Salary: £28,000 per annum (£35,000 FTE)
Location: West Dean, near Chichester

About West Dean
West Dean is a unique organisation, internationally recognised for excellence in arts, conservation, and creative education. With our beautiful Sussex campus and prestigious London site, we offer a dynamic and inspiring environment for students and staff alike.

About the Role
As Project & Executive Support Officer, you will work as part of our small Executive Office team to provide high-quality administrative and project coordination support. You’ll support the Director of Estates with diary and meeting management, while also helping deliver internal projects and processes. This is a varied and rewarding role, offering close involvement in the day-to-day running of the organisation.

What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a collaborative and efficient individual with experience in administration and supporting senior staff. You’ll be confident managing multiple tasks, drafting minutes, tracking actions, and using Microsoft 365. Experience supporting Estates or Facilities functions is a bonus, but not essential. Above all, you’ll be calm under pressure, detail-focused, and committed to providing excellent support.

What We’re Offering

• £28,000 per annum (£35,000 FTE)
• 26.5 days holiday (33 FTE) including bank holidays
• Generous pension scheme (4–7.5% matched contribution)
• Free access to West Dean Gardens and staff discounts
• On-site facilities including library, pool, and tennis courts
• Employee Assistance Programme, free parking and more

If you are passionate about providing exceptional service, fostering a warm and inclusive environment, we’d love to hear from you!  Apply now via Careers at West Dean or contact us with any questions (further details in Candidate Pack).
