Key tasks include:

- Organising workshops and meetings to support corporate and strategic activities.
- Timely preparation and circulation of agendas and meeting papers and supporting documentation including action logs and progress trackers.
- Producing and circulating accurate meeting minutes for designated meetings.
- Responding to Freedom of Information requests, Parliamentary Questions and Treat Officials
- Supporting senior level visits to UKHO (e.g., Ministers and senior civil servants and military personnel).
- Acting as a decision loggist as part of the UKHO crisis response team.

Additional tasks are:

- Lead on discrete activities, as directed by the Corporate Governance and Secretariat Manager.
- Maintaining professional engagement with the Sponsorship team within MOD.
