NHS Business Manager/Executive Assistant

Company: Huntress
Apply for the NHS Business Manager/Executive Assistant
Location: Worthing
Job Description:

We’re recruiting on behalf of an NHS client for an experienced and highly organised Business Manager to provide senior-level support directly to the Chief Nursing Officer and the wider Nursing Directorate.

Please note that this role sits firmly in the executive support space – while the title is Business Manager, the responsibilities are more closely aligned with those of a high-level Executive Assistant than a traditional Project Manager.

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing the Chief Nursing Officer’s diary, priorities, and commitments
  • Leading on performance reporting, data analysis, and producing high-quality reports and presentations for senior audiences
  • Organising and servicing senior-level meetings, including agenda setting, minutes, and actions
  • Supporting service improvement initiatives and monitoring progress against targets
  • Overseeing delegated budgets and providing project management support
  • Line managing administrative staff within the directorate
  • Representing the directorate at internal and external meetings as required
  • Handling sensitive and confidential information with the utmost discretion throughout

What we’re looking for

  • Degree-level qualification or equivalent experience
  • Strong background in business management and performance reporting
  • Experience in project management – PRINCE2 or similar is desirable
  • Ability to analyse and present complex data confidently
  • Advanced MS Office skills, particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
  • Line management experience
  • Excellent organisational, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Someone who can work autonomously and manage competing priorities with confidence

Why apply?

This is a genuinely interesting and impactful role for someone who thrives in a complex, senior environment and wants to contribute meaningfully to NHS nursing leadership. If you’re a polished, proactive, and professional EA or Business Manager looking for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

We are an equal opportunity employer.

PLEASE NOTE: We can only consider applications from candidates who have the right to work in the UK.
