Work for a charity in London as a Board Secretariat Coordinator/ Governance Support (can be largely remote, 9-12 hours p/w, £49,950 FTE pro-rata, 12 months).

Role purpose

  • This is a pivotal new role designed to increase the Board's operational effectiveness, unlock external relationships, and strengthen communication between Trustees and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).
  • The role will work closely with the Chair, Trustees, Independent members where appropriate and the charities executive team to ensure high-impact follow-through between meetings, improving visibility of board contributions, and supporting strategic external engagement with ambassadors and corporate partners.
  • Support the Chair in gathering and updating a register of each Trustee's areas of expertise and their preferred avenues of contribution (e.g., media, partnerships, fundraising, policy).
  • Help Trustees articulate specific ways they can support the charities strategy between meetings.
  • Maintain and circulate a light-touch, up-to-date Trustee skill and support map.
  • Board–Executive Liaison: Act as a communication bridge between the ELT and the Board, helping open up informal communication channels (e.g., light-touch updates, invitations to internal events or briefings).
  • Help ensure timely responses to Trustee offers of support or queries to the executive.
  • Light-Touch Governance Support: Circulate contact information for Trustees (opt-in) and help build a culture of informal connection (e.g., short bios, photos, one-click dial-in links).
  • When required, provide governance support in line with needs of the business.
  • Work closely with the Governance Officer and Governance Lead to avoid duplication.

What we look for

  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities efficiently.
  • Confidence and diplomacy in liaising with Trustees and executives.
  • Strong written communication for briefings and updates.
