation company but if urgent would want to be able to utilise your French )

This is working for a British, privately owned business and will offer you great exposure to the travel industry. A really down to earth, friendly and pro-active approach will be ideal characteristics for this role - in addition of course to being able to understand ( spoken & written ) French and having experience of working in a PA role previously.
