Show all Admin jobs across Scotland
Stop Press! Admin aficionados, your dream job has finally landed. Richard Branson, the insanely wealthy gazillionnaire founder of the Virgin Group, is hiring a PA/Administrator.
And not for some cramped office in suburban London but for his private paradise Necker Island!
While we like to imagine it’s all jet-skis, snorkelling and cocktails at sunset with a few minutes of paperwork thrown in, this is a serious position that will require an expert admininistrator with a solid background in the sector – admin virgins need not apply.
As well as PA and admin duties, applicants are advised “it’s a busy role in two even busier offices so think carefully as it’s not for everyone (despite the sunshine)”.
