Executive Assistant

YMCA Norfolk needs an Executive Assistant

Do you know a highly organised and confident communicator who can work as trusted partner to help lead a growing Christian charity that supports thousands of young people across Norfolk?

We are currently recruiting for an Executive Assistant (Maternity Cover), and we would be grateful if you could share this opportunity within your networks and encourage suitable candidates to apply.

This role is a key part of YMCA Norfolk's leadership function. They'll work at the heart of a mission-driven organisation alongside the CEO and Executive Team, helping shape the future of YMCA Norfolk and the lives of the young people we serve.

For this particular role, we are specifically seeking an active, practising Christian. This is not simply because the successful candidate will be working within a Christian charity, but because the role itself carries responsibility for actively leading and representing the Christian identity of YMCA Norfolk at the highest levels of the organisation. The postholder will regularly lead prayer, facilitate devotional activities, contribute biblical reflection within leadership and governance settings, and help ensure that Christian values are lived out in the organisation's culture, decision-making and relationships.

This is an opportunity for someone who is passionate about combining their professional skills with their faith. It would particularly suit an administrator, executive assistant, office manager or similar professional who feels called to contribute to Christian mission and leadership in a practical and strategic way.

We would be very grateful if you could circulate this opportunity through your church networks and contacts. Your support will help us reach Christians who may have the gifts, experience and calling to serve YMCA Norfolk in this important role.
