Executive Office

The Executive Office provides governance and administrative support to the Board of Trustees and its subsidiary company and charity. We organise a programme of Board and Committee meetings so that the Union’s business is transacted effectively and in a timely way, and maintain the Union’s records with Companies House and the Charity Commission.

We co-ordinate trustee recruitment (for the non-elected roles), training and development and provide some administrative support to the President and Sabbatical officer team.

We're a small but perfectly formed team keeping the wheels of the Union’s governance oiled.

Typical Roles

Executive Support Assistant

This is a part-time role responsible for:

  • record-keeping
  • ordering supplies and services
  • making room bookings and organising catering
  • booking travel and accommodation for Sabbatical Officers and the Strategic Management Team
  • taking notes at working groups such as the Cardiff Safety Summit

What we're looking for:

The roles in the team are very varied so we need multi-skilled administrators with excellent Microsoft Office skills and a great eye for detail and accuracy. PA experience would be a big plus, and we are looking for people who enjoy taking minutes (yes, they do exist!).
