At TLG, we’re passionate about building an exceptional staff team that love making a difference to struggling children across the UK. We are continually on the lookout for great people to journey with us and join our vision. An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a graduate to train up in the specialism of Executive Support, who would consider a career in this profession. The EA to the Chief Executive is an integral and trusted role right at the heart of the action. We are looking for someone who is excited about helping senior leaders with executive tasks, operations, organisational efficiency, problem solving, the ability to react and pivot as things change.
The successful candidate will have a natural leadership gift, be comfortable with challenging the status quo, and be able to lead up and across the organisation with heads of departments and directors, to deliver the strategy and agenda that the Chief Executive and Executive Director are working towards. They will be trained in all aspects of executive support, working closely with the Head of Executive Strategy. TLG is interested in an individual that has a proactive instinct to fulfil the role successfully, anticipate the needs of senior leaders, and provide effective problem solving ahead of issues emerging, paired with a relational approach and the ability to partner effectively and negotiate well across the team at all levels.
TLG is a Christian charity and, as a team, we want to bring our faith to the work we do; as such, we are recruiting an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.
