Provide professional governance support, including agenda planning, meeting coordination, minute-taking, and action tracking.
Manage independently a portfolio of Committee work and assist the Head of Governance with Board and Executive meetings as required.

Whilst position is offered as a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover an ongoing project within the Governance team, given the scale of our organisation and the ongoing opportunities within Paradigm, there is potential for other roles or extensions to arise. Many of our team members have successfully transitioned from fixed-term positions to long-term roles within the organisation, building rewarding careers. Even if a longer-term opportunity does not emerge, this role provides valuable experience to enhance your career in governance and related fields.
