Support in preparing high-quality briefings, presentations, reports, and correspondence.
Join and follow up on meetings to capture actions and ensure timely execution.
Track priorities and ensure alignment with the leader’s goals and wider organisational strategy.
Coordinate travel logistics, site visits, and in-person meetings across the UK.
Anticipate needs and act independently to resolve issues before they arise.

About You

Exceptional communication, organisation, and interpersonal skills.

Strategic thinker with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
Confident working both independently and as part of a wider leadership and support team.
Comfortable with regular UK travel and flexible working patterns.
Strong IT skills and proficiency with tools like Microsoft 365, Teams, and virtual collaboration platforms.

A mission-led organisation making an impact at scale.
