About the role:
This maternity cover role offers the opportunity to work in close partnership with the Chief Executive, supporting effective leadership and strong governance at Single Homeless Project. As Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive, you’ll be right where leadership, governance and momentum meet, helping SHP stay focused, responsive and ambitious. You’ll support the organisation to make confident decisions and keep moving forward with purpose, often by ensuring the right conversations happen at the right time and with the right information in the room.
You’ll work closely with the Chief Executive, Executive Management Team and Board of Trustees, bringing clarity and structure to complex priorities. Day to day, this means preparing leaders for meetings, coordinating senior leadership and Board activity, managing the flow of papers, actions and follow-up, and ensuring governance processes run smoothly and transparently. From supporting strategic discussions to keeping track of commitments and decisions, your contribution will shape how the organisation operates and how ideas turn into action. It’s a role that rewards sound judgement, discretion and the confidence to anticipate what’s needed before it’s asked for.
If you’re organised, calm under pressure and motivated by impact, this is an opportunity to make a real difference from behind the scenes. You’ll join a values-led charity that doesn’t stand still, offering meaningful experience at the heart of a mission-driven organisation and the chance to play a vital part in driving lasting change.
This is a hybrid role, typically based in our King’s Cross office two days per week, with flexibility to work from home in line with business needs.
About you:
- You’re highly organised and thoughtful in how you work, with the ability to bring structure and clarity to complex or fast-moving priorities.
- You exercise sound judgement and discretion, and are comfortable handling sensitive information with care, professionalism and confidence.
- You enjoy working closely with senior leaders and Trustees, supporting effective decision-making and strong governance without needing to be in the spotlight.
- You’re proactive and perceptive, able to anticipate what’s needed, follow things through and keep momentum going.
- You’re motivated by purpose and impact, and take pride in enabling others to do their best work within a values-led organisation.
About us:
We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.
In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up.
We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own.
Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.
We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Introduction and Context Keswick Ministries is a Christian organisation based in the heart of the Lake District. Since 1875, Christian believers have gathered in Keswick for an annual Convention where they can Hear God’s Word, Become like God’s Son, and Serve God’s Mission. This summer, we welcomed around 10,000 adults and 3,500 children to the event. The Convention is beloved by Christians across the UK and far beyond, with associated events taking place around the world. It is known for its rich and faithful bible teaching and Christian fellowship in the heart of a beautiful national park. It is completely free to attend, making it as accessible as possible to all. Keswick Ministries is growing: the Convention is becoming increasingly popular for children and young people, and with the acquisition of a fantastic large site in the heart of Keswick we are developing our year-round ministry to serve and bless the church. In addition to the flagship Convention, we also produce resources, both printed and digital, that point to Christ and help with daily discipleship. We have year-round ministry events to feed God’s people. We are also a catalyst for the Keswick Fellowship, a fellowship of Bible Conventions in the UK and around the world that originate or draw their inspiration from the Keswick Convention. By God’s grace, we now have a broad campus of buildings and properties that we use for events throughout the year, both for ministry and commercial use. These are marketed under The Pencil Factory brand. We have a growing events team who host and facilitate this, which is where this current role fits. Letter from the Director of Business Operations How great it is that we get to steward this amazing location and resource. As we seek to do so across the year and thus maintain the home of Keswick Ministries ready for Convention, we host many events: small to large; active to cerebral; local to national. I’m delighted that the events team, under Helen’s leadership, manages this process, and in 2026 we already have more than twice as many bookings as 2025.
