This particular B2-based role is primarily Monday-Friday, standard business hours. However, occasional flexibility may be required during busy periods or for executive travel.

For example, check our Event Staff jobs in Bristol or speak to your consultant about your preferences. We cater to all types of administrative and support roles.

Performance, cultural fit, and business needs will determine the conversion. Historically, a high percentage of our temp-to-perm PA placements in Birmingham B2 lead to permanent contracts. We advise candidates to treat the assignment as a prolonged interview. For more on this transition, watch our guide: .
