We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

We have an excellent new opportunity for a Company Secretariat Assistant to join our Legal, Regulatory Affairs, Ethics & Compliance, and Secretariat Function (LRECS). LRECS focuses on providing a diverse and inclusive environment with a strong emphasis on wellbeing and delivering opportunities for growth and personal development.

In this role, you will provide company secretarial support to the Secretariat function, which has primary responsibility within Centrica for corporate governance, share scheme compliance, and UK statutory compliance.

Location: We work flexibly in line with our Flexible First working arrangements, believing that empowered colleagues are happier and more productive. The successful candidate will, however, need to be comfortable commuting to our Windsor office weekly and to other locations as needed.

What will you do?

• Assisting with arrangements for the Annual General Meeting.
• Supporting the subsidiary statutory accounts process.
• Preparing corporate information for project tenders.
