At the NSPCC, every childhood is worth fighting for.
We're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant who can operate as a trusted partner to two Executive Directors, helping them focus on the work that matters most.
This is far more than a diary management role.
We're seeking a highly organised, proactive, and confident Executive Assistant with experience supporting senior leaders in a complex and fast-paced environment. You'll act as a trusted gatekeeper, manage competing priorities, build strong relationships across the organisation, and ensure our Executive Directors are equipped with the information, support, and insight they need to be effective every day.
What You'll Be Doing
As Executive Assistant, you'll provide high-level administrative support to our Finance and Control Director and our People and Culture Director, acting as their first point of contact and helping maximise their effectiveness.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
- Managing complex diaries, priorities, and requests so leaders can focus on the work that matters most.
- Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and first point of contact, using sound judgement, discretion, and professionalism.
- Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders and coordinating meetings, papers, actions, travel, and accommodation.
- Preparing briefs, research, correspondence, presentations, and reports to support effective decision-making.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is an opportunity to support two senior leaders whose work helps shape the future of the NSPCC. You'll be trusted, valued, and given the opportunity to make a genuine impact through your organisation, judgement, and relationship-building skills.
What We're Looking For
An experienced Executive Assistant who is comfortable operating at senior leadership level and managing multiple priorities with confidence. Outstanding diary management and scheduling skills within a busy and fast-moving environment who has:
- Exceptional organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
- The ability to anticipate needs, solve problems, and make sound decisions independently.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build effective working relationships at all levels.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach with excellent judgement.

But we know it's a competitive world, and it's important to feel valued in your role and receive more practical, tangible benefits. We offer salaries that are at least comparable with the top charities in the UK, as well as these benefits.
