4 reasons to choose secondment as a secretary
We are regularly asked about the benefits of being seconded as a secretary through Public Support. In this article, we delve deeper into the four key reasons why more than 250 top-tier secretaries choose secondment through Public Support and consider it a valuable and enriching experience. From legal job hopping to lightning-fast professional development, unlimited training opportunities, and building a massive network.

Legal job hopping
One of the most attractive aspects of secretarial secondment at Public Support is the concept of legal job hopping. This unique opportunity allows secretaries to enjoy the benefits and security of a permanent contract, combined with the variety of an ever-changing work environment. This way, you can enjoy job hopping while being assured of your salary, even when no assignment is currently available. This means you have financial stability while simultaneously getting the chance to take on new challenges.
Your own regional director
An additional benefit that makes a difference for secretaries who choose secondment through Public Support is the assignment of their own regional director. This regional director acts as a reliable partner who not only helps and supports but also serves as a valuable resource.
The regional director is there to ensure that the secretary’s professional experience runs smoothly. From the start of the secondment process, the regional director is available to answer questions, address any concerns, and provide advice on various aspects of the assignment. This personal guidance contributes to a sense of security and support throughout the entire process.

Rapid development
Another reason why secretaries choose secondment at Public Support is the opportunity for rapid skill development. Because you change assignments regularly, you are exposed to different tasks, responsibilities, and challenges as a secretary. This results not only in a significant increase in your professional knowledge but also in a broader range of skills. You also work with no fewer than 250 fellow secretaries whom you meet during networking drinks, regional meetings, and training sessions. It is therefore incredibly valuable to learn from each other, brainstorm together, and ask each other questions about professional themes.
Whether it involves managing complex diary schedules, coordinating events, or dealing with various communication styles, secretaries at Public Support get the chance to sharpen their competencies in different areas. Because you are on a new assignment every few months, you learn an enormous amount. Not only in terms of skills but also about people and organizational cultures. Additionally, you build an impressive CV in no time.
Unlimited training opportunities
At Public Support, we believe in investing in your knowledge and development. We want you to grow and flourish during your secondment with us. That is why you have 24/7 access to hundreds of training courses via our Public Support Academy, and we organize live workshops in Utrecht at BCN. This allows you to further develop your expertise and continue to improve yourself.
Massive network
As a seconded professional, you quickly build a massive network. This network includes not only professionals within Public Support, but also the people you work with during your assignments. A strong professional network can always come in handy, not just for business, but also for great friendships.
