Executive Assistant Haywards Heath £35K
We are proud to be working in partnership with the Jonathan Lea Network, an ambitious, entrepreneurial law firm based in Haywards Heath, known for combining outstanding legal advice with a genuinely down-to-earth, collaborative culture. As the firm continues to grow, they’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to become a trusted member of the team.
This isn’t a traditional Executive Assistant role built around diary management and travel bookings. Instead, you’ll provide executive support while helping the wider business run efficiently – one day drafting correspondence or briefing papers, the next supporting a compliance project, client onboarding, a new AI tool, or a networking event. If something needs doing, the team helps each other.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, likes solving problems and takes genuine satisfaction from helping people and making things happen. Sound like you? Read on for further details about this exciting opportunity.
