About Perth Theatre and Concert Hall:
For more than 125 years, Perth Theatre and Concert Hall have been at the heart of cultural life in Perth and beyond, creating inspiring shared experiences through world-class performances, award-winning programming, and inclusive community engagement projects.
As the charitable organisation behind both venues, Perth Theatre and Concert Hall is committed to ensuring the performing arts remain essential to communities by inspiring, connecting, educating, and enriching the lives of audiences across Scotland.
The organisation champions Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Accessibility (IDEA) and is dedicated to creating an environment where everyone can participate, contribute and thrive.
The Role of Executive Assistant:
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, this is a key role within the organisation's executive function, providing high-level support to the CEO and wider Leadership Team.
As Executive Assistant, you will play a central role in ensuring the smooth and effective operation of the organisation by coordinating leadership activity, governance processes, organisational communications, and strategic priorities. Acting as a trusted coordination point, you will support the CEO in managing competing priorities, maintaining strategic focus, and ensuring clear communication both internally and externally.
The role includes responsibility for diary and meeting management, preparing reports and briefing papers, coordinating projects and organisational priorities, supporting governance and Board administration, arranging travel and events, and maintaining oversight of key actions and deadlines across the organisation.
You will also work closely with Trustees, senior stakeholders, artists, partners, visiting companies and colleagues across all departments, helping to ensure effective communication and collaboration throughout the organisation. In addition, you will line manage the Arts Administrator and support the continued development of efficient administrative systems and processes.
We are keen to hear from highly organised, proactive and professional individuals who have experience supporting senior leaders within a busy and fast-paced environment. You will possess excellent organisational and communication skills, sound judgement, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with discretion and confidence.
Experience supporting senior leadership teams, Boards or governance structures is highly desirable, alongside strong Microsoft Office skills and experience coordinating meetings, reports, agendas and minutes. Experience within the arts, cultural or charitable sectors would be advantageous but is not essential.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected cultural organisation and play a key role in supporting its leadership team as it continues to inspire audiences and strengthen communities through the performing arts.
