Executive Assistant to Chief Executive

Reference : 6813152

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.
