Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting a wonderful charity in recruiting a Senior Executive Coordinator. This is an exciting opportunity to join an established, award-winning organisation working across the West Midlands to support migrants, refugees, and vulnerable people. As the organisation continues to grow and develop its services, this is a pivotal role providing high-level support to its senior leadership team and Trustee Board, helping to strengthen executive effectiveness, governance and organisational accountability. Offered on a permanent, full-time basis, the position is predominantly office-based in Birmingham, with the flexibility to work from home one day a week. There will also be occasional travel to other sites across the West Midlands. The Senior Executive Coordinator will work particularly closely with the CEO and Executive Director of Services, taking responsibility for complex diary management, coordinating competing priorities and ensuring senior leaders are fully prepared for key meetings and commitments. You will play a central role in supporting the effective operation of the Trustee Board, including preparing agendas and papers, attending meetings and producing accurate, high-quality minutes. Beyond traditional executive support, you will maintain oversight of key decisions, actions and deadlines, ensuring commitments are followed through and potential risks or issues are identified and escalated appropriately.
