- Establishing, developing and maintaining arrangements and procedures for the sound corporate governance of NHSBT and ensuring that the Board of Directors work effectively and efficiently within its jurisdiction
- Servicing meetings which include Board Committee meetings and producing high-level, formal minutes for approval within tight timeframes.
- Supporting the Company Secretary and Board committee chairs to coordinate Board Committee meetings (including preparing agendas and accurate minutes, following up action points, and making sure meetings run in accordance with prevailing rules).
- Supporting the Company Secretary with all arrangements for Board and Board Committee meetings. This includes identifying meeting locations and hotels, in consultation with Calder, reviewing and analysing purchase orders, and sign off purchase orders to a maximum of £5,000
- Working with the Corporate Governance Manager to manage the coordinating of communications with Board Committee members.
- Assisting with undertaking Board and Board Committee effectiveness review and pulling together data for reporting.
- Contributing to the induction and development of Board Members.

**About You**

**Experience and Knowledge**
- Experience of working with a Board of Directors, coordinating committee meetings and good administrative practices
- Experience of effective and appropriate minute taking
- Experience of planning and organising a broad range of activities in relation to allocated/related projects
- Experience of analysing data to inform reporting and summarising high-level discussion
- Experience of supervising staff
- Experience of working with information technology using Microsoft Office packages (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams and PowerPoint)

**Qualifications and Training**
- Degree plus post graduate diploma or educated to degree level with extensive relevant knowledge and experience
