Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

We are seeking two highly experienced, organised and efficient Executive Assistants to join our Executive Administration team managed by our Senior Executive Administration Manager. Collectively the team offer proactive support to our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Board of Trustees and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) in leading the charity efficiently and effectively and achieving our strategic and operational objectives. 

About the role

One of the Executive Assistants will work with our Chief Operating Officer who works across the charity and leads our Finance and Corporate Services Directorate, along with supporting the Director of Income and Engagement. The other will work with the Director of Services and Devolved Nations and the Director of Research. 

The roles play a critical part in delivering executive support and will be required to collaborate and build positive working relationships across the Charity, demonstrating a flexible and team focused approach ensuring that leadership are provided with a high quality, customer focused executive administration support service.   

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

• Excellent organisational and administration skills, with the ability to proactively manage multiple tasks. 
• High levels of professional judgement accompanied by confidentially, integrity and diplomacy. 
• Extensive experience of providing support at senior level and working with a range of stakeholders. 
• Collaborative, proactive with a focus on continuous improvement and providing a high-quality customer focused service. 

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

We do not wish to receive contact from agencies or media sales.
