ARCO is the membership body for Integrated Retirement Community (IRC) Operators in the UK (also known as housing-with-care, extra care housing or retirement villages). Our members are a combination of private companies, charities, and housing associations – what unites us is a joint commitment to older people’s well-being, providing choice, enabling independence, and delivering high-quality housing and services.
We are looking for an Executive and Operations Assistant to provide essential executive support to our busy Chief Executive and Executive Management team and important support to our Membership and Operations team.
