@jenniemcsorley
I support charity leaders with executive administration, governance, board coordination and complex diary management.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Team at Leeds Women's Aid, managing complex diaries, inboxes, board meetings, governance processes and confidential documentation.
Previously at Karma Nirvana, I supported the Director and coordinated office operations, training programmes, recruitment administration, and campaign events. I helped deliver a high-profile Parliament event attended by more than 120 parliamentarians.
My earlier insurance underwriting career at Markel strengthened my analytical judgement, commercial awareness and ability to manage confidential, competing priorities. I also built customer relationships and coached colleagues at Direct Line Group.
Alongside my employed roles, I run a wellbeing business as a qualified yoga teacher, planning classes, retreats and festival wellbeing experiences. I bring organised, discreet and people-focused support to fast-paced mission-led teams.
