Hours: Full time
Salary: Circa £35,000
Who are we?

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.

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.

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.
Interested?
