Executive Assistant to Chief Executive

Reference : About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and highly organised Executive Assistant (EA) to provide exceptional support to our Chief Executive. This is a busy and varied position that will suit a proactive professional who thrives on juggling priorities and building trusted relationships.

  • Provide seamless, high-level executive and administrative support, including proactive diary and email management.
  • Coordinate Senior Leadership Team (SLT) meetings - prepare agendas, collate papers, take minutes and track actions.
  • Support Board and Committee meetings - manage schedules, prepare materials and minute meetings.
  • Draft and review reports, presentations and correspondence on behalf of the CE.
  • Organise events from small internal meetings to large functions of 150+ attendees, ensuring they are on-brand and within budget.
  • Lead and mentor the Business Support Centre support function to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years' experience in a senior Executive Assistant or similar role.
  • Outstanding communication and relationship-management skills with a professional, discreet approach.
  • Exceptional organisational ability and attention to detail, with the capacity to manage multiple priorities.
  • Proven experience in minute taking (experience with fireflies.ai or similar, an advantage) and assisting preparation of board reports and meeting documentation (via Diligent).
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset—anticipating needs and taking initiative.
  • Calm under pressure, adaptable and resourceful, with a sense of humour to help navigate challenges.
  • Strong technical skills across MS Office and modern collaboration tools.

    • Experience in the retirement village or aged-care sector is an advantage but not essential.

    At Selwyn, our work is guided by The Selwyn Way —our values of faith, independence, care and wellness . You'll be part of a highly respected organisation that makes a real difference in the lives of older people, while working alongside a collaborative, supportive senior team.
