Governance Secretary

This is an exciting opportunity for a volunteer to join us in a new role to support the Chair and Trustees with charity governance matters.  We are a growing organisation and the Governance Secretary will provide a service to underpin the running of the charity and ensure we meet our legal requirements.  The post-holder will work with a high degree of autonomy and develop the role in agreement with the Operations Manager, Chief Executive and Chair. They will work from home with minimal supervision and be confident to use their initiative within pre-set guidelines.  

The responsibilities within the Job Description are indicative and not intended to be a full representation of the role.  The post-holder will be encouraged to look for continuous improvement in ways of working and suggest alternative approaches. 

This is not a basic secretarial or admin role, it is specifically to support the Chair,  Trustees and Chief Executive with governance and experience in this area is required.
