With brilliant, visionary leadership, a dynamic Cabinet and a can-do culture, we’ve built strong partnerships across the borough which have transformed how we serve one of London’s most diverse boroughs.

**Key Responsibilities**:
1.Administrative and organisational support to the board
2.Provision of guidance to ensure that the board works in compliance with the appropriate legal and regulatory framework, and understands the potential consequences for non-compliance.
3.Advice on procedural matters relating to the operation of the board.
4.Provision of accurate minutes to reflect the discussion and decisions taken by the board.
**Your Skills**:
1.You will have excellent organisational skills with a knowledge of minute taking and record keeping.
2.You will be highly organised, confidentially aware and able to keep to deadlines.
3.You will be an effective communicator with strong literacy, numeracy and IT skills.
4.You will have knowledge and experience of governance procedures and legislative requirements or the willingness to attend training and the aptitude to develop this.
**Professional Qualifications**:
1.Degree level or equivalent and/or relevant experience
2.Enhanced DBS check is required
This post is considered by the authority to be a customer-facing position; as such it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers. The council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.
