We’re looking to introduce a high-level executive administrator to support our specialist tax team. You will also work closely with our other administration colleagues across AG.

This is a part-time role based in our Taunton office, ideally working 20 to 25 hours per week. We are happy to have a chat about your preferred working pattern; whether it’s shorter days or a few full days.

It’s important that you are comfortable being proactive and can identify solutions and support across the wider team to help improve efficiencies.

Our ideal candidate is someone methodical and highly organised, with excellent communication skills both verbal and written. You’ll get to work with a variety of people across AG, so people skills and the ability to build relationships will be a big part of this role.

• Good communication skills including in person, by phone and email

We understand that not everyone will come with these exact requirements. If your experience isn’t a complete match but you feel you could bring a lot to AG, we’d still encourage you to apply so that we can learn more about you!

What we can give you in return:

• A fantastic place to work with a competitive and flexible benefits package
• A minimum of 25 days holiday which increases with length of service, plus the option to buy and sell holiday
• An annual salary review
