Job description

Executive Assistant

A fast‑growing healthcare company dedicated to putting the customer at the heart of everything we do. We’re on an ambitious growth journey, and we’re looking for a highly organised, proactive, and strategically minded Executive Assistant to support our Managing Director and leadership team.

The Role

This is more than a traditional EA role. You will act as a trusted partner to the leadership team — managing schedules, communications, and logistics while anticipating needs, streamlining priorities, and supporting strategic initiatives. You’ll ensure the leadership team can focus on what matters most, making a real impact on the company’s growth and success.

Key Responsibilities

Email, Schedules & Calendars

  • Coordinate and manage the daily schedules of the MD and leadership team, ensuring all meetings, appointments, and deadlines are seamlessly organised.
  • Act as the gatekeeper for the leadership team, balancing priorities and commitments effectively.
  • Manage incoming emails — filtering between action, informational, and junk — with a goal of responding directly to 50% of actionable correspondence.
  • Anticipate the MD’s needs and proactively flag conflicts, priorities, and opportunities.

Communication & Correspondence

  • Draft, review, and manage all forms of communication on behalf of the leadership team, including emails, reports, and presentations.
  • Serve as the main point of contact for internal and external communications, ensuring prompt, professional, and effective responses.
  • Facilitate communication between the leadership team and other departments, ensuring alignment and clarity.
  • Administrative & Strategic Support

  • Provide comprehensive administrative support including document preparation, data entry, and file management.
  • Handle confidential and sensitive information with absolute discretion.
  • Prepare briefing packs, summaries, and presentations to ensure leadership are fully informed for meetings and decisions.
  • Support strategic projects and track actions and deadlines arising from leadership meetings.
  • Identify opportunities to improve systems, workflows, and processes across the organisation.
  • Travel & Meeting Arrangements

  • Organise and manage all travel logistics — flights, accommodation, itineraries — for the leadership team.
  • Prepare detailed meeting agendas and materials, ensuring participants are fully briefed.
  • Coordinate logistics for internal and external meetings, including venue bookings, catering, and technology setup.
  • About You

  • Highly organised, proactive, and strategically minded.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, switching seamlessly between detail and big-picture thinking.
  • Confident handling confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
  • Tech-savvy, with experience using CRM, project management tools, and data dashboards.
  • Previous experience supporting senior leadership or C‑suite executives preferred.
  • You thrive in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment and can anticipate needs, connect dots, and make things happen.
  • Top Traits We’re Looking For

  • Strategic Thinker : You can see beyond the calendar and anticipate the needs of the leadership team.
  • Exceptional Organiser : You thrive on structure and can manage multiple complex priorities simultaneously.
  • Trusted Professional : You handle confidential information with absolute discretion and integrity.
  • Problem Solver : You take initiative, find solutions, and make things happen without waiting to be told.
  • Effective Communicator : You can engage confidently with people at all levels, clearly and professionally.
  • Why Join Us

    With us, you’ll join a close‑knit, ambitious team that values initiative, excellence, and collaboration. You’ll play a pivotal role in helping the leadership team drive the business forward, with opportunities to shape processes and make a real impact in a growing company.

    Seniority level : Mid‑Senior level

    Employment type : Full‑time, Job function : Health Care Provider, Industries : Hospitals and Health Care
