*Full-time* Executive Assistant (EA) for CEO of a life changing online coaching school

Nathan Blair is the Founder of The Somatic School and is seeking a superstar Executive Assistant (EA) as his trusted ally and anchor.

This is a rare opportunity to work alongside a CEO and join a small (<20 people), profitable and growing company that’s achieving great things and making a meaningful impact in the world.

About the role:
A business owner with ADHD, Nathan cannot deliver life-changing experiences for the customers of The Somatic School without assistance. For someone with ADHD, the skills of a competent EA/PA/VA are the skills that Nathan lacks: organisation, execution, time management, prioritisation, follow-through, attention to detail, administrative structure, deadline management, task tracking, scheduling, inbox management, and process optimisation.

We are seeking a highly organised, attentive, and warm-hearted individual to work closely with Nathan as his support and lifeline. We offer a rare career opportunity for the right candidate. You will be a true member of The Somatic School team and will have opportunities to personally learn and develop as you work closely with the CEO and visionary behind the business.

To do well as an EA for The Somatic School’s Founder, you will be highly pro-active, incredibly attentive, supremely organised, emotionally intelligent and a proficient English speaker/writer. The salary is very competitive and we offer a great opportunity for someone wanting to work remotely on Israeli timezone (Nathan is British, but lives in Israel).

About The Somatic School:
At The Somatic School we’re on a mission to help coaches access the wisdom of their bodies to become more confident, well-rounded helping professionals.

Most coaching frameworks focus on the thinking mind, ignoring what the body is trying to communicate. The Somatic School teaches a body-and-mind-as-one approach to coaching. By helping coaches learn a powerful body-oriented framework they are able to help their clients become wholly themselves and feel fully alive.

We are the UK’s first ICF accredited somatic coach training school and have a diverse community of coaches from all around the world.

Joining The Somatic School:

We’re looking for people who fit our values.
1. Service: In giving we receive Everything we do is in service of creating uncommonly beautiful experiences for our participants. We believe these experiences don’t just benefit the participants, but everyone involved - now and in the future. When the act of service itself is a joy, everybody wins.
2. Generosity of Spirit: In receiving we give At The Somatic School we believe that the spirit with which we receive other people has the power to support genius or diminish it. How can we be a generative presence in our interactions to bring out the best in each other? Every encounter counts.

4. Professionalism: Three Ps in a pod At The Somatic School we recognise the extent of our impact. Punctuality: We’re on time because it sets the tone. Preparation: We come prepared so we can be present and contribute. Presentation: We’re mindful of the aesthetic, pace and tone of everything that we do because everything is a communication.
5. Response-ability: If it isn’t resonant, it isn’t right For us, response-ability means listening for the feeling of inner rightness. We don’t proceed unless it feels like a fit. If it doesn’t feel right, we pause and check-in, speaking truthfully with care and curiosity for ourselves and each other. Response-ability is our responsibility.
6. Inclusion: No person (or part) left out All are welcome and all parts of all people are welcome too. Whether spiritual or secular, scientist or creative - you’re welcome here. Regardless of socio-economic background, ethnicity or culture - you’re welcome here. Good to go or ready for rest; a great success or a struggling mess; mad, sad or glad - it’s welcome here.
7. Simplicity: When it stops being simple, stop. Simple. At The Somatic School less is more. We begin everything with simplicity in mind. The more time we spend on something, the simpler it should become. If it’s not simple, we stop and simplify.

We don’t just ‘say’ these are our values. We live by them and use them all the time - to recruit the right people, manage individual performance, recognise good practice, and make decisions.
