- Support the Chair and Non-Executive Board members with diary management, administrative tasks, and travel arrangements.
- Prepare briefing notes, agendas, minutes, and follow-up actions for Board and Executive meetings, supporting both the Chief Executive and Non-Executive Board members., Please be aware that the expectation is that you will work from our Birmingham Head Office a minimum of 4 days per week, with the remaining day worked remotely.
Our ideal candidate? You'll be a seasoned Executive Assistant, qualified in Business Administration to HND equivalent level or above, and with considerable experience providing full support at the highest levels of an organisation. You'll have excellent organisational and communication skills, capable of engaging with colleagues and external stakeholders with ease. With a high level of autonomy, you'll demonstrate exceptional integrity, confidentiality, and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion. You'll be proactive, able to anticipate the needs of the Chief Executive, and adaptable to the fast-paced demands of the role.
