Exceptional Executive Assistant


Fixed Term Full Time

Exceptional Executive Assistant

E te tini, e te rahi – aro mai ki tēnei kaupapa

Our Chief Executive (CE) leads our dynamic team of staff here at Masterton District Council, delivering services to our community and providing a vision for our future Masterton.  His current Executive Assistant will soon be going on maternity leave, and leaving big shoes to fill providing a seamless, confidential executive support service.

We are looking for an outstanding person who can provide a professional support service to the CE, and become his ‘trusted advisor’ for a period of nine months.  The job is demanding and requires someone with exceptional organisational skills to ensure our CE is operating at maximum efficiency.  You need to be a ‘people’ person with great communication skills, a ‘can-do’ attitude, and a sense of humour so that when things get busy (and they will!), you can keep a sense of perspective and still enjoy your job!

If this sounds like the challenge you are looking for and you have a passion for the Masterton community we would love to hear from you.  You can contact Jenny Spencer, Human Resources Manager, for a confidential chat on 06 3706267 or 027 5793233, or send us your application (CV and covering letter) today to admin@mstn.govt.nz or post to Masterton District Council PO Box 444 MASTERTON 5840. 

Applications close on Friday 2nd February 2018 and applicants must have the right to work in New Zealand.
