About The Westminster Foundation
The Westminster Foundation provides long-term, sustainable support to vulnerable children, young people, and their families. Primarily a place-based funder in Westminster, Chester, Lancashire and Sutherland, we build meaningful partnerships with local charities rooted in their communities. Our focus is early intervention, identifying and addressing risks before they escalate, so children and young people get the support they need at the moments it matters most. Our work goes beyond funding.
We work alongside our partners to strengthen their organisations, encourage collaboration, and address the systemic conditions that hold deep-rooted problems in place. We amplify young people’s voices and listen closely to those on the frontlines, ensuring our work stays grounded, responsive, and impactful. We are proud to serve as the primary charitable vehicle for the Duke of Westminster and Grosvenor businesses, uniting resources, relationships, and shared purpose to build brighter futures.
About the Role
We are looking for a Personal Assistant to provide proactive executive and administrative support to the Westminster Foundation Director and wider team, enabling effective diary management, governance, stakeholder engagement, communications and day-to-day operations.
Benefits
Along with a competitive salary, you will also receive a range of benefits including a very generous non-contributory pension, life assurance, 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays, and other benefits and discounts via our employee benefits platform.
