You will have a personal/professional understanding of dementia and how it impacts on all  aspects of life for people living with dementia, those caring for them, and their family  and friends. 

You will have a track record as a successful senior leader in a charitable organisation of a comparable size or equivalent managerial or director experience.

You will be confident in public speaking and have excellent communication skills, being able to convey a message with impact to engender trust, and be comfortable communicating with senior stakeholders, staff, volunteers and funders.

You will have experience working with external funders, understanding the importance of delivering a project as agreed, as well as  being comfortable with completing the monitoring and reporting aspects.

You will live in, or have close connections to, the local area where we work.

You will be an effective team leader, understanding how to bring the best out in people, and adapting your leadership style to engender excellent working relationships.

Following their sons’ diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Emily Reuben and Alex Johnson founded Duchenne UK in 2012. We are an ambitious, dynamic and impactful charity. 

DMD is a devastating progressive condition diagnosed in early childhood which causes all the muscles in the body to gradually weaken. There are currently only very limited treatment options for DMD, so Emily and Alex set up Duchenne UK to change this. 

Since 2012, we have raised more than £27 million to end the devastating impact of DMD.  We fund ground-breaking scientific research to find effective treatments. We’ve developed the infrastructure of DMD clinical trial delivery in the UK. We engage industry and regulators to accelerate access to treatments. And we’re here to support every family affected and ensure that they receive the best possible care. We aim not only to improve quality of live but stop the disease in its tracks. We’re doing it faster too, because this generation of patients can’t wait.

Alex and Emily were awarded OBEs in The King’s Birthday Honours List in 2023 in recognition of their services to charity and to people living with DMD. They, and the dedicated and effective team they have built at Duchenne UK, are now at the forefront of this work in the UK.

Lead the MEAL team to produce monthly and bi-annual donor reports on all regional programme activities.

Generate clear, professional and visually attractive reports that explain the impact of our work and the recommendations from our dialogues.

We value safe, healthy, and happy relationships both within the workplace and beyond, emphasising a culture that is safe, authentic, and person-centred, reflecting our commitment to valuing staff as much as the people we support. Our organisation takes pride in being progressive and inclusive. We have made specific commitments to staff well-being and inclusivity, such as the Age-Friendly Employer Pledge, supporting Afro-hairstyles through the Halo Code, and endorsing the White Ribbon campaign to end men’s violence against women. These initiatives support work to build an equitable and respectful work environment.

We aim to encourage a culture where people can be themselves and be valued for their strengths. We seek to attract and employ the best people from the widest pool, reflecting the diverse range of people we support.

We also believe in empowering our team members to bring their best to their work. That’s why we offer flexible working hours around core business times. We also provide an annual Professional Development allowance, a generous annual leave package, and even time off for your birthday, Health and Wellbeing Day and EDI-focused Volunteering Day.

We want to make our recruitment processes accessible to everyone. As standard practice we provide interview questions prior to the interview so we can concentrate on getting to know you. If there is any way that we can support you to be the best you can be, please contact us.

About BRAC

Founded in Bangladesh in 1972, BRAC is an international development organisation that today partners with over 100 million people living with inequality and poverty. Best known for our community-led, holistic approach that delivers long-term impact at scale, BRAC works with communities in marginalised situations, hard-to-reach areas and post-disaster settings across Asia and Africa, with a particular focus on women and children. We innovate and create impact through social development programmes, social enterprises, humanitarian response, a bank and a university.

BRAC’s European office supports BRAC’s work through fundraising and communications, building impactful, long-term relationships with partners, and engaging with policymakers and practitioners to tackle extreme poverty.

Overview of the role

The Executive & HR Assistant plays a vital role in ensuring that BRAC’s office in Europe operates efficiently and effectively to deliver its mission to support BRAC’s work. It is a broad role encompassing administrative, human resources, team internal comms, and governance support to the London office, reporting directly to the Executive Director but also working very closely with the wider senior management team and our board of trustees.

The European office is a small, dynamic and enthusiastic team, whilst very much part of the larger global BRAC family of organisations. This is a particularly exciting time as we embark on a new strategy to build our presence across Europe in support of BRAC’s global ambition to create opportunities for over 250 million people by 2030.

The position is ideal for an accomplished, highly organised candidate who is comfortable with a flexible, varied workload and brings a positive, can-do spirit. The candidate will be at ease dealing with colleagues from around the world, as well as staff and trustees at all levels of the London office. They will share our strong sense of pride in working for a successful INGO which is led from the Global South and committed to doing international development differently.
