Executive Assistant to the Head

A role for an exceptional EA who thrives where no two days are the same!

Do you want to bring your skills to the Education sector?

We are looking for an EA to work with the Head of a leading independent school in London.

This is a role for someone who is highly organised, discreet, and naturally one step ahead. The heads diary is complex and fast-moving, and you will be trusted to bring structure, judgement and calm to a busy environment.

A thriving independent school that educates pupils across both primary and secondary years, set within beautiful London grounds. It is genuinely a special enviornment to work in, with top of the range sporting facilities avaliable to staff, regular staff social events, and lunch provided each day.

There is a strong sense of community, and the school places real value on creating an enjoyable and rewarding environment for its staff.

About you

Previous experience supporting a Head, CEO, Founder, Principal or any other senior leader would be valuable.

• Experience within a school is advantageous, but absolutely not essential.
• A current DBS check would be highly desirable, with the successful candidate required to complete the appropriate safeguarding checks.

The role

You will be at the heart of the school, working closely with the Head and Senior Leadership team.

Some of your duties would include;

• Managing a complex and constantly changing diary.
• Coordinating travel, meetings, and engagements.
• Supporting SLT and board meetings, including papers, agendas and follow-up.
• Managing correspondence and communications on behalf of the Head.
• Handling sensitive and confidential matters with complete discretion

If you are an EA who likes to be one step ahead, enjoys complexity and knows what great support looks like, please give Abagail a call on 0207_287_778
