Detail information about job Interim PA to the Chief Executive & Secretary (12 Month FTC). Terms and conditions vacancy

The British Academy – the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences – is seeking an Interim PA to the Chief Executive & Secretary for a period of 12-months, to ideally commence on the 9th of October 2017.*

As the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences, the British Academy champions the study of peoples, cultures and societies – past, present and future. Bringing independence, authority and objectivity to complex issues, we contribute significantly to public policy, skills, education and research and help to shape both society and the economy.

Working closely with the Chief Executive & Secretary, President, Fellows and Committees of the Academy the successful candidate will provide administrative and secretarial support in the central administration of the Academy.

The responsibilities of the post will include: managing the Chief Executive’s diary and providing forward planning to ensure the delivery of the Chief Executive’s strategic and personal objectives, handling correspondence, organising travel, assisting in the preparation of documents, presentations and papers, preparing briefings for meetings and the organising of events.

The successful candidate will have sufficient experience in a relevant role, with good secretarial skills including: accurate typing, first rate analytical skills, drafting and editing skills, attention to detail, good organisational skills and ability to meet deadlines. The post-holder will ideally have experience in managing a staff member, in addition to having exceptional interpersonal skills and a confident personal manner, appropriate for dealing with senior academics, public figures, colleagues and general enquirers.

This is a maternity cover role, offered on a 12-month fixed term contract, at a salary of circa £34k per annum.

It should be noted that the Academy is happy to consider candidates on secondment from other organisations, provided they have secured the parent organisation’s full blessing.

*If a commencement date of 9th of October 2017 is not at all possible then the Academy is willing to reimburse the successful candidate for any days of annual leave they take during their notice period, to carry out an effective handover, so that the transition with the present PA to the Chief Executive & Secretary is as seamless as possible.

The Academy offers 34 days of annual holiday, excellent benefits (including a defined benefit pension scheme) and one of the best locations in London.
