Our Principal is looking for a Personal Assistant who has the initiative to drive projects forward and is highly organised. This is an exciting new role within a vibrant and growing Charity. The successful candidate will provide strong executive support to the Principal as he seeks to further develop the organisation’s outputs.
Tyndale House is a renowned institute for biblical studies and possesses one of the finest libraries for biblical research in the world.

Our current annual expenditure on charitable activities is around £1.3m and we rely on donations and receive no public subsidy.
