Executive Assistant

A permanent opportunity has arisen to support our new interim chief executive, who works between London and York and is expected to travel regularly.  Our interim chief executive is expected to be in post for 12 months, with a permanent chief executive who is expected to be recruited in 2025 by the board of trustees. The role is expected to support both chief executives and will be important in ensuring administrative support continuity and stability over the next few years. 

This is a dynamic, fast-moving, multi-faceted and thoughtful environment which would suit an individual who can think three steps ahead logistically, is comfortable with occasional ambiguity, able to engage in respectful discourse and idea exchange, has a track record of anticipating and considering wider contexts, and able to multi-task around changing priorities.  As this role will be required to support the chief executive with logistics and coordination of diaries and meeting with stakeholders and colleagues from a wide variety of backgrounds and contexts: active listening, diplomacy, patience, an inclusive disposition and discretion on confidential matters is essential.
