The vacancy
Are you seeking a dynamic role in a purpose-driven charity that values your professional expertise, development and wellbeing? We are seeking a proactive, organised and energetic Executive Assistant to empower our CEO so we can improve the impact for our veterans and their families. Join our team and benefit from a flexible and remote role with learning and development opportunities, a competitive charity benefits package and a work environment which is inclusive, supportive and interesting.
At Help for Heroes, we believe those who serve our country deserve support to live well after service. Every day, men and women leave their careers in the Armed Forces because they are wounded, injured or sick; their lives changed forever. We help them, and their families, to recover and live well after service.
And who are we you’re wondering? We are experts and beginners. Generalists and specialists. Ordinary people with an extraordinary passion towards making a positive change to the lives of our veterans (and having fun while doing it).
As One Team we share a philosophy – I.C.A.R.E. It’s the way we walk and talk, the way we interact with others and how we approach everything we do. We are:
Innovative – Collaborative – Authentic – Resourceful – Energetic.
About you
As the ideal candidate, you possess exceptional organisational and interpersonal skills, enabling you to manage competing priorities and build strong relationships across the charity. Your proactive and adaptable nature allows you to thrive in a fast-paced environment, while your keen attention to detail ensures precision in all aspects of your work. With a passion for our work and a commitment to personal and professional growth, you are eager to contribute your talents to make a tangible impact on the lives of veterans and their families.
About the role
- Streamline our CEO's schedule, travel, and accommodation arrangements, ensuring maximum efficiency and focus on our core objectives.
- Build strong relationships across the charity, keeping the CEO well-informed of key events and fostering collaboration among various departments.
- Partner with directors to create an effective Executive Team calendar that highlights our accomplishments, focusses our attention and furthers our mission.
- Manage Executive Team meetings and record-keeping with precision and attention to detail, enabling successful collaboration and decision-making.
- Collaborate with our governance team to maintain trust, uphold transparency, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
- Lead and support special projects and strategic initiatives, providing essential support to the CEO and Executive Team to achieve our goals.
- Provide exceptional administrative support to Executive Team members, empowering them to achieve their full potential.
