Executive Assistant

JUSTICE is looking to recruit a new Executive Assistant to join our friendly, outcome-focused, values-led team. This is a permanent role and provides an exciting opportunity for someone who is an experienced EA and thrives in a fast paced environment where priorities shift and no two days are the same.  

We are looking for an individual who is motivated by the purpose of the charity, to improve the UK justice system so that it is fair and within everyone’s reach. You will take pride in enabling senior leaders to work efficiently, strategically and with impact. The successful post holder will be a highly organised and proactive professional who has supported multiple senior leaders simultaneously and who enjoys working autonomously whilst using their initiative to manage competing demands.

This role will suit someone who remains composed under pressure, exercises sound judgement when handling highly sensitive information, and plays a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless operation of the Chief Executive and Directors’ work.

The Executive Assistant will be a key part of our small but dedicated organisation, contributing to the effectiveness of the Executive Team and supporting the wider mission of JUSTICE.  

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in and something you would enjoy doing, please do apply!

Applicants should demonstrate a strong interest in challenges facing the justice system, have an understanding of the UK’s constitutional and human rights framework and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
