The Brokerage is at a critical and dynamic point having recently launched a strategic re-direction, innovative new services and a relevant new brand, all supporting our vision of a world where a young person’s ability and aspiration alone determine their career path. At the heart of this exciting new direction is our service delivery with hundreds of disadvantaged young people and our work around changing organisational practices with our corporate partners.

We are recruiting for a skilled and experienced Executive Assistant to support the CEO in the smooth running and good governance of The Brokerage and as well as support our partnerships and finance functions. You will be organised and efficient, with excellent attention to detail, able to quickly pick up new systems and procedures, and to prioritise and juggle competing priorities and requests. Although able to work with substantial independence and initiative, you will be a team player with excellent interpersonal skills, dealing proactively and confidently with a range of people, tasks and situations. This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and ambitious person to work as a key member of a small but fast-paced, innovative team.

You will need to share the CEO’s vision of creating a modern, trust - not rule -based organisation that is high-performing and offers its staff the ability to work pro-actively, autonomously and with an entrepreneurial spirit whilst offering a supportive, inclusive and flexible working environment.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and skilled all-rounder to lead a new initiative that will support racialised minority charity professionals to progress in the sector.

Making The Leap is a small and innovative social justice charity that aims to make a big difference. From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.

The shared soul of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity generally (and anti-Blackness in particular). The people here work hard, are good at what they do, and for so many it is ‘home’, with an average tenure of 11 years.
