Executive Assistant

Job description

Do you believe dying people should have the choice of an assisted death? Do you want to work closely with the Chief Executive driving forward one of the most high-profile movements for change in the UK? If yes, we want you to join the teams at Dignity in Dying and Compassion in Dying.

We are seeking a dynamic individual with strong writing skills who wants to contribute to the UK's leading campaign for assisted dying, and a charity leading the way to better dying in the UK. The role would be ideal for someone seeking to become more actively involved in the not-for-profit sector, while gaining a greater understanding of how campaigns work.

You will have a unique opportunity to gain a holistic overview of leading a campaign and a charity; a comprehensive introduction to human resources; and a close-up of the working life of a Chief Executive with insight into managing and motivating teams, fundraising, and leading one of the highest profile campaigns in the UK today.

The role works across both Dignity in Dying and Compassion in Dying. Both organisations share a desire to see individual choice at the heart of end-of-life decision-making. However, while Dignity in Dying seeks to extend patient choice at the end of life by campaigning for assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults, Compassion in Dying empowers patients now to make and record informed end of life choices under the current law. The organisations have separate boards but share a Chief Executive, some staff and premises.
