Executive Pa jobs in United Kingdom

Location: West End - Hybrid (Minimum 2 days in office, Paddington)

Contract: 1-year fixed term

Salary: £56,700 + excellent benefits

Love Success is delighted to partner with a highly respected charity at the heart of the UK health sector, whose work makes a direct and lasting impact on the NHS and wider healthcare community.

Due to strategic developments and an exciting period of growth, the charity is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to provide high-level support to the CEO and Chair, and to serve as a trusted conduit across the organisation. This newly created role offers the opportunity to play a vital part in shaping the charity's next chapter.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

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.
