They will be approachable, calm and proactive, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines across a busy organisation.

General
The person in this post will need to work flexibly and reactively around the needs of the organisation. The work can be varied and exciting, and requires a calm, organised and agile approach.
The culture at BAC is a collaborative and open one. We work in an open plan space with no closed private offices and frequently work across teams and roles. We are lucky to have an outdoor terrace adjoined to the office which is particularly nice in the summer months. There’s a good culture of people taking lunch breaks away from desks and two equipped kitchen and eating areas where the team tend to spend their down time. We organise regular social events and things can get competitive at our annual sports day and Christmas quiz. Though to be clear, spectating is respected as much as taking part here at BAC!
