  • Strategic Oversight: Lead complex programmes of activity and track key projects, monitoring risks and ensuring delivery
  • Executive Support: Provide exemplary diary and communications management, optimising the CEO's time for maximum impact
  • Stakeholder Diplomacy: Act as an ambassador, managing high-profile visits and building relationships across multiple sites in SE London, Surrey, and East Sussex
  • Governance & Analysis: Commission and synthesise high-level briefings and reports
  • coordinate Board materials and ensure compliance with the Nolan Principles
  • Innovation: Use AI effectively and ethically to streamline systems, while horizon-scanning the education sector for emerging trends

Requirements:

  • Significant background in business operations or executive support within a complex, multi-site organisation (Education, Public Sector, or Corporate)
  • Exceptional writing skills and the ability to present complex information clearly to a variety of audiences
  • A valid UK Driving License is essential
  • Highly proficient in Microsoft 365 and enthusiastic about the ethical application of AI in the workplace
  • Absolute integrity and experience handling highly sensitive, confidential information
What we offer:
  • Generous Pension Scheme (TPS or LGPS)
  • Excellent annual leave allowance
  • Free on-site parking and Cycle to Work scheme
  • Access to on-site gym, restaurants, and hair/beauty salons
  • Comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme and season ticket loans
