This Role Is NOT for Everyone

Most people want a job.
We’re looking for a force of nature.

Sim & Skills is not just growing - we’re rocketing. As the UK’s fastest-growing healthcare simulation equipment provider, we don’t do average, and we definitely don’t do slow. To keep up, we need an Executive Assistant who’s more than just organised — we need a mission-driven multitasker, a master of detail, and a strategic thinker who thrives under pressure.

This is a 12-month maternity cover position — but if you prove you’re that rare 1%, we won’t want to let you go!

The Executive Assistant Role:

This isn’t your average EA role.

You’ll be the heartbeat of the organisation, the right hand to the board, and the glue that holds our high-performing team together. From executive support and HR coordination to operations management, financial admin and ISO compliance — you’ll do it all with precision, poise, and pride.

• Be our HR and office go-to in Chesterfield
• Champion team wellbeing and performance
• Deliver wow-worthy customer service
• Manage invoicing, bookkeeping, and financial admin
• Own quality, compliance, and ISO9001 standards
• And yes, spin 100 plates while catching the one that’s falling — before anyone else sees it drop

Are You the One?

• A proactive EA with laser-sharp attention to detail
• Comfortable managing HR, finance, team performance, and compliance
• The kind of person who finds typos before they happen

• Cool under pressure, confident in chaos, and calm in a crisis
• Tech-savvy across CRMs, Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace
• Familiar with Xero or similar bookkeeping software
• Experienced in ISO9001? Even better.
