Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive

Over the past thirty years the our client has seen substantial growth. Based in Westminster they work hard for homeless young people, insecurely housed families, and their children. Last year over 1200 people used their different services.

They have made real improvements in recent years, but they know they face challenging times. In Westminster, in nearly all its forms, homelessness is increasing and around a third of families live in poverty. People face some of the highest housing costs in the country, a challenging labour market and rising levels of violent crime. Some of those they support come from care or broken relationships which can limit access to the help most of them take for granted. Some are seeking asylum, safety, and support.

Throughout the pandemic they have kept their services open and they have helped 700 individuals and families since the lockdown began. They know however that the challenges of Covid-19 are not for the short term, and particularly now, their response is too important to be left to chance.
They therefore want to focus their efforts on young people, children, and families. To tackle homelessness, poor housing and poverty at a young age and break its cycle into later life. They want to see the value in each individual and nurture potential, helping young people and families to thrive. It is a team effort and everyone at the Centre plays a critical role.

The post is temporary as the Centre is reviewing its administrative services in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Centre’s new organisational plans. There is a high likelihood that there will be need for a similar role going forward, but it cannot be guaranteed. We will involve the post holder in this review, but applicants should be clear that initially this post is for a fixed term.

Executive Assistant Requirements:

Of course, they need someone with administrative skills and great levels of organisation, but equally important is someone who shares their values. They need people who are welcoming, see the value in each individual and will work as a team. People who are committed to their mission and are able to learn and improve for the benefit of all those who need their support. 

Essential Experience of:

- Providing administrative support to senior staff or teams in a complex setting
- Managing competing demands with evidence of a strong ability to work in a planned fashion
- Supporting contact and communications with significant and important stakeholders, with great verbal and written communication skills
- Taking minutes, writing emails and letters on behalf of others
- Suggesting and leading administrative improvements to support individuals, teams or organisations to work in a more efficient or client focused way
-Supporting the successful implementation of cross organisational projects through administrative or project management support
- Helping co-ordinate events for external or internal audiences.
- Working with sensitive and confidential information.

Desirable:

- Working in a charity or with organisations working with vulnerable adults or children
- Working alongside a fundraising or communications team

About the organisation:

Their Centre in 1986; they offer a diverse range of services for homeless young people, families in need and the local community on one site. The Centre enables people to gain the skills and support they need to overcome poverty and homelessness.

They have a person-focussed approach which encourages them to recognise that each human being is different with complex needs and so their response needs to be multi-layered. Therefore the organisation has six principal service packages: residential services for homeless young people; family support; housing and welfare rights advice; employment support; learning (English and digital inclusion); and immigration advice and advocacy.
