Executive Assistant to Chief People Officer and Deputies

Are you an exceptional organiser who thrives on variety, building relationships, solving problems, and making things happen behind the scenes?, We're looking for a highly professional and proactive Executive Assistant to provide support to our CPO and Deputies across both Dorset HealthCare and Dorset County Hospital. This is far more than a traditional PA role. You'll be at the centre of our People and Culture function as a trusted partner, managing complex priorities, managing high volume in-boxes, coordinating Board business and high profile meetings, taking minutes and following up actions, supporting key projects, and helping to drive our People and Culture agenda forward. No two days are the same; working directly with senior leaders, you'll play an essential role in enabling effective decision making and ensuring the smooth running of a friendly and supportive team. We are very happy to support flexible working but attendance on Trust sites from time to time is required. Please note visa sponsorship for this role is unfortunately not available. Ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.

• Has previous PA/Executive Assistant experience supporting senior leaders
• Is highly organised and calm under pressure
• Can manage competing priorities and complex diaries with ease
• Produces exceptional written work, reports and meeting papers
• Has excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Demonstrates absolute discretion, professionalism and integrity
• Enjoys working independently and taking initiative
• Previous NHS experience is highly desirable.
