Full-time | St Andrew’s Private Hospital, Ipswich

St Andrew’s Private Hospital is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to provide maternity leave cover in a full-time capacity, supporting primarily the Chief Executive Officer, with broader support to the Executive team as required.

This role would suit a highly capable, polished Executive Assistant who brings sound judgement, absolute discretion and a calm, methodical approach to their work. You’ll be someone who anticipates needs, takes ownership, and understands the importance of professionalism in a senior healthcare environment.

About the role

Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Executive team, you will provide high-level administrative and secretarial support to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the Executive Office. This is a hands-on role that requires strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities with confidence.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing agendas, taking accurate minutes and maintaining records
• Drafting, formatting and coordinating executive correspondence and documents
• Maintaining confidential filing systems and records
• Coordinating meetings, functions and executive activities
• Liaising effectively with internal and external stakeholders at all levels
• Supporting special projects and ad-hoc executive requirements as needed

About you

You are someone who thrives in an environment where trust, discretion and common sense matter. You take pride in being reliable, thorough and prepared, and you’re known for your ability to think ahead rather than react.

You will bring:

• Demonstrated experience supporting senior executives in a complex environment
• A highly organised and structured approach, with excellent attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence working independently and exercising sound judgement
• A professional, composed manner and a strong sense of confidentiality
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel)
• Experience in healthcare or hospital settings will be highly regarded

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Executive Assistant who enjoys being the backbone of an executive office and values structure, accountability and professionalism.
