Governing Body Secretary

St Hilda’s College would like to appoint an experienced governance and administration professional to join us as Governing Body Secretary.

The work of the Governing Body Secretary is wide-ranging in order to support the diverse business of the College. Underlying this role is an in-depth understanding of College Statutes, By-laws, policies and procedures, enabling the Governing Body Secretary to provide well-reasoned and appropriate advice to the College’s Governing Body and Committees.

The Governing Body Secretary is a senior and responsible administration position, offering the opportunity for involvement at the heart of the College’s business in a challenging and fast-paced environment. It will suit a person who would enjoy being part of a high-performing and close-knit community.
