Description
A little bit about us: East West Rail is an infrastructure programme linking communities between Oxford and Cambridge. The area is currently let down by a lack of transport choices, and we have a once in a generation opportunity to fix that, improving prosperity for people and places along the way. East West Railway Company (that's us) was created by the Department for Transport (DfT) to oversee the delivery of East West Rail from construction through to wheels in motion, making sure the railway comes together in the right way. At East West Railway Company, we're committed to building an inclusive railway for all. We believe that to do that, we must nurture a diverse team that represents the UK communities that we impact. Our approach is simple: to create an environment where everyone is welcome and able to be themselves. We celebrate diversity and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We encourage applications of all backgrounds and experiences. Role Summary: You will be working at the heart of the Chief Executive's Office, providing calm, coordinated support to our Executive team so they can focus on what matters most. Alongside your fellow assistants, you'll help ensure cover is always consistent, whatever the day throws up. You'll also be a familiar and welcoming presence in the office, helping keep things running smoothly for everyone who works there or visits. Function The Chief Executive's Office sits at the centre of EWR Co, working across the organisation to help deliver our strategic priorities and supporting the Chief Executive, Executive and Board. Our Chief Executive is the public face of the company and the main point of contact with our client, the Department for Transport, so you'll be helping to keep that vital relationship running smoothly behind the scenes.
