The vacancy
Permanent - 37 hours per week
We have an exciting opportunity for an individual to join our Business Services team and ensure we are providing the highest-level governance support to the business, its Board and Committees.
As a Governance professional, you will manage compliance within company law which will include formal record keeping, providing draft reports for committee meetings and supporting the business in evidencing statutory and regulatory compliance.
You will continually seek improvements in Board and Governance practices, recommending changes in policy and procedures that will improve the service you deliver.
As you will be working with many different individuals across the organisation you will build and maintain effective relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders whilst ensuring the service is customer focused and aligned to the requirements of the business.
You will also get the chance to support in the recruitment, induction and onboarding of Board Members and be their port of call during their time at Alliance Homes, providing them with training and being responsible for their work plans and the minutes from meetings.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with company secretarial or board support experience to take that next step in their career at an agile, forward-thinking Housing Association.
About You
You will already be experienced in Board Support or a company secretarial role and have delivered services in a highly regulated environment.
You will have an ICSA or professional legal qualification (a member or currently studying) or have demonstrable experience.
A great communicator, you will have excellent planning, scheduling and coordination skills.
It would be great if you worked in the Housing sector before, but that is not essential.
We review applications when received, so we may close the vacancy early if we find that perfect candidate. If the role interests you, then apply now.
