JOB OVERVIEW

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a proactive and commercially minded Junior Virtual Chief of Staff to work directly with the Founder and CEO of a growing group of businesses across healthcare, staffing, cleaning and business education.

This is more than a traditional administrative position. You will help turn ideas and decisions into organised plans, coordinate important projects, conduct research and ensure priorities progress without continuous supervision.

The successful candidate will be resourceful, analytical and confident enough to identify problems, recommend solutions and respectfully challenge unclear priorities.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Convert the CEO’s ideas and instructions into clear action plans.
Manage strategic priorities, projects, deadlines and follow-ups.
Prepare concise daily and weekly executive briefings.
Conduct business, market, competitor and opportunity research.
Draft professional emails, reports, proposals and presentations.
Coordinate communication between the CEO, staff and external contacts.
Prepare meetings and ensure agreed actions are completed.
Help evaluate new opportunities before they reach the CEO.
Support the development of systems, procedures and performance measures.
Protect the CEO’s time by filtering routine matters and highlighting important decisions.
Use AI and digital tools to improve research, communication and productivity.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

Excellent written and spoken English.
Strong critical thinking and problem-solving ability.
Outstanding organisation and project coordination.
Ability to research information and produce concise recommendations.
High initiative, discretion and professional judgement.
Confidence working directly with a busy CEO.
Ability to learn quickly and work across different industries.
Competence with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office and AI tools.

DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE

Previous experience supporting a founder, director or senior executive.
Background in executive assistance, project management, consulting or business analysis.
Experience working with UK-based organisations.
Familiarity with healthcare, staffing, education or service businesses.
Experience using CRM and project-management systems.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

You must have your own reliable computer, smartphone, professional headset, stable internet, backup internet and a private working environment. Company systems, email and cloud telephone access will be provided.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Within three months, the CEO has greater control of priorities, fewer unfinished actions, better-quality information for decision-making and more time for growth, partnerships and strategic leadership.

HOW TO APPLY

Please submit:

Your CV and a short video introduction.
An example of when you solved a business problem without detailed instructions.
A one-paragraph summary of what you believe a Chief of Staff does.
Your computer specifications and internet speed.

The words “Founder Support” at the beginning of your application.

Shortlisted applicants will complete a research and prioritisation exercise before attending a video interview.
