About the Role
This is truly a unique and rewarding role that combines the best of both worlds - strategic governance management and high-level executive support. You will be working at the very heart of the organisation, supporting the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees whilst ensuring that the highest standards of governance and compliance are maintained.
What makes this role special?
You will have the opportunity to work across dimensions of the charity, from coordinating board meetings and supporting trustee development, to providing essential executive assistance to the very busy CEO. Every day will be different, and you will play a vital part in helping achieve the mission of building a better world for the most vulnerable children who the charity serve.
As Governance and Executive Assistant, you will split your time between governance management (40%) and executive support (60%). Serving as the principal point of contact for the Board of Trustees, ensuring they have everything they need to govern effectively.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to develop your career in governance and executive support whilst contributing to something truly meaningful.
Is this you?
We are seeking someone who combines governance expertise with outstanding administrative skills. Someone who:
- Has proven experience providing high-level executive support to senior leaders
- Understands charity governance inside out, including trustee responsibilities and regulatory requirements
- Has exceptional attention to detail and can juggle multiple priorities with ease
- Communicates brilliantly both in writing and verbally (including minute-taking)
- Can build strong relationships at all levels, from trustees to external stakeholders
- Exercises sound judgment and handles confidential information with absolute discretion
- Is proactive, solution focused, and brings a calm, professional approach to everything you do
- Has commitment to supporting the Christian ethos and values of our organisation
If you are excited about this opportunity to combine your governance expertise with executive support skills, all whilst supporting a cause that matters, we would love you to hear from you!
Benefits include: a flexible and supportive working culture, pension scheme (with employer contributions), generous holiday allowance, free parking (Milton Keynes office), opportunities for faith-based gatherings, prayer, and devotionals and a welcoming, purpose-driven team who are passionate about making a difference.
