This is a high-profile, fast-paced position offering a unique opportunity to directly support a senior leader driving impactful initiatives across strategy, governance, and community development.
This is much more than a traditional EA role. It combines classic executive support with public-facing hospitality, coordination of visitors, and involvement in governance-linked admin. It's ideal for someone organised, discreet, and confident juggling varied responsibilities with professionalism and warmth.

• Assist with community-facing bookings such as hall hire, sports facilities, and event lettings
• Accurately handle and reconcile cash payments related to bookings and community events
• Maintain filing systems and departmental admin support structures
• Collaborate closely with the Governance & Compliance Manager on overlapping tasks including bookings, service queries, and documentation
• Act as a professional and confidential first point of contact for the Director’s office
• Provide minute-taking and administrative support at key internal meetings as required

The candidate:

• Previous experience supporting a senior leader or executive
• Strong organisation and diary management skills
• Excellent communication skills—written and verbal
• Confident user of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint)
• Comfortable with hospitality and visitor coordination
• Reliable and accurate handling of financial transactions
• Experience taking minutes and managing formal documentation
• A team player with a collaborative, proactive mindset
• Background in education, charity, or public sector environments
• Experience working within governance or compliance settings
• An understanding of or sensitivity toward faith-based or culturally diverse communities
• Flexibility to start at 11am, finishing at 7pm on an ad-hoc basis

In return:

• The opportunity to work closely with a senior leader in a strategic and people-focused organisation
• A varied role combining professional admin with community service
• A supportive team environment and opportunities for development
