Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse?

Charity People are delighted to be supporting an organisation dedicated to championing the safety and rights of LGBT+ individuals affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crimes, and other forms of abuse.

About the Role
As an Executive Assistant, you will be crucial in ensuring the efficient operation of the executive office. You will provide comprehensive administrative and project support to the CEO, the Chair of the Board, Trustees, and Deputy CEO. Your responsibilities will include managing the CEO's strategic inbox and diary, coordinating meetings, handling internal and external communications, and supporting governance needs. This is a temporary role for a member of staff who is currently on sick leave.

Key duties include:

• Supporting the CEO in managing their workload and priorities.
• Acting as a gatekeeper for the CEO and Chair.
• Coordinating key meetings, including Board and sub-committee meetings.
• Assisting with research and project management related to the CEO's initiatives.
• Maintaining effective systems for tracking operational work against strategic goals.
• Upholding confidentiality and representing the CEO in various settings.

We are looking for:

• Strong project management skills with a proven ability to handle multiple competing priorities.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written.
• A proactive and resilient individual with strong judgment and the ability to work autonomously or escalate issues when necessary.
• A deep understanding of LGBT+ issues, particularly those affecting victims and survivors of abuse and violence.
• Experience in an executive support role, particularly within the charity sector, is desirable but not essential.

If you possess the skills and experience to excel in this role and are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a vital cause, we encourage you to apply.
