About the role

The EA role at GSA is a pivotal position that enables Executive Directors to perform at their best through a blend of high-level organisational support, strategic scheduling, and proactive partnership.

As the interface between Executive Directors and the wider organisation, the EA ensures clear communication, smooth information flow, and strong governance. Responsibilities include effective and efficient inbox management, coordinating complex diaries and committee work, preparing high-quality documentation, managing communications with discretion, and supporting wider team activity.


This is a role for someone proactive, forward thinking, agile, and highly organised ?" someone who can build strong relationships, represent GSA`s values, and create efficiencies that help leaders focus on strategic decision-making. Ultimately, the EA contributes directly to how GSA delivers for colleagues, partners, and residents.
