Website Personnel Selection
We require an experienced Executive Assistant to support our CEO who requires assistance across a broad range of tasks working as part of our paid and volunteer teams based in our rural offices in Windlesham. Working 9am to 5pm hours with free parking. We are a leading charitable organisation with national coverage and can offer an interesting and busy role as our organisation continues to develop and grow. You will ensure the efficient running of the office function, processes and procedures and office equipment on a daily basis to ensure the CEO provides a professional service to our volunteers, fundraisers, the public and business contacts and benefactors.
We are seeking an exceptional, highly organised and mission-driven Executive Assistant to work directly with the founder of multiple charities and campaigns. This is not a traditional EA role and would suit candidates who enjoy taking control of their own workload, finding solutions and prioritising a range of priorities that can change frequently.
The successful candidate will act as the CEO’s right hand, overseeing diary management which is a key task of the role, strategic coordination, project delivery, media logistics, communications, events, fundraising initiatives and the transition to a new wildlife hospital site.
You will be central to ensuring that multiple fast-moving organisations operate efficiently and cohesively.
The Initial Challenge: Systems & Infrastructure
Before moving into a steady-state executive assistant role, the successful candidate will undertake a significant period of ‘sorting’ and operational design. Many of our current processes are fluid; you will be taken with auditing existing workflows, centralising fragmented information, and implementing the robust professional procedures required to support a high-profile Founder across multiple entities.
