Do you want to play a key role in an organisation which stands up for children? Then join us as Assistant Company Secretary and play a significant role in enhancing and improving the governance structures and mechanisms of Save the Children to help the Board and senior management of SCUK to deliver on the strategic mission of SCUK and the global movement.

At Save the Children, we fight for children every single day. Our support services teams provide leadership and direction in the business of running an efficient organisation. We ensure our resources are used to maximum effect. We go the extra mile - and we don't rest until the work is done.

The Assistant Company Secretary is a vital role and effective governance reporting and oversight is essential to the charity's function, more so than ever when charity boards are having to make increasingly difficult and complex choices on organisational priorities, resources and funding, at a time of a global pandemic when the world's children are likely to be in their greatest need. You will help manage Save the Children UK's strategic engagement with the Board of Trustees, supporting the General Counsel and Company Secretary in all governance matters and working closely with the Board Chair, the Executive Leadership Team, the CEO's team and other key stakeholders to ensure the effective governance of the charity.

A commitment to SCUK's vision, mission and values is essential, as well as the motivation to help every child reach its full potential. Strong interpersonal skills and resilience are also important as is the ability to deal with confidential information with the utmost discretion.

• Experience in high-level project management and excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• The ability to build credibility quickly and to communicate with impact, including influencing at senior management level
• A clear understanding of legal duties, liabilities and responsibilities of the Chair role and that of Board of Trustees more broadly
