Job description

As Volunteer Company Secretary, you will be the "conscience of the charity," ensuring that our Trustee and Executive Team operates within its legal and regulatory framework to ensure our beneficiaries receive the highest standard of care and support. 

This is a vital role at the heart of the charity’s operations and offers the opportunity to help shape the governance of a high-impact charity. 

You will provide the bridge between the Board and the executive team, contributing directly to the Trust’s mission by underpinning strong governance and accountability at Board level. By ensuring compliance, transparency, and well-run meetings, you will support the Trustee and executive team to make informed strategic decisions that enhance opportunities, independence, and wellbeing for adults with neuro-disabilities. 

You will:  

  • Manage our core administration, ensuring governance and compliance documents, records and processes are kept up to date; including managing filings with Companies House and the Charity Commission, and managing the conflicts of interest register.
  • Support the Board and CEO with meeting management; helping to prepare agendas, minutes, board packs and maintain a robust rolling action log.
  • Ensure good governance, keeping us aligned with legal and regulatory requirements; always advising best practice and updating the board on the Charity Governance Code.
  • Support the Trustee onboarding process, helping us to stay structured and efficient. 
  • Be the organisational backbone, helping Minstead Trust to stay steady, safe and well run.

What are we looking for?  

  • Commitment to our Mission: an understanding of, or interest in, the challenges faced by those living with neuro-disabilities and a willingness to lead according to our values.  
  • Detail-Oriented: a "right first time" approach to legal documentation.  
  • Discretion: the ability to handle sensitive clinical or financial information with absolute confidentiality.  
  • Ability to think creatively and strategically and exercise good, independent judgement. 

About you: 

  • You’re someone who loves order, clarity and good organisation. 
  • You’re reliable, detail focused and calm under pressure. 
  • You have prior experience as a Company Secretary, Governance Officer, or Senior Administrator, ideally within the UK charity or public sector. (Essential) 
  • You have a high level of digital literacy (e.g., Board portals, MS Teams/Zoom, SharePoint).  
  • You have exceptional minute-taking skills and the ability to synthesize complex discussions into concise, professional records.  
  • You care deeply about people and want to use your skills to make a real difference. 
  • You’re an effective team player. 
  • You’re simply brilliant at keeping things running smoothly!

This role is voluntary, but you will be supported by a professional team across Finance, People & Culture and Administration to ensure you are able to operate effectively.  Reasonable out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed. 

About us: 

Our Vision at Minstead Trust is to live in a society where people with neuro-disabilities enjoy fulfilling lives of their own choosing.

Our Mission is to support them to fully develop their individual potential by providing opportunities, enhancing life skills, ensuring informed choice, and influencing society 

We encourage all our volunteers to uphold our values and to embrace who we are:
