Principal Consultant at Harris Hill - Charity Recruitment Specialists

Are you a sharp, energetic, and adaptable governance professional who thrives on supporting effective leadership, strong compliance, and smooth organisational operations? Harris Hill is delighted to be working with an international educational charity that has a long-standing mission to empower young people through the life-changing skills of oracy, critical thinking, and dialogue, in their search for a Senior Governance Officer. This part-time (3 or 4 days per week), permanent role offers flexibility in both working patterns and hybrid work arrangements.

This is a key role at the heart of the organisation’s Corporate Services team, supporting the Chief Operating Officer and Board of Trustees to ensure high standards of governance and compliance. You will play a central role in preparing and circulating Board and Committee papers, taking clear and accurate minutes, maintaining registers, supporting audits, and tracking progress on key actions. You will contribute to risk assessments, ensure regulatory requirements are met, and provide trusted administrative support to the COO. The post holder will support the organisation through the annual audit and Board effectiveness review, liaise with legal advisors for due diligence checks, and ensure all statutory and regulatory requirements are met.

We’re looking for someone with a solid understanding of corporate governance, compliance, and charity regulation, as well as experience supporting Boards and senior leadership. You will be experienced in preparing for and minuting Board and Committee meetings, able to manage multiple projects to deadline, and confident in upholding high standards of compliance and confidentiality. Tact, discretion, and strong interpersonal skills are essential, as you’ll be working closely with senior leaders and trustees.

Candidates must bring not only precision and professionalism but also a collaborative mindset and a can-do attitude. You’ll need to be flexible, responsive, and enthusiastic about the organisation’s vision and mission.

A background in the charity sector is highly desirable, though candidates with strong relevant experience from education or similar sectors are also encouraged to apply.
