Agent’s Assistant
– Posted June 21st 2017
Gordon and French are still looking for that perfect Senior Assistant. While we have had many really good applicants we still feel that we haven’t found The One! Fitting into a small team is almost as important as your experience. We love what we do and finding the right combination of ability and personality to fit seamlessly in to our team can take time.
The perfect candidate will support a list of established and emerging talent, so must have experience, passion, impeccable organisational skills, and be a collaborator. This really isn’t an entry level position as there will be autonomy over certain areas of the list and this will need professional deftness. It’s difficult to put a time on the amount of experience required, as everyone develops at different speeds, but please get in touch if you think you fit our criteria and are looking for a new and exciting challenge.

Offering general support to the company as a whole our intern must be happy to turn his or her hand to anything, have a strong can-do attitude and fierce attention to detail.

The successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of the industry, be IT savvy and be genuinely happy to turn their hand to anything. While this is an entry level role it’s an ideal opportunity for someone wishing to pursue a career in talent management – many of our runners go on to secure permanent roles within the company.
Candidates must be available for an immediate start.
