80% of women do too little exercise to benefit their health and young women feel greater pressure to be thin than healthy. Do you have the appetite and ability to help us change this?

The Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation is the charity that campaigns to make physical activity an integral part of women's and girls' lives. With a rapidly growing national profile and a range of stakeholders across the media, public, private and sport sectors, we are a team looking to the future.

We need a highly motivated and organised Executive Assistant with secretarial and charity governance experience, ideally gained whilst in a similar role. You will provide high calibre support to the Chief Executive and Trustee Board alongside office management to the national team.

You will be a self starter with good knowledge of Microsoft Office, confident verbal and written communication skills and a flexible and committed team player. This fun, but demanding, role will also encompass event, database and website management so relevant skills and experience will be an advantage.

Experience in sport is not essential - a passion for our cause is.

For further details and an application pack contact Carly Duffett on 020 7273 1740 or email info@wsff.org.uk

Closing date: Wednesday 13th August

The Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation actively welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
