• Supporting budget tracking and processing invoices.
• Keeping projects on track - monitoring risks, progress, and cross-organisational activity.
• Continuously improving systems, processes, and ways of working to increase efficiency.

This role is varied, fast-moving, and ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment with a social mission.

• Proven experience supporting senior leaders (Director or C-suite) in a complex organisation - charity or public sector experience is a plus.
• Outstanding organisational and time management skills.
