Department

BBC Outreach is looking for an Assistant to the Head of Department. This role is a key part of a small but busy department. BBC Outreach brings the BBC closer to its audiences, particularly those that have traditionally been harder to reach, through face-to-face events, community support and staff volunteering. It also leads on the BBC’s wider corporate responsibility work and reporting. This is a chance to be part of an enthusiastic team which is passionate about bringing positive change and opportunity to communities and individuals across the UK

Role

Your role will be to provide the highest standard of secretarial and administrative support to the Head of Department and be the focal point of contact and liaison between the Head of Department and colleagues across the BBC, voluntary sector organisations, and local partners. You'll plan, organise and re-schedule diaries, effectively managing time and preparation for meetings. You’ll ensure that the departmental admin is run efficiently and effectively and take responsibility for individual Outreach projects and event support. You’ll also work with volunteers from inside and outside the BBC.

Requirements

We're looking for someone with substantial secretarial and administrative experience at a senior level with demonstrable experience of managing a constantly changing diary. You'll demonstrate an ability to handle confidential information with tact and sensitivity, as well as thorough knowledge of office systems and procedures. You’ll enjoy working as part of a team and have excellent communication and influencing skills
