Part Time Executive Assistant with Denville Hall:

Contract:     Fixed Term Contract (3 years),
Hours:          Part-time (0.6 FTE / 3 days per week)
Salary:          £43,000 pro rata (£25,800 actual salary)
Location:     Hybrid, with a mixture of home working, Central London and Denville Hall (Northwood, HA6)

About Denville Hall
Charity People is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of Denville Hall, the unique residential home for members of the entertainment profession.

For more than a century, Denville Hall has provided care, support and community to actors, performers, musicians, writers, backstage professionals and others who have dedicated their lives to the entertainment industry. Today, it remains a remarkable place where residents can continue to live creatively, with dignity, companionship and specialist care.  As the charity embarks on an ambitious £26 million Centenary Appeal, raising funds to build two new buildings and secure its future for generations to come, this newly created role offers the opportunity to play a pivotal part in the success of the campaign and the wider organisation.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a traditional Executive Assistant role.

Working closely with the Board Chair and the Campaign Director, you will become a trusted partner, helping to drive forward governance activity, stakeholder engagement and a major fundraising campaign that will shape the future of Denville Hall. You'll provide high-level executive support whilst acting as a key link between trustees, donors, ambassadors, funders, volunteers and industry figures.

No two weeks will look the same. One day you might be preparing board papers and coordinating diaries, another you could be supporting a fundraising event, hosting VIP guests, or attending meetings in Central London alongside senior stakeholders. The role offers a rare combination of strategic executive support, project coordination and stakeholder engagement within a highly visible and purpose-driven environment.

Important to note
Whilst the role is part-time, it requires flexibility. The majority of activity is likely to take place across Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, though occasional flexibility is required around meetings, events and stakeholder commitments.
Could you commit to these three core days, with a caveat of flexibility, when ample notice is given?

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant who can work confidently at senior level and thrive in an organisation where relationship-building, discretion and flexibility are essential.

• Significant experience supporting senior executives, boards or trustees.
• Exceptional diary management, meeting coordination and administrative skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently and remain calm under pressure.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and confidence working with high-profile individuals.
• Strong written communication skills, including preparing reports, presentations and board papers.
• Sound judgement, professionalism and the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information.
• Experience navigating dual reporting relationships and collaborating across different stakeholders would be advantageous.

Experience within the charity sector is not essential. Denville Hall is open to candidates from a wide range of sectors, provided they can demonstrate outstanding Executive Assistant capabilities and a genuine affinity with the organisation's mission.

Why Join Denville Hall?

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.

You'll join a small, passionate team working on a nationally significant fundraising campaign whilst helping to support one of the UK's most cherished charitable institutions.

You'll enjoy genuine variety, splitting your time between home-working, Sommerset House and Denville Hall itself.

You'll work alongside trustees, donors, ambassadors and supporters from across the entertainment world, whilst helping to safeguard a unique community that has provided care and support to generations of performers and entertainment professionals.

You'll also play a part in special fundraising events, concerts and industry gatherings, helping to create memorable experiences for supporters and guests while contributing to the success of a landmark campaign.

If you're looking for a role where your organisational skills, emotional intelligence and professionalism can make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Closing Date:          Friday 13th November 2026

Interviews:              1^st stage - Monday 24^th November (Somerset House)

                                2^nd stage - Friday pm 27^th November (Denville Hall)

Mind in Enfield and Barnet (MiEB) is a local mental health charity, part of the Mind federation. Every week our staff and volunteers support local people through advocacy, talking therapies and counselling, crisis support, wellbeing courses, our Recovery College, and support for parents and families.

We work alongside the NHS, our two local authorities and voluntary sector partners across North Central London, with a team of around 60 staff and 60 volunteers and an annual turnover of around £2 million. Our values – Integrity, Empowerment, Compassion, Equity and Real Change – shape everything we do, from a first conversation with someone in distress to decisions in the boardroom.

Why join us now

Demand for mental health support keeps growing, and so do the expectations on local charities. Our strategy focuses on four things: being sustainable, delivering services that change lives, engaging our communities, and working with partners to change the systems that people with mental health problems rely on. As a trustee, you'll help set that direction, hold us to it, and make sure we stay well run, financially secure and true to our values.

The roles

Co-Chair, with HR and employment law expertise

You'll lead the Board in partnership with our existing Co-Chair and work closely with our Chief Executive. Together, you'll help ensure strong governance, maintain a clear focus on our charitable purpose, support and appraise the Chief Executive, and continue to build a skilled, diverse and inclusive Board. You'll also act as an ambassador for MiEB locally and across the Mind federation.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and our strategy is rooted in creating a compassionate, empowering and inclusive workplace. We are therefore seeking a Co-Chair who is a highly experienced senior HR or employment law professional, with a strong track record of advising organisations at a strategic level on people, culture and workforce matters.

You may be, or have been, an HR Director, Chief People Officer, Head of Employee Relations, organisational development leader or employment lawyer. You'll bring valuable insight to Board discussions on people strategy, organisational development, organisational change, leadership, culture and employment matters, helping to ensure MiEB remains an effective, inclusive and values-led organisation.

You'll bring:

• Significant senior-level experience in HR, people leadership or employment law.
• A strong understanding of workforce strategy, organisational culture and good employment practice.
• Experience of advising boards, senior leaders or committees on strategic people matters.
• Up-to-date knowledge of the employment landscape and evolving people practices.
• Sound judgement, integrity and the ability to provide supportive and constructive challenge.
• The leadership, diplomacy and collaborative style needed to co-chair effectively and build consensus.

A connection to Enfield or Barnet, and an understanding of the voluntary, community, health or mental health sectors, would be welcome.

Trustee

We'd love to hear from people who can add to the Board's mix of skills. Experience in any of these areas would be especially welcome: finance, fundraising and income generation, governance, digital and innovation, marketing and communications, service delivery and quality, or equity, diversity and inclusion.

Who we're looking for

For every role, you'll share our commitment to mental health and our values, and be able to analyse information, ask good questions and challenge constructively, while working as part of a team. We'd particularly welcome:

• people with direct or indirect lived experience of mental health problems
• people from Global Majority communities
• people who live in, or have strong links with, Enfield or Barnet

We want our Board to reflect the communities we serve. If you're excited by one of these roles but don't meet every point, please still apply.

What you'll get

• The chance to use your skills to make a real difference to people's lives, close to home
• A full induction and ongoing training, and a supportive, committed Board and leadership team
• Insight into how a respected local charity, and the wider Mind federation, works
