Executive Support Officer – Admin & Clerical – #OR105346

Job Description

London Borough of Lambeth is seeking an Executive Support Officer (PO1) based at 6 Brixton Hill, London, SW2 1RW. This is a temporary role paying £23.73–£30.96 per hour, starting 21 July 2026.

Reporting to the Executive Support Manager, you will provide a professional and comprehensive PA and administrative support function to a range of Directors and senior managers across the council. Working as part of a collaborative Executive Support team, you will manage complex diaries and correspondence, minute high-level meetings, prepare strategic briefings and reports, and maintain document management systems in line with council policy.

Beyond day-to-day operational support, you will contribute to high-profile, cross-departmental project work — providing analytical and research support, developing data analysis tools, and helping to drive business improvement and quality assurance outcomes. You will act as a single point of contact for senior officers, exercise significant political awareness and discretion, and build effective relationships with councillors, Directors, and external partners across the public, private, and third sectors.

The ideal candidate will have proven PA experience in a demanding environment, strong project support skills, advanced MS Office proficiency (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Project), and demonstrable ability to manage competing priorities under pressure. Experience working in a complex public-sector or council setting is highly desirable.

If you have the skills and experience to support senior council leadership at this level, please get in touch today.
