Are you a pioneering, proactive and passionate Business Assistant, looking for a role with an immense purpose and progression???

The company has recently had a significant investment that is being injected into trialling a breakthrough drug with the potential to fight many diseases and infections globally. In a time where we are becoming resistant to antibiotics this really could change the medical world for good.
Due to the success so far and increasing investments the Directors are now looking for somebody who matches their drive and determination, to support them with all operations allowing them time to execute strategies.
The Directors themselves are utterly inspiring…. very hands on and involved in every aspect of this innovative project. With a non-hierarchical approach to the business, it isn't surprising to see the Chairman going on coffee runs or emptying the bins. The team all work together to ensure success, valuing and respecting each other's input and effort daily.
