Our client is an independent charitable foundation based in the UK. They are transitioning from being a grant making organisation, to one focused on redistributing their endowment based on the terms of those who work closest to communities. Their strategic intention is to create space to reimagine, test and demonstrate how wealth, capital and social justice can co-exist in service to all for life now, and for future generations. Currently undergoing a significant period of refocus and transition, the Foundation is looking for an experienced Board Support Executive to offer comprehensive and wide ranging administrative and logistical support to the Board of Trustees and the leadership team. This part-time (3 or 4 days per week) role is offered on an 18 months fixed term contract with flexible hybrid working. This will involve scheduling and minuting high level board and committee meetings, ensuring action points are accurately recorded and followed up. Supporting colleagues to deliver a coherent strategic approach to governance across the organisation, this role will ensure Trustees have all of the data, guidance and assurance they need to deliver on the transition strategy. Diary management, note taking, travel arrangements and working closely with colleagues to provide solutions and insight will all be essential aspects of this role. The successful candidate will have considerable experience of having provided comprehensive Governance and Trustee-level administrative and logistical support either in the charity, grant-making or philanthropic sectors, or equally in education, membership or social investment arenas. Highly organised, efficient and clear-headed, this person will be a calm, methodical and resourceful addition to the team. Able to see the bigger picture and use their initiative to provide support and effective coordination to the leadership team and trustees, this role will be crucial to oiling the works of the organisation. Empathetic, collaborative and people driven by nature, this person will be able to innovate, advise and problem solve from a people, process and strategic planning perspective. Intellectually curious with outstanding communication skills, this person will also have an appreciation of the work of the Foundation and the communities it seeks to serve, and be on board with its current journey of transition. Our client recognises that diversity is absolutely at the heart of its work, so actively encourages applications from people from marginalised communities and from people with lived experience of poverty and multiple disadvantage. This role will be based at the Central London office and will have flexibility for home working.
