Our desire is to do this without losing the relational and member-led approach we have always taken, and to extend the work into more countries.

Executive Assistant
Location: King's Cross, London N1C
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full time
Salary: Circa £35,000

Who are we?

Art Fund is the UK’s national fundraising charity for art. We give grants to help museums, galleries, historic houses and public arts organisations to acquire objects for their collections, to share them with as many people as possible, and to support research and training for museum professionals. We are supported by our growing membership of 135,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many individuals, trusts and foundations.

The role

At Art Fund, the role of Executive Assistant sits at the very centre of the organisation. Your primary focus is the administrative support of the Director through complex diary management and managing a busy inbox; but the role also encapsulates organising staff social, information sharing and learning events, collaborating with departments on projects, providing administrative support to the Senior Management Team in their weekly meetings and supporting the Governance Manager with the planning and delivery of Board meetings.

At its core, this role is administration based and in support of the Director of Art Fund. The Director is in frequent contact with Art Fund’s stakeholders, Directors across the culture sector, as well as individuals from Local Authority and Government. The Director’s time is therefore finely balanced between internal and external meetings, so you need to be confident in using Outlook, with a keen eye for detail and excellent communication skills. Working alongside the Director to prioritise meetings and workload, this is a role which requires collaborative working, and you will work closely with both your colleagues and the Director to ensure that their time is efficiently and effectively used.

This role interacts across all departments, and with all the staff of Art Fund; you will be confident, practical, approachable and highly organised. You’ll be helping with the occasional largescale communications across the sector on behalf of the Director; managing deadlines for articles from the Director for our Art Quarterly publication and Annual Report; helping to support on events including Museum of the Year and the annual Trustees Dinner, and generally embedding yourself within the organisation as one of the team.

Key Employee Benefits

• Generous annual leave – 25 days annual leave and bank holidays, with additional non-contractual office closure dates at Christmas and an additional day in August.
• Free National Art Pass (NAP) – for yourself and another person of your choice.
• Art time – a half day per month to visit museums and galleries.
• Life Assurance – cover for up to three times your basic salary.
• Season Ticket Loan
• Healthcare cash back plan and wellbeing app
• Pensions – Eligible employees are enrolled into the scheme with the exception of those who have contracts of three months or less. Art Fund contributes 8% of the basic annual salary during the first six months of employment or until probation is successfully completed, whichever is the later. At that point the contribution is increased to 10%.

This post is London-based. The position is based in our office in Granary Square. We can offer occasional homeworking, however regular presence in the office will be required for this role and is dependent on the Director’s diary.

Closing deadline: 23.59 on 3 November 2024.
We will be shortlisting on a rolling basis, so the role may close early.
Please expect first stage interviews to be online, w/c 4 November.
