Harris Hill is delighted to be working on behalf of National Parks Partnerships (NPP), an entrepreneurial organisation that develops strategic and commercial partnerships to support the UK’s 15 National Parks and increase their impact, resources and influence.
We are seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to provide high-quality support to the CEO and Chair of the Management Board during an exciting period of growth and development.
This is a one-year fixed-term opportunity, with the possibility of extension, and can be offered on either a four- or five-day-per-week basis.
The role is fully remote and home-based, with occasional national travel required for team meetings and other events, approximately five times per year.
The Executive Assistant will play a central role in supporting the CEO, with additional support to the Chair, ensuring that their time, priorities and commitments are managed effectively. The post holder will take responsibility for complex diary management, travel arrangements, meeting coordination, expenses and the preparation of briefings, presentations and other key documents.
A significant part of the role will involve supporting the CEO and Chair with projects and organisational initiatives, coordinating information across the wider team and acting as a central point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.
The role will also support the organisation’s reporting processes, including gathering and quality-checking data from multiple teams and preparing clear, accurate reports for Management Board meetings.
We are looking for an experienced Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant who has previously supported a Director or CEO and is confident managing complex diaries, meetings, travel and sensitive information with a high degree of discretion.
You will bring excellent organisational and coordination skills, outstanding written and verbal communication, and the ability to build strong relationships with people at all levels. Strong IT skills, including Microsoft 365, Excel, Word and PowerPoint, are essential, alongside experience of working with CRM or data management systems and consolidating information from multiple sources.
You will be highly detail-oriented, methodical and accurate, while also being proactive, adaptable and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
A calm, resilient and solutions-focused approach is essential, as is a genuine commitment to environmental issues and a passion for the UK’s National Parks.
