  • Ensuring compliance with the Charity Commission, Companies House and relevant UK charity regulations.

  • Maintaining statutory records and governance policies.

  • Managing and developing the organisation's governance framework and risk register.

  • Providing governance and project support to the CEO and Executive Leadership Team.

  • Supporting board development, trustee induction and governance improvements.

  • Monitoring legislative and regulatory changes, ensuring the organisation remains compliant.

About You

We're looking for someone who brings:

  • Proven Company Secretary and governance experience within the charity sector.

  • Strong knowledge of Charity Commission requirements, charity law and governance frameworks.

  • Experience supporting Boards of Trustees and senior leadership teams.

  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

  • Strong communication skills and the confidence to advise senior stakeholders.

  • Experience of risk management and governance policy development.

  • High levels of integrity, discretion and attention to detail.

What's on Offer

  • £250-£300 per day (Inside IR35).

  • Part-time opportunity (3-4 days per week).

  • Hybrid working with 1-2 days per week in the London office.

  • Initial 3-6 month contract with the potential to become permanent.

  • Immediate start available.

  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a well-respected charity.

If you're an experienced governance professional with charity sector expertise and are available to start at short notice, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today for immediate consideration.
