You will provide support to the EA with Board level committees and partnership meetings, and support to the CEx, Board and wider executive team at busy periods/ annual leave cover. Minute taking experience will be key.
Another key part of this role is line management responsibility of the Panel Coordinator, who covers all social work operational meetings the Director of Operations chairs. You will need to ensure this is delivered smoothly for the Director and cover annual leave periods.
You will also work with the team on a rota to field all external calls to the company.
