About Stagecoach

Stagecoach is one of the UK’s best‑known transport companies, helping people get to work, school, and the places that matter most. We’re proud of the role we play in our communities, and we’re looking for someone who shares our positive, people‑focused approach to join the team and support our Managing Director and his senior leadership team.

About the Role

We’re looking for a friendly, highly organised Personal Assistant to support our Managing Director and his direct reports. This is a key role where you’ll help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, making sure the MD’s time, priorities, and commitments are well managed.

If you enjoy variety, like being the go‑to person, and feel at home in a busy environment where no two days are the same, you’ll fit right in.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the MD’s diary, meetings, and day‑to‑day schedule
• Organise travel, depot visits, and regional events
• Prepare meeting packs, presentations, and briefings
• Keep on top of emails, prioritising messages and preparing responses
• Work closely with depot teams, senior leaders, and external partners
• Help keep projects on track by monitoring deadlines and updates
• Handle all information with care and confidentiality

About You

You may well have experience already of working as a Personal Assistant so you will already know that the role can be varied, will require you to think ahead and take the initiative as you confidently deal with competing priorities all while being calm, positive, professional and respecting the confidentiality that comes with supporting Directors.  To be successful in the role we will be looking for you to be able to demonstrate:

• How you are naturally organised, with great attention to detail
• A confident communicator who enjoys working with different people
• Comfortable in a fast‑moving, operational environment
• Confident using Microsoft Office and digital tools

What You’ll Get from Us

Aside from the basics that you would expect such as a competitive salary and benefits, you will have the opportunity to join a welcoming & supportive team and be part of a company that has impact on the communities we have the pleasure of serving everyday.  You will also have opportunities to learn, grow, and develop your career.

How to Apply

Please upload your CV and a short covering letter telling us why you’d be a great fit for the role and for Stagecoach.

Stagecoach is proudly an inclusive employer, striving for a culture where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences people bring are truly appreciated.
