Executive Assistant

£37k per annum
Temporary, Full-time

Can you see yourself at the heart of one of the world's leading museum groups, supporting senior leaders and helping to deliver work that inspires millions of visitors every year?

About us

At the Science Museum Group (SMG), we inspire futures by encouraging people of all ages to explore and engage with science, technology, engineering and maths through our world-class collections, museums and award-winning exhibitions.

We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and detail-oriented Executive Assistant to provide exceptional support to our Director of Audiences and Chief People Officer.

This is a full-time role based at the Science Museum, working 35 hours per week with hybrid working available.

About the role

As Executive Assistant, you will provide efficient executive assistant level support to two Executive Directors (Director of Audiences and Chief People Officer) and the varied projects and teams they oversee.

Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you'll support internal engagement initiatives delivered by the Communications and People & Culture teams, help maintain effective administrative processes, and build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. Throughout your work, you'll champion inclusive ways of working and contribute to a positive, collaborative culture.

This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with senior leaders in one of the world's most respected museum groups. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of projects and initiatives, contribute to work that inspires millions of visitors, and play an important role in supporting both our audiences and our people.

About you

By joining us, you will have experience working as an Executive Assistant, PA or in a similar senior administrative role supporting a Director or senior leader. You are highly organised, meticulous, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a busy environment.

You bring effective communication skills and are adept at working with a wide range of stakeholders, exercising tact, discretion and good judgement at all times.

You enjoy being part of a collaborative team, take pride in keeping things running smoothly, and are motivated by contributing to the success of a mission-led organisation.

Don't feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn't match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.

What we offer

Working with a world-leading museum group that offers access to truly unique environments and collections, you'll benefit from the perks listed below, as well as full support for life events such as parental and adoption leave, sickness, and career breaks.

* Meaningful work. We're a mission-led organisation where the work you do supports us in Inspiring Futures.
* Career growth. We offer enhanced support with personal and professional development.
* Work/life balance. We offer 27 days annual leave in addition to bank holidays, along with flexible policies which support you and your home life.

* Wellbeing. All our colleagues can access an employee assistance programme and other wellbeing support.
* Colleague networks. Our colleague-led networks are an informal forum for colleagues to come together to discuss topics of shared interest and lived experience. They create a space for people to exchange ideas, discuss best practice, socialise and build a sense of community.
* Enhanced contributory pension. To support you in saving for the future.
* Interest-free loans. When you need a little extra cash for life events or home improvements.
* Great discounts. Free entry to exhibitions, discounts in our shops, cafes, and access to other museums in the NMDC network.

Open for All is one of the Science Museum Group's five core values and sets out our important aspiration to be a place for everyone. We are working hard to understand our organisation better and to develop a culture that recognises and values different backgrounds, mindsets, skills, experience, knowledge, and expertise. By having greater diversity, we believe that we will be a stronger and better organisation, capable to continue to Inspire Futures.
