The role
Are you looking for a new challenge, a place you’ll be valued, and a team you can make an impact on to achieve common goals? Can you communicate effectively and work with a senior team and senior external stakeholders?
We’re looking for maternity cover (9 months with possible extension) for our Executive Assistant, to support our CEO and two Directors. You’ll share our values, have excellent attention to detail, a strong sense of initiative and an approachable manner.
A big focus of the role is logistical planning, so you’ll support the CEO, Director of Finance & Operations, and Director of Fundraising & Communications to prioritise, forward plan, manage diaries and prep for meetings. We’re a small team at an exciting stage of development, so you’ll get exposure to the strategic overview of the charity and insight into managing teams, fundraising and charity operations. You’ll quickly see the impact you can make within the team and what we’re working to achieve as a charity.
Key details
We are based in our vibrant offices in ORTUS, Denmark Hill, a great place to work and hold events.
We offer a friendly working culture, with the following benefits for our staff (just to name a few):
- Hybrid working, 2-3 days spent with the team at ORTUS/onsite each week and 2-3 days at home/offsite.
- 25 days annual leave, with a further one day after 3 years’ service and a further one day after 5 years’ service. Plus, additional non-working office closure days over the Christmas period.
- Pension scheme with up to 6% employer contribution, subject to a minimum 3% employee contribution.
As a charity, we welcome and value diverse experiences, voices and perspectives, particularly those who come from minoritised communities and/or have direct experience of living with mental illness or a carer for someone living with mental illness.

How to apply
Maudsley Charity removes bias from the recruitment process to ensure fairness. This is done by initially asking interested applicants to answer three competency-based questions – these will be anonymously scored by the panel. You’ll still need a CV to have productive conversations with the Harris Hill Consultant, but CVs will be reviewed by the charity if you score well on the questions.
