Maudsley Charity – Team Assistant and PA
Location: Split 50% Denmark Hill, London, 50% homeworking
Salary: £33,000 pa, plus excellent benefits
Contract: 9 months
Are you looking to work with a team you can make an impact on to achieve common goals? Can you communicate effectively and work with a range of people internally and with external stakeholders?
We’re looking for a Team Assistant and PA to provide PA support to our Director of Fundraising and Comms and to provide admin support to the Fundraising and Comms teams. The ideal candidate will share our values, have excellent attention to detail, a strong sense of initiative and an approachable manner.
This is a crucial role for us and a big focus is prioritisation and planning, so you’ll support the Director of Fundraising & Communications, and the wider team to prioritise, forward plan, manage diaries, prepare for meetings, and support on specific or team-wide projects.
You’ll get exposure to the strategic overview of the charity and insight into managing teams, grant-making, fundraising and communications. This is a great role for someone wanting to develop their administrative experience, executive level working, and/or who may want to move into a fundraising and/or communications role in the future.
You’ll quickly see the impact you can make within the team to improve our effectiveness and ways of working, and what we’re achieving as a charity.
You’ll enable a smooth transition at the start and end of your contract, but still have the opportunity to make your mark and absolutely feel part of our engaged and diverse team.
We are based in our vibrant offices in ORTUS, Denmark Hill, a great place to work and hold events.
We offer an inclusive working culture, with the following benefits for our staff (to name a few): • Hybrid working, 2-3 days spent with the team at ORTUS/onsite each week and 2-3 days at home/offsite. • 25 days annual leave, with a further one day after 3 years’ service and a further one day after 5 years’ service. Plus, additional non-working office closure days over the Christmas period. • Pension scheme with up to 6% employer contribution, subject to a minimum 3% employee contribution. • A demonstrable commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, which is embedded in all we do.
We actively welcome and value diverse experiences, voices and perspectives, particularly those who come from minoritised communities and/or have direct experience of living with mental illness or a carer for someone living with mental illness.
