We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Admin Assistant to join a global organisation supporting excellence in boarding schools. This is a newly created remote role, primarily supporting the Deputy CEO/COO, alongside one additional Director. This is a fantastic opportunity for a candidate who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys building trust and being a true right hand, and a role which offers career development if desired. The dominant Principal is bright, engaging, humorous, and extremely driven, operating at a very high pace, so this role would suit someone equally motivated, adaptable, and solutions-focused.
This is a wonderful opportunity to join a purpose-led organisation doing meaningful work globally, whilst enjoying flexibility, autonomy, and the chance to become an integral part of a growing team.
Key responsibilities will include:
• Complex diary and inbox management
• Preparing meeting packs, presentations, and supporting documentation
• Administrative and organisational support across multiple projects
• Coordinating meetings and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations
• Helping to manage priorities within a high-growth environment
The organisation works to maintain standards in safeguarding, inclusion and health education. There will be occasions where the exposure to concerning safeguarding issues are unavoidable, therefore we are looking for someone with resilience and compassion.
The role is fully remote and offers genuine flexibility around working hours, including school runs, appointments, or other commitments. While the position is ideally full-time, applications from candidates seeking a 4-day working week will also be considered.
The successful candidate will be:
• Exceptionally organised with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working at pace and managing a heavy workload
• Self-motivated and confident working remotely
• Proactive, resourceful, and calm under pressure
• In possession of positive energy, either re-shaping a career or at the beginning!
*We appreciate every application but are unable to respond individually to every one, due to the high volumes we receive*
