We are recruiting into the post of PA to the CEO, who will be a pivotal point of support for our CEO, the Board and other Strategic Leadership Team members, embracing our shared value to deliver excellent governance and support to the organisation and the young people we serve. 

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, Monday 19 August 2024.

We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from minoritised ethnic groups, Muslim and male candidates as they are currently under-represented in our organisation.

Your line manager will be our CEO.

At 1625ip we are led by our Competency Development Framework. This connects our values to our behaviours in everything we do and gives us the tools to develop.
