You may have prior experience in an administrative assistant role, perhaps in a policy communications, operations or stakeholder engagement team. More importantly, you will have logistical management skills; exceptional attention to detail; problem-solving abilities; and strong interpersonal skills.

You’ll spend your time:

• Supporting the Communications & External Affairs Team by organising meetings, assisting with event planning, updating stakeholder databases and coordinating social media content with the Media & Public Affairs Manager
• Providing administrative assistance to the Director of Communications & External Affairs, including diary management and travel arrangements.
• Supporting the Operations Team with a range of administrative tasks including processing invoices, supporting recruitment and onboarding, maintaining IT archives and contributing to larger team projects as needed.
• Coordinating the Trust’s internal operating committees including risk steering, IT and data strategy groups.

We’d really like to meet you if you:

• Enjoy variety in your work and are adept at multitasking
• Work calmly under pressure and to tight deadlines.
• Demonstrate first-rate organisational skills and the ability to plan ahead and prioritise multiple tasks effectively in order to meet deadlines.
• Have strong IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office.
