Job description

Temporary Executive Assistant – Senior Leadership Support

£20.87 per hour + holiday pay
Temporary - initially 1 month, with potential to extend up to 3 months
Hybrid working – part home / part London office

We’re supporting a high-profile national organisation to recruit an experienced Executive Assistant to provide senior-level support to a Chief Finance & Operations Officer on a temporary basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident, proactive EA who thrives in fast-paced, values-led environments and can hit the ground running.

The role

Reporting directly to a senior executive, you’ll provide comprehensive EA support, including:

  • Complex diary and inbox management

  • Coordinating high-level meetings, committees and events

  • Preparing papers, agendas and briefings

  • Managing confidential information with discretion

  • Supporting cross-organisation projects and initiatives

  • Acting as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders

About you

You’ll bring:

  • Proven experience supporting senior leaders at Director or Executive level

  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities

  • Confidence working with multiple stakeholders

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • A calm, solutions-focused approach in a busy environment

  • Availability to start at short notice

Experience within the charity, public or purpose-driven sector would be an advantage, but is not essential.

What’s on offer

  • £20.87 per hour plus holiday pay

  • Hybrid working (London-based office requirement)

  • An opportunity to support meaningful, organisation-wide work

  • A well-structured role within a collaborative, professional team

If you’re an experienced EA available immediately (or at short notice) and looking for a short-term assignment with potential extension, we’d love to hear from you.
