* Organisational Improvement: Identify and support improvements to processes and systems, assist with priority projects and cross-organisational initiatives, provide flexible support across teams and departments

The EA will have proven experience supporting senior executives and Boards, ideally in the charity or non-profit sector. You will be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of governance, compliance, and charity regulations, as well as familiarity with relevant regulations, including GDPR. You will have excellent organisational and communication skills, with high attention to detail and accuracy. You will be professional and demonstrate discretion and diplomacy in handling sensitive information. You will have strong time management and prioritisation skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently. You will be able to build effective relationships with stakeholders at all levels and will be proactive and solution-focused in your approach.

If you have these skills, combined with experience supporting senior executives, and you are excited by this opportunity, we would be delighted to hear from you.
