The role
Join a friendly and supportive team where no two days are the same. As a Personal Assistant, you will work closely with colleagues across the team to provide high-quality administrative and business support to the Director and Leadership team, helping to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day operations.
This is a varied and fast-paced role that requires someone who is proactive, adaptable and organised. Rather than supporting one individual, you'll work collaboratively across the team, providing seamless cover for colleagues when needed and contributing to shared priorities. You'll be encouraged to take initiative, volunteer for tasks and play an active role in supporting the wider team.
We're looking for someone with strong administrative or Personal Assistant experience who can quickly build relationships, manage competing priorities and deliver excellent support from day one. In return, you'll join a team that values collaboration, flexibility and wellbeing, where colleagues support one another and take pride in the important work they do.
An interest in the work of Natural Resources Wales would be beneficial, but most importantly, we're seeking a motivated team player who enjoys working in a dynamic environment and making a real difference behind the scenes.
We welcome applications from candidates seeking part-time working arrangements, and flexible working options will be considered. This post is fixed term until 31/03/2027.
As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

Interviews will take place on 23/11/2026 through Microsoft Teams.
