This is not a typical Executive Assistant role. It offers a unique opportunity to work as a strategic partner to the Chief Executive (CE), supporting the delivery of the hospital’s vision and objectives.

As a trusted advisor and confidante, you will manage priorities, filter information, and enable the CE to focus on what matters most. Your ability to connect the dots across the organisation and anticipate needs before they arise will be critical to staying steps ahead. You’ll ensure the CE is involved in the right conversations, with the right people, at the right time.

Acting as the CE’s eyes and ears, you’ll bring a deep understanding of clinical priorities, business needs, and interpersonal dynamics. You will manage relationships with the Board, senior clinicians, external partners, and frontline staff with professionalism, discretion, and warmth.

Your strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and business acumen will support the CE’s decision-making. You will help advance the hospital’s strategic agenda by coordinating key initiatives, ensuring clear communication, and preparing high-quality Board papers and correspondence.

Your keen judgment will balance competing priorities and maintain the CE’s focus and energy, allowing you to act autonomously and confidently.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-trust environment where strategic thinking, proactive planning, and strong connections across a complex healthcare ecosystem are essential, this role offers a rare and rewarding opportunity to make a lasting impact.
