ActionAid is an international charity that works for the human rights of women and girls living in poverty.
We put the human rights of women at the heart of all we do, because the denial of women’s rights is one of the biggest causes of poverty worldwide, and a grave injustice. Our aim is to seek transformative changes in the lives of women. We do that by supporting their leadership and agency, their organisations and networks in order to help improve their lives for the long-term.
ActionAid Ireland’s strategy sets out our priorities: To address the systematic and structural causes of gender-based violence; promote women’s leadership in humanitarian contexts; amplify feminist alternatives for economic & climate justice; diversify funding, inspire and engage our supporters. We are committed to being anti-racist in our storytelling and fundraising.
We are seeking to recruit a part-time Executive Assistant (approximately 10 hours per week) who will provide crucial support in delivering our ambitious strategy and achieving our mission. The Executive Assistant will develop and deliver comprehensive organisational, administrative and management support to the CEO and Senior Leadership Team as required. Internally, the Executive Assistant will oversee the CEO’s dairy, scheduling, support for preparing board reports, minute taking, drafting memos, general office management and assist with HR administration. Externally, the person will engage with contractors, consultants and key partners to maximise value for the organisation but also in a highly professional manner.
The successful applicant will have experience in a similar role, the person should be highly organised and proactive, hawk-like in attention to detail, with the ability to keep several projects on track at a time.

Feminist Leadership
Our transformative vision of a just world free from poverty, oppression and patriarchy requires transformative feminist leaders: leaders who enable others to lead, building power with them instead of over them. To develop this approach, we have adopted a set of feminist leadership principles.
We are embracing feminist principles not only because they are consistent with what we do, but also because we know that they are vital to the success of our mission.
We embody these feminist principles through our behaviour in all aspects of our work and our workplace culture, while acknowledging that this is a journey of continual improvement. Read more here.
