**Job summary**:
**About us**:
The Office for Students (OfS) is the independent regulator of higher education in England. We aim to ensure that every student, whatever their background, has a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers.

**Job description**:
**About the role**:
We are looking for an experienced Senior Governance Officer to provide a high-quality secretariat to our board, Risk and Audit Committee, Remuneration and Nominations Committee, and to our Directors’ Group which is the executive leadership team.

The role sits within the OfS’s Governance team and reports to the Corporate Governance Manager and the Head of Governance, but it requires close working with staff who support the chief executive and chair such as the OfS Chief of Staff.

Partnership working with senior leaders (including the chair and chief executive) and understanding the strategic context that the OfS is working within is key to success in this role, as is the ability to deal with a lot of information at pace, and to exercise good understanding and sound judgment when documenting discussions and decisions.

**Person specification**:
**About you**:
You will be proactive with excellent organisational and drafting skills, take effective minutes, demonstrate attention to detail, and motivate people to deliver required papers on time, balancing diplomacy with tenacity. You will be confident in engaging with a wide range of people including senior external board and committee members. Integrity and discretion are essential as you will manage confidential and sensitive material.

**Benefits**:

- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%
