About The Difference

In 2021, The Difference is needed now more than ever. During lockdown, children experiencing domestic violence, loss and trauma, isolation and worsening mental health rose. These experiences could easily fuel challenges at school escalating towards exclusion. Yet public debates around exclusion are polarising and meanwhile the schools serving excluded pupils are facing under-funding. The Difference has seen excellent impact from the early years of its work; but there is more work ahead in capturing our impact, continuing to lobby in the centre-ground, and growing the capacity of our unique and powerful team to keep driving towards lower exclusions in England. 

From next academic year The Difference Executive team needs a new colleague to support them across the whole organisation’s work: orchestrating the rhythm of the year with internal and external work and events; managing correspondence with a growing number of externals; supporting the Directors to use their time strategically to have the most impact; and working closely with our trustee team to oversee the continuously improving work of the charity. Could you make this difference?

The Challenge Ahead: Executive Assistant/Chief of Staff

The Difference is a growing charity, in both the size of its team and the reach of its delivery. As our delivery and team both grow, we must develop our ability to manage competing strategic priorities and their demands on our time, and to communicate and collaborate effectively across a wider group of colleagues, Trustees and external stakeholders. This requires a high level of coordination, strategic time management, and internal communication that we have not needed until now - qualities which we hope you will help to foster and grow.

As the Chief of Staff/Executive Assistant, you will work closely with the CEO and Directors to develop a deep understanding of the organisation’s strategic goals, how they interrelate, and the operational approaches designed to achieve them. Through this understanding, you will support the Exec team to manage their time and input towards the charity’s goals; ensure effective communication across The Difference team, and with external stakeholders; as well as personally delivering on key projects across the charity.

Internal Communication & Collaboration

• Own and maintain an accurate organisational calendar, ensuring teams are aware of one another’s capacity across the year, and can plan accordingly.

• Deputise for the CEO in internal meetings, to ensure that adequate briefing can be given to the CEO meaning ongoing oversight is not lost when external meetings are given priority.

• Project manage key cross-organisational events, such as conferences and school visits, ensuring timely input from all relevant team members.

• Develop shared processes & norms to nurture constructive communication with internal & external stakeholders

Board

• Project manage production of board papers, including support with writing them, and ensuring timely input from across the Difference team.

• Plan and coordinate Board meetings, including supporting the CEO and Chair to set agendas, and ongoing communication with all Trustees.

• Organise and coordinate Trustee engagement events, e.g. social dinners and school visits

External Communications

• Manage correspondence between CEO and external stakeholders, including categorising incoming mail, and triaging or delegating to other team members where relevant.

• Support with social media activities to develop and maintain key relationships, and develop an external voice of The Difference.

• Ensure a welcoming experience of The Difference for external stakeholders, both for those visiting the office, and those reaching out via email or social media.

Events management & administrative support

• Manage CEO and Directors’ logistics, including travel arrangements, venue booking and processing expenses.

• Staff elements of delivery: e.g. Difference Leader Twilights and Summer Training; IncludEd conference.

• Manage the office, including ensuring meeting rooms and resources are available, and liaising between team and office staff.
