This newly created role offers the opportunity to play a vital part in shaping the charity's next chapter.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide proactive and strategic support to the CEO and Chair, managing complex diaries, priorities, and stakeholder relationships.
• Coordinate approximately four Board meetings annually, as well as regular committee meetings—preparing agendas, compiling Board packs, taking accurate minutes, and managing follow-up actions.
• Act as the primary liaison for trustees, ensuring effective communication and smooth governance processes.
• Maintain governance data and oversee the trustee lifecycle, including managing a detailed Board skills matrix and attendance records.
• Support the Company Secretary in ensuring compliance and promoting governance best practice.
• Identify opportunities to enhance administrative systems and processes through effective use of technology.
• Organise internal events and occasional UK travel for the CEO (predominantly London-based).
• Manage up by anticipating the needs of the CEO and Chair, ensuring they are well-briefed and have the time and information needed to focus on strategic priorities.

About You

You will be an accomplished Executive Assistant with substantial C-suite or Board-level experience, ideally gained within the charity or health sectors. However, candidates from the private sector who are passionate about transitioning into a purpose-driven environment will also be considered.

You Will Bring

• A track record of supporting senior executives in complex, fast-paced environments.
• Exceptional organisational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• A proactive, professional, and calm approach, with the ability to anticipate needs and think strategically.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to excellence in governance and compliance.

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to work alongside an inspiring CEO and dedicated Chair in an organisation that truly makes a difference. You'll have the autonomy to shape your role, contribute to strategy, and be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team.
