Harris Hill – Charity Recruitment Specialists is excited to be partnering with a purpose-driven organisation to recruit their new Executive Assistant, who will play a central role in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of their operations. This is a permanent position, offered on a full-time or part-time basis (five or four days per week). While primarily home-based, the successful candidate will be required to work on a hybrid basis for the initial months (1-2 times a week in the office in Farnham, Surrey).
Our client manages a portfolio of charitable grants on behalf of a private, anonymous Trust. Their work spans continents and a diverse range of issues, from education and health to humanitarian relief and sustainable development, always with a focus on long-term impact. At the heart of their mission is a commitment to building an equitable, sustainable world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and live a healthy life. The Trust wishes to remain as anonymous and low-profile as possible to give humbly and keep focus on those who are working to alleviate suffering.
Although high-level executive support is a key component of this role, it is far more than diary management. The Executive Assistant will become a trusted member of our client’s small team, helping to develop and maintain streamlined administrative systems, supporting the setup and oversight of grants, coordinating meetings and hybrid events across different time zones, and liaising with a wide range of stakeholders. From managing expense claims and grant documentation to planning international gatherings and ensuring follow-through on action points, this is a varied and essential role.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience as an Executive Assistant, supporting a CEO and senior management team—ideally within a charity, trust, or foundation. They will bring significant experience in diary management, event coordination, and committee servicing, and be a confident and efficient minute taker. Highly organised, proactive, and adaptable, the post holder will have the ability to plan well, build relationships, and be comfortable in taking the initiative. The new EA will be comfortable using a wide range of digital tools and platforms (including MS Word and Excel, CRM databases, SharePoint, MS Teams, Zoom, and project management applications). They will thrive in a remote-first environment and be confident juggling multiple priorities while working both independently and collaboratively.
To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter detailing your experience and motivation by the 30th of June 2025.
Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information.
As a leading charity recruitment specialist and a certified B Corp, Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and other protected characteristics.
