Hours: Full Time (37 hours per week - Monday to Friday) Contract - Temporary - Maternity cover until August 2026 Location : Flexible (Homeworking/Office) with visits to Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Executive Assistant to join our team to cover a period of maternity leave. You’ll be working directly with our busy Chief Executive, Tracy. With your valued support, she can maximise and focus her time and energy to further support our members and stakeholders across the North. You will also be supporting the Executive Team and Company Secretary to carry out governance support and dealing directly with our Non-Executive Board team. This role would suit someone with experience of supporting senior leaders within an organisation. You’ll have excellent organisational, time management, interpersonal, and verbal and written communication skills. You will also be someone who works efficiently using systems, such as our CRM, Microsoft Office and Teams, and be comfortable supporting a Chief Executive on a largely 'agile’ basis. Ideally, you’ll also have experience of providing governance support. Whilst discretion is an essential 'ask’ of this role, you will gain fascinating insight into the important work of the social housing sector in supporting tenants and communities. Our staff team largely work remotely (with visits to Sunderland), so if you are not comfortable working from home and working fairly independently then this role might not be for you. But we are a very friendly bunch and keep in constant touch through Microsoft Teams, team meetings, and regular face to face meetups in our Sunderland office, where you will also be welcome to desk-work if you wish.
