The London Borough of Lambeth is seeking an Executive Support Officer to join its Enabling cluster, based at Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton. This is a temporary contract paying £23.73–£30.96 per hour, starting 2 November 2026.

Reporting to the Executive Support Manager, you will provide a professional, comprehensive PA and project-support function to a range of Directors and senior managers.
