About the role
An exciting new opportunity has opened at the UK’s largest arthritis charity, Versus Arthritis for an experienced Executive Assistant. The role report to the Senior Executive Administration Manager within the Chief Executive Office and work with them to ensure the delivery of an effective and seamless secretariat function for Senior Leadership Team meetings.
You will be an executive administrator and will be responsible for delivering exceptional proactive executive support to the charity’s Directors of (1) Income & Engagement and (2) Finance & Corporate Resources.
You will also oversee the delivery of a secretariat function for the charity’s expert committees and advisory groups.
About you
If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:
* Exceptional administration management and organisational skills.
* Self-motivated and a proactive approach.
* Track record of building strong relationships with colleagues and key stakeholders at all levels.
* High standards of discretion, diplomacy and confidentiality.
*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
About us
We have made a commitment in our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to increase the diversity of our charity and we welcome candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We want our employees, volunteers and trustees to represent the broad diversity of the communities of which we are a part.
There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That’s one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life – affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as ‘just a bit of arthritis’. We don’t think that this is OK. Versus Arthritis is here to change that.
Versus Arthritis is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from harm. During the recruitment process we will undertake safer recruitment practices and relevant checks to ensure applicants are suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.
