This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic, multi-faceted environment and thrives on the challenge of ensuring good governance plays a crucial role in delivering on our purpose and vision.


You’ll be instrumental in developing and maintaining a strong system of governance for our organisation, working closely with the Executive Leadership Team and Board of Trustees to help us achieve our strategic goals.

  • Foster collaboration and strong partnerships between central service teams to promote teamwork and cohesion.
  • Capture, evaluate, and report data to demonstrate Brandon’s impact in line with our strategic objectives.
  • Translate the organisation’s strategy into actionable plans, tracking progress to ensure alignment with goals.
  • Lead and deliver a corporate office function, supporting the CEO, Chair, and ELT through streamlined business management and administration systems.


Why we think you'll love this role:


  • You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the governance and impact function of a purpose-driven organisation.
  • It’s an opportunity to lead a central function that directly contributes to our mission of empowering people with different abilities.
  • This role could be the perfect springboard for your career, offering a clear pathway towards future opportunities such as Chief of Staff or Company Secretary as you grow and develop your leadership expertise.
  • You’ll collaborate with a forward-thinking, supportive team that values innovation and partnership.
  • You’ll have the autonomy to bring your ideas to life and drive meaningful change within the organisation.
  • Flexible working options that support a positive work-life balance.
  • A real focus on personal and professional growth, offering you a fulfilling and impactful career.


What you’ll bring:


We’re open-minded about the background you come from or your education route—what matters most to us are your skills, competencies, and passion for good governance. We know that a perfect candidate who ticks every box doesn’t exist, so if you’re excited by the role and can do most of the below – please get in touch. You could be exactly what we need

  • Experience working with regulatory frameworks and producing high-quality compliance evidence.
  • The ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, fostering collaboration and partnership.
  • A passion for working with data to inform decision-making and drive performance improvements.
  • A solution-focused mindset, with excellent organisational and administrative skills.
