There will be the opportunity for overtime to cover events at the Library when held outwith core hours (eg occasionally at evenings or weekends). We are looking for a responsible Executive Assistant to perform administrative tasks in a well-organised and timely way. This is a busy and dynamic role where, in addition to traditional EA duties, the post holder will have the responsibility of promoting and arranging a variety of events within the Library.
