📍 Northampton | 🕐 Part‑time (25 hrs, Mon–Fri, school hours and summer time hours options) | 💰 £18,500 (FTE: £27,750)
Our Chief Operations Officer has a lot on their plate, and we need someone smart, steady and brilliantly organised to help carry it.
At Postworks, we’re rethinking how businesses send and receive post (and we’re the UK’s only carbon‑neutral postal supplier). We’re growing fast, and we need someone who can keep the wheels turning behind the scenes.

Schedule meetings, prep notes, and keep priorities clear
Pull together info for reports & board packs
Chase actions and keep projects moving
Be a safe pair of hands for sensitive tasks and a friendly point of contact for the team
What we’re looking for
Sharp organisational skills and a calm, proactive style
Experience as a PA, in ops or business support
Great written communication — clear, friendly and to the point
Trustworthiness and good judgement about what’s urgent (and what isn’t)
Tech‑savvy and happy juggling different tools
What you’ll get
24 days holiday + bank holidays (pro-rated)
Free lunch, mental health support & a personal development budget
A friendly, ambitious team (and sometimes, a company‑wide holiday 🌴)
How we hire (quick + kind)
1️⃣ Short intro chat with our People team
2️⃣ Interview with the COO
3️⃣ A simple task to see how you work
4️⃣ Final chat to wrap things up
Want to help us stay organised and make sure our COO can focus on what matters most?
