3687Head of Local Governance Peterborough/HybridPermanentAssistant Company Secretary, Senior Assistant Company SecretaryOur client is a large, and growing, group of schools who are now looking to bring on a new Head of Local Governance into the organisation as the current post holder is retiring. The role is offered on a full time, Permanent basis and can be done remotely with the occasional travel to London and Peterborough where the Head office is located.

The Head of Local Governance is responsible for ensuring effective local governance across all of the academy and independent schools. You will work closely with Trustees, the Executive Team, Company Secretary and Regional Directors to ensure that our local governing bodies are well-led and have the information, advice, guidance and support they need to carry out their roles effectively in support of school improvement and in a way that is aligned with group strategy. You will provide expert advice and guidance to Chairs of LGBs and to Headteachers in support of strong local governance, helping colleagues to build effective relationships and handle their responsibilities diligently.

You will ensure that LGB Chairs and members have access to appropriate training, including in relation to specific roles and responsibilities (for example: exclusions, complaints, safeguarding, health and safety and the role of governors during inspections), drawing on the expertise of others across the group where necessary. You will work with Headteachers and LGB Chairs to ensure that all LGBs have access to independent and professional clerking services.

You will act as an advocate for local governance within and beyond the group, learning from and sharing best practice as appropriate. The post holder will also support the Company Secretary to manage other areas of responsibility – supporting effective governance, compliance and information management more widely – and will have some line management responsibilities.

About You
You will be an experienced local governance professional with strong knowledge and understanding of current practice (including in relation to compliance). You will be confident in supporting schools in a wide range of contexts (ideally across both primary and secondary phases and across the independent and academy sector) and in providing expert advice and guidance to senior leaders at all levels. You will understand what it takes to provide effective local governance in a multi-academy trust and will be committed to the development of an effective volunteer workforce, including through training and building strong networks.

You will be passionate about the importance of local governance in driving school improvement and in promoting the interests of children and young people. You will be able to influence others – including in sensitive and challenging circumstances – maintaining strong relationships with colleagues at all levels. You will be highly organised and used to managing your own time and priorities, delivering a high quality service at all times. You will have a strong commitment to your own and to others’ development, to bringing out the best in your team and in your colleagues and to promoting a culture of continuous improvement.

If you are interested in joining a team that is committed to making a real difference to children and young people and meet the person specification, we would very much like to hear from you.

A competitive salary is on offer and a full job description is available upon request.

3688Part time Deputy Co Sec (c. 0.5 day per week)London SW1/RemoteFixed TermDeputy Company SecretaryOur client is a social enterprise set up in 2017 to help improve access to life-changing medical innovations at an affordable price. It now seeks an experienced company secretary to assist the General Counsel & COO and act as his right hand person – with the primary focus on attending/minuting all Board and Audit Committee Meetings.
The Deputy Secretary attends and takes minutes at all Board meetings (four meetings a year) and Audit Committee meetings (also four a year), and associated preparation and follow up work. (OnBoard Meeting Software is used, the GC’s PA prepares the Board Packs/and handles associated meeting admin). The Deputy also handles all corporate filings. There are three other Board committees, with 8 directors. The team are also currently carrying out a board effectiveness review which may require additional implementation work.
This is envisaged as a part time (0.1 FTE = c.0.5 days a week) role for someone to join them on a rolling, ongoing 12-month consultancy basis, so would be ideal for someone looking to add another client to their portfolio. The role does not necessitate any fixed day per week, rather that it would bulk for a full day or two around the specific Board/Committee meeting dates, so you would need to be available to support the prep ahead of the meeting (draft action points etc), and attend the meeting on the day, and then write up the minutes afterwards. ‘Attend’ on the day would be virtual in more than half the cases (6 out of 8 meetings) since all Audit Committee meetings are virtual, so most of this can be handled wholly remotely, only 2 of the 4 annual Board meetings are in person. One is a full day meeting in the London office, another an offsite two-day meeting (which includes a Board Strategy Day), and the other two are held as virtual meetings.
Our client is independent and does not seek to make a profit, with any operating surpluses invested into developing new agreements to accelerate access to healthcare.
This role would suit a candidate with a proven record acting as a Company Secretary, administrator or finance professional in a private or public company, with extensive Board Meeting experience.
A full job description is available on request, do get in touch if you would be interested in exploring this role and becoming part of this incredibly impressive company, a small organisation with the passion and ambition to achieve huge impacts by innovating and doing things differently.
