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

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.

Highly discreet and trusted to work with sensitive information.
