Full Job Description

This is an exceptional opportunity for an Executive Assistant to join The Prince's Trust supporting three members of the Executive Leadership Team - Director of Fundraising & Marketing, Director of Communications and Director of People & Learning.

This is a busy, varied and important role working closely with the Directors to make sure their diaries support their strategic priorities. Key responsibilities include:

  • complex diary management including all travel arrangements

  • providing secretariat meeting support

  • preparation of presentations & briefing papers ensuring Directors are well prepared


  • You will need to have the ability to exercise tact, diplomacy and sensitivity, with excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills.

    The role will be ideal for a highly organised, flexible, experienced Executive Assistant used to working on their own initiative and comfortable with multi-tasking.

    Last year, we helped more than 40,000 Young People, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues or some have been in trouble with the law. We believe all young people should have the chance to succeed, and that young people are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people's lives and we couldn't do this without the important work of Executive Assistants!
