Welcome to an Exciting New Chapter with Workwarp and Our Esteemed Client
Imagine starting your professional journey in a dynamic, forward‑thinking environment where every day brings fresh challenges, meaningful collaboration, and the chance to make a real impact. Workwarp, a leading provider of innovative remote work solutions, has partnered with a distinguished professional services organization based in central Leeds. Together, we are seeking a motivated, detail‑oriented, and enthusiastic individual to join the team as an Entry‑Level Personal Assistant (PA). This role offers a unique blend of remote flexibility, hybrid training, and a clear pathway for career progression within a supportive, inclusive workplace.
About Our Client: A Pillar of Professional Services Excellence
Our client has built a reputation over decades for delivering high‑quality advisory, consulting, and financial services to a diverse portfolio of clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 corporations. With a strong emphasis on integrity, client‑centric solutions, and continuous improvement, the firm fosters an environment where ambitious professionals can thrive. The organization values collaboration, innovation, and a culture that celebrates both individual achievements and collective success.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not merely an administrative position; it is a gateway to a rewarding career in professional services support. As a junior PA, you will gain hands‑on experience supporting senior partners and advisors, develop a robust skill set in executive administration, and contribute to high‑visibility projects that shape the firm’s strategic direction. The role starts with comprehensive hybrid training—combining remote learning with on‑site exposure—ensuring you feel confident, competent, and connected from day one.
Key Responsibilities – Your Day‑to‑Day Impact
In this role, you will act as a trusted partner to senior leadership, providing seamless administrative support that enables them to focus on strategic initiatives. Your core duties will include, but are not limited to:
- Executive Support: Manage calendars, schedule meetings, coordinate travel arrangements, and ensure senior partners are fully prepared for client engagements.
- Document Management: Scan, digitize, and file correspondence; maintain both e‑filing systems and physical archives in strict compliance with data‑security policies.
- Correspondence Creation: Draft, proofread, and format letters, memos, and presentations, ensuring brand consistency and professionalism.
- Event Coordination: Assist in planning internal and external events, handling venue bookings, catering, guest lists, and logistical details.
- Financial Administration: Prepare and raise invoices, track expense reports, and support the finance team with basic reconciliations.
- Communication Hub: Answer incoming calls, triage inquiries, and direct stakeholders to the appropriate resources.
- Data Management: Update and maintain contact databases, CRM entries, and confidential client records with a high degree of accuracy.
- Ad‑hoc Projects: Contribute to special initiatives, research tasks, and process‑improvement activities as requested by senior staff.
Essential Qualifications – What You Must Bring
To thrive in this role, candidates should demonstrate the following foundational qualifications and experiences:
- A minimum of 6 months to 2 years of administration or secretarial experience within a professional services or corporate setting.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a professional telephone etiquette.
- Strong organisational capabilities, including experience with diary management and meeting coordination.
- Comfortable working both independently and as a collaborative team member, showing self‑motivation and initiative.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and familiarity with cloud‑based file‑sharing platforms (e.g., SharePoint, Google Workspace).
- Legal right to work in the United Kingdom.

While not mandatory, the following experiences and attributes will give you a competitive edge:
- Exposure to hybrid or fully remote work environments, demonstrating adaptability to virtual collaboration tools such as Teams, Zoom, or Slack.
- Experience with document‑management software, e‑filing systems, or enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools.
- Basic knowledge of invoicing platforms (e.g., Xero, Sage) or financial administration processes.
- A degree or diploma in Business Administration, Office Management, or a related field.
- Fluency in a second language, which could support international client interactions.
