It's pushing things forward whilst surrounded by a priceless past.

It's the sheer variety of challenges you'll face. And it's playing your part in helping millions enjoy magnificent buildings and works of art. This is what makes working for Royal Collection Trust so different.

Royal Collection Trust preserve and present the Royal Palaces and one of the greatest and most diverse art collections in the world, and St. James's Palace, London is home to many of its key, central operations.

Joining this diverse team, you will coordinate and oversee the effective running of the Trust's offices at St James's Palace.

With a broad oversight of daily operations, you will liaise with departments across the organisation to ensure efficient planning and delivery of redecoration and maintenance work.

You'll also oversee and support Business Continuity planning across all teams, and coordinate efforts to improve energy and waste management.

No two days will be the same. You'll prioritise operations in a fast paced-environment, managing multiple requests and co-ordinating meetings and deliveries, as well as complex travel arrangements.

Overseeing both reception and room schedules, you'll help ensure colleagues have all they need to work efficiently, and that every guest has a smooth welcome and visit.

Taking the lead on Health and Safety planning and coordination, you will advise senior management on compliance issues and arrange workplace inspections, risk assessments and training, ensuring effective health and safety practices are in place.

And you'll always be looking for ways to improve and streamline our processes further.

Deadlines will often be demanding and the sheer range of requests will stretch you. Yet, in all that you do, you'll rise to the challenge of delivering faultless accuracy.

You already have significant experience of office management and administration, and take pride in delivering the highest standards. Experience and/or awareness of health and safety requirements and implementation would also be an advantage.

With exceptional organisational skills, you'll know how to juggle a varied workload, and can adapt to tight deadlines and changing circumstances.

Being perceptive and resourceful you work well independently, and you'll be quick to assess issues, before finding solutions and reacting effectively.

With superb interpersonal and communication skills, you'll be at ease working and liaising with people at all levels.

You'll have experience using a range of IT packages, and you'll be confident producing a range of documentation, correspondence and reports, always delivering with faultless accuarcy.

You're a real team player, and can work flexibly and collaboratively in order to support your colleagues.

This is your opportunity to use your proactive and service focused approach to deliver the exceptional.
