Employer Bio
Life for any of us can change in an instant. Experiencing a road traffic accident, a major stroke or being diagnosed with dementia can happen completely unexpectedly and can change our lives forever.

The Brain Charity offers emotional support, practical help and social activities to anyone with a neurological condition and to their family, friends and carers.
Job Overview
With overall responsibility for enabling their CEO to utilise her time effectively and be the best she can be, you will undertake a wide range of tasks and assignments requiring considerable use of judgement, personal initiative and discretion.
You will be a highly organised individual with a methodical approach to work and an eye for detail.
Working closely on a day-to-day basis with the CEO, you will be instrumental in supporting the organisation to deliver excellent services to some of the most vulnerable members of our society. The EA will also provide executive personal assistance to the CEO, and secretarial support to Senior Leadership Team and Chair of the Board of Trustees.
The Executive Assistant to the CEO is a strategically important role within the organisation and imperative to the success of the charity.
A key objective of the role is to alleviate time pressure on the CEO, but also to support the Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team in areas of joint or strategic need.
The EA to the CEO not only fully understands the strategic objectives of the organisation, they also proactively identify business needs and opportunities to ensure that those objectives are achieved.
The proactive nature of the role involves scouring the CEO’s activities and their own work patterns for any inefficiencies to maximise their time. And in turn, this helps the charity to maximise its return on its investment in the CEO.
The Executive Assistant to the CEO holds a unique and privileged position within the organisation, whereby the nature of their role means that they have detailed knowledge of, and productive working relationships within, all areas of the charity and with its external stakeholders.
Aiding positive communications is another vital role and the EA must always act as the eyes and ears of the CEO, which means being alert to potential issues, conflicts, or any other information that may be helpful. This close partnership with the CEO requires a high level of loyalty to the CEO and belief in the strategic aims.
Interviews for successful applicants will take place during the week commencing Monday 31 March 2025.
