Let us tell you a bit about us

We’re Aldermore – the award-winning bank, trusted and highly rated by over a quarter of a million customers for more than a decade. With our range of specialist mortgages, savings accounts and business finance solutions, we're backing more people to go for it.

We thrive by saying “yes” to our customers. We respect the ingenuity of entrepreneurs and their startups; we give first-timers a leg-up onto the property ladder; we open up the lending market to many; and thousands of customers chose Motonovo Finance every week to buy their next car, van or motorbike.

This is where you come in. We are on a journey. A journey defined by a destination; to deliver on our purpose.

Let us tell you a bit about the opportunity

The role of Personal Assistant is important to us and enables us to deliver for our colleagues day in and day out. The purpose of this role is to provide dedicated support to the senior leadership team. This could be supporting up to 4 – 5 Director level colleagues as well as providing temporary holiday cover on occasion.

What will your day look like?

• Diary management: managing and coordinating diary and meeting arrangements ensuring that all facilities and equipment are available where appropriate and being the gatekeeper of time and priorities.
• General administration: planning, arranging, and managing any travel and accommodation requirements and processing expenses in line with the Aldermore expenses policy.
• Assisting in managing and prioritising correspondence such as calls and emails, ensuring urgent information is highlighted to support with effective time management.
• Support in the organisation of leadership team meetings.
• Working collaboratively with other PAs across the Group to ensure there is cover and support and forming a strong virtual team with your colleagues in similar roles.
• Building effective working relationships with the leadership team’s direct reports, stakeholders and third-party relationships.

What do we expect from you?

• Excellent organisation and time management to be able to juggle several different things at once and ensure that nothing is missed.
• Ability to work well under pressure, in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent attention to detail.
• High degree of discretion and confidentiality - you will often be party to confidential information.
• Strong communication and relationship building skills with the ability to liaise at all senior levels.
• Demonstrate flexibility to cope with things when they change and work effectively using your own initiative.

What can you expect from us?

• A friendly and flexible culture, the same as how we work with our customers.
• A growing organisation that means there’s lots of opportunities to progress
• A drive for continuous improvement, which you will be empowered to get behind from day one.
• And of course, you will be rewarded competitively, with a good range of core benefits and bonus potential.

Join us and we’ll make the same promises to you as a colleague, as we do to each of our customers. We’re committed to building a working environment that values respect, diversity, and compassion.

The Company

We champion equality by supporting the exceptions to the rule and getting finance to where it’s needed.

We lend the money people save with us, to people who want to get on in life; build businesses and create employment, buy property for people to live and work in, and purchase vehicles to move families and goods around.

Our behavioural framework underpins our purpose and strategic drivers, as it outlines the behaviours we need to demonstrate in order to succeed. Where our strategic drivers (Stay Ahead Propositions, Relationships That Last and Progressive Platform) outline what we need to do to succeed, our behaviours guide us in how. In your second interview, we’ll ask you to talk through some examples where you’ve demonstrated these behaviours in your previous roles.

As you would expect, we offer a competitive basic salary and reward package, and you’ll also benefit from our commitment to investing in your professional development throughout your journey with us.
