We are looking for an Operations Assistant, to support the Executive and Operations team in administrative and travel support delivering campaigns to accelerate a fair phase-out of oil and gas in the UK. We have grown rapidly as an organisation over the last five years and are looking for a new member of the team to provide cross-organisational support as we head into the next phase of our development. We’re looking for someone with energy and enthusiasm to provide comprehensive executive support to the Executive Director, and support to underpin the smooth running and efficiency of our operations. It is a varied role that will suit a versatile and strong “generalist” who can handle complexity and is proactive and resourceful. You will work closely with the Executive Director and Operations Team across a wide variety of tasks and responsibilities.

Harris Hill – Charity Recruitment Specialists is excited to be partnering with a purpose-driven organisation to recruit an Executive Assistant, who will play a central role in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of their operations.

This is a maternity-cover position, a 13-month fixed-term contract offered on a full-time or part-time basis (five or four days per week).

Our client manages a portfolio of charitable grants on behalf of a private, anonymous Trust.

About The Role
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Almost one million people are living with dementia today. This is expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a life that matters.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we are working to change this. We are committed to ending the devastation caused by dementia. Could innovation be part of the answer?
Innovation turns ideas into real change. It takes research out of reports and into everyday life. Through our Innovation Programme, we work with entrepreneurs, researchers, clinicians, and people affected by dementia. Together, we develop and scale new ideas. So far, we have supported over 60 innovations, reaching more than 1.5 million people and helping partners secure over £13.5 million in follow-on funding.
What could you help make possible?
As Innovation Assistant, you will help make this work happen. You will report to a Senior Innovator and join a small, supportive Innovation team within Research and Innovation. Your role is to keep things running smoothly day to day. You will support events, relationships, and ensure the detail behind our work is clear, accurate, and organised.
Dementia devastates lives. Could your work help change that?
What you’ll do
You will help hold the moving parts together so the team can focus on impact. What does that look like in practice?
You will:

- Help our innovation community stay connected across programmes, events, workshops, and showcases
- Support planning and delivery of events such as workshops, conferences, and meetings. What needs to be ready on the day?
- Provide day-to-day admin support, including inbox management, meeting scheduling, agendas, action tracking, and keeping records in order
- Keep stakeholder information accurate and up to date so others can rely on it
- Help prepare presentations, reports, and materials that make ideas easy to understand
- Support financial processes, including invoices, budget tracking, and clear record keeping

About you
We are looking for someone organised, curious, and comfortable working across different tasks and teams. You do not need to have done everything before. Can you learn quickly and adapt when priorities change?
We welcome applications from people who may not meet every requirement but are keen to grow into the role.
You might enjoy this role if you:

- Can work across teams to support complex projects, helping bring structure to competing priorities
- Are comfortable with data and digital systems, or willing to learn. How confident are you with IT tools?
- Have supported events in some way, such as planning, coordination, logistics, budgeting, or engagement
- Are a collaborative team player who supports others and shares workloads when things get busy
- Can work at pace in a complex environment, staying calm and organised when priorities shift

Alongside this, you bring strong organisation, attention to detail, clear communication, and a genuine interest in improving how things are done.

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve.

AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.
