Executive Assistant

What will you be doing?

As an executive assistant, you will support the vice chair of the PO-Raad, who will begin working with you in March 2025. Your responsibilities will include organizing and managing the vice chair’s schedule, appointments, email, and school visits, ensuring that the vice chair’s day runs smoothly and that they are well prepared.

Despite your busy schedule, you stay on top of things and know how to set the right priorities. For every meeting, the documents are complete and all practical details are taken care of. You also have no trouble keeping track of deadlines and agreements.

You will work closely with the vice-chair, the chair’s assistant, and the board and executive secretaries. It is important that you are able to work independently and take the initiative when there is room for improvement or when things do not go as planned. Trust is always the starting point at the PO-Raad.

Who are you?

• You have several years of experience as an executive or administrative assistant.
  
• You quickly identify the vice president’s needs and respond accordingly. In doing so, it is important that you handle competing interests and sensitive information with care.
• You can communicate professionally and clearly with our members, colleagues, and others you encounter in the course of your work.
• You're familiar with Microsoft Office, CRM systems, and scheduling systems like iBabs.
• A bachelor's degree is a plus, but relevant work experience is more important.

What do we offer?

• A 24-hour-per-week position for at least one year, with the possibility of an indefinite extension if we are both satisfied.
• A salary of up to €4,298 gross per month (depending on experience) for a full-time workweek, based on scale 8 of the Collective Labor Agreement for Dutch Universities. The PO-Raad has a 38-hour workweek.
• An end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, 8% vacation pay, and a pension plan through the ABP.
• An internet allowance of €25 per month and a work-from-home allowance.
• 232 vacation hours for full-time employees and the option to accrue additional compensatory leave.
• The option to work both from home and at the office.
• Travel expense reimbursement or an NS Business Card if your commute to our office near Utrecht Overvecht station is more than 10 kilometers.
