Do you have experience supporting a senior Directorate or Chief Executive?

Our client, a highly innovative UK Health charity that has monumental impact across the UK, is looking to recruit an Executive Assistant to join their team on a six-month contract, while the incumbent takes a secondment to work elsewhere within the organisation.

The overall purpose of this role is to provide day to day support to the Chief Executive, proactively managing his diary and scheduling appointments in line with his priorities, acting as the first point of contact and fielding all correspondence, ensuring confidentiality at all times. You will coordinate his travel arrangements as well as meetings and conference calls, while also acting as the key contact between the Chief Executive and the Governance and Executive Team, often preparing papers and agendas ahead of meetings.

It is essential that this person recognises the urgency and importance of enquiries and is adept at knowing what can be dealt with before reaching the Chief Executive.

Successfully working in a similar capacity previously, this person will be confident in managing all aspects of executive assistance to the Chief Executive to enable them to maximise their performance and delivery. You will be experienced in managing a diverse workload while consistently working to a high standard of accuracy and attention to detail. Importantly, we are seeking personable individuals who relish the opportunity to develop productive internal relationships and who is active and measured in their communications with colleagues at all levels.
