Job Description

The Connection at St. Martins is based in the heart of London, near Charing Cross Station and Trafalgar Square. CSTM has been helping homeless people since the First World War and is one of London’s largest homelessness charities.

The charity has recently reviewed our governance and administrative arrangements. This has resulted in the creation of a new role of the Executive Assistant to the CEO and Board. The role sits within the recently formed Corporate Services Team which includes HR, Finance and Facilities. The Executive Assistant to the CEO and Board will:

• Provide excellent Governance Support to ensure the smooth running of all Board meetings and activities
• Ensure legal compliance and best practice in governance systems at CSTM
• Maximise the effectiveness of the CEO, Chair and Leadership Team through excellent administrative support
• Support CSTM’s administrative functions as part of the wider Corporate Services Team

This role requires someone with experience of working with senior staff and non-executives to support effective leadership and governance. The post holder must have excellent administrative skills, excellent attention to detail and experience of servicing committees including minute taking.

A good understanding of governance systems, ideally in charities, alongside the ability to maintain sensitive, confidential information with discretion are highly relevant in this role. The post holder must also be able to participate in a rota to provide generic administrative cover with colleagues from the Corporate Services team.
