Vacancy: Company Secretary, Board of the Trustees
We're currently recruiting a Company Secretary to join our Board of Trustees to replace our outgoing CoSec.
The ideal candidate should have a background in governance, preferably with professional governance qualifications. Previous experience and / or familiarity with a regulator would be advantageous.
This is a voluntary role. Travel expenses are reimbursable.
Specifically, the Company Secretary will be responsible for:
- Minuting the trustee meetings,
- Compliance with our filing obligations with the Charity Commission and Companies House,
- Working with the Chair of Trustees on the report to the statutory accounts,
- Overseeing and advising the Board of Trustees on the Charity’s governance obligations and policies.
As a Trustee of The Pirate Castle, you’ll also be involved in overseeing our Charity’s strategic management and governance, along with providing support and guidance to the Board and staff team when required. The Charity is structured as a company limited by guarantee and has Directors and Officers insurance in place.
We hold up to 10 evening trustee meetings per annum, usually on a Monday or Tuesday 6.45 – 8.15pm. Most meetings are held virtually, though at least two each year are held at the Charity’s canal side premises in Camden.
Interested candidates should apply with a covering letter and CV (or summary of relevant experience) to: trustees@thepiratecastle.org with “Application for CoSec” in the subject line.
The successful candidate can spend time at the Charity with the onsite team to understand how it operates.
