The post holder will provide advice and support to staff, Directors and Governors on matters of Corporate Governance. You will be part of a small Foundation Trust Officer team.
The postholder will provide a full, professional secretariat service to the Trust’s Finance and Commercial Committee and Audit and Risk Committee, in addition to other Board and Committee responsibilities. The role requires demonstrable knowledge and experience of supporting senior-level finance, commercial, audit and risk discussions. Applicants must have a practical understanding of financial reporting, governance frameworks, internal control, risk management, and commercial matters to effectively service these Committees. This is not a purely administrative role; the postholder must be confident working with complex financial information and engaging with executive and non-executive directors at Board level.
This role will involve considerable contact with the Chairman, Non-Executive and Executive Directors, Governors and senior staff within the organisation.
You will be expected to meet tight deadlines whilst maintaining a high standard of accuracy. You should already have highly developed minute writing skills. You should have experience of dealing sensitively with information of a confidential nature.
