About Shooting Star Children’s Hospices

We have an exciting opportunity for a Executive Assistant to CEO to join our team at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

Shooting Star Children’s Hospices provides specialist care and support to families who have a baby, child or young person with a life-limiting condition, or who have been bereaved. Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, we support families across Surrey, north-west London and south-west London from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care.

At the heart of what we do are our dedicated staff; their exceptional commitment and professionalism mean every family has the opportunity to make every moment count.

It’s a great time to join Shooting Star Children’s Hospices as we continue to strengthen our services and invest in improvements that will enhance the support we offer to children and families.

About the role

Your key purpose will be to provide high‑level executive and governance support to the CEO, the Directors Team and the Board of Trustees, ensuring they are organised, informed and enabled to perform at their best.

In this pivotal role, you will manage the CEO’s diary and communications, prepare and coordinate key documentation, oversee governance administration, and ensure board and committee meetings run smoothly. You will also act as a key point of contact for Trustees, supporting recruitment, compliance checks, mandatory training, and the distribution of board papers.

You will play a crucial part in keeping the organisation running efficiently by maintaining effective systems, coordinating meetings and minutes, monitoring policy reviews, and assisting with internal and external communications on behalf of the CEO.

About you

This role requires experience in providing high-level executive or PA support within a complex organisation, including managing demanding diaries, handling confidential correspondence, and preparing high-quality papers and minutes. Experience supporting governance, boards or committees would be highly advantageous.

You will also be able to organise and prioritise a varied workload, work independently with minimal supervision, and exercise sound judgement when escalating issues or acting on behalf of the CEO when delegated. You will be an excellent communicator, capable of building effective working relationships with senior leaders, Trustees, staff, and external partners.

You will demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, strong IT skills, and a commitment to maintaining professional standards, confidentiality, and accuracy in all aspects of your work.

Please see the attached job description for more information about this opportunity at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.
