Job description

The Board of Scope is seeking a highly organised and proactive part‑time Secretariat Coordinator to provide dedicated support to Trustees, Independent Committee Members and senior leaders.

Fixed term for 12 months

Working 12 hours a week with some flexibility around how the hours are spread across the week and some hours may need to align with scheduled meetings or Trustee availability. This is a pivotal new role designed to increase the Boards operational effectiveness, unlock external relationships, and strengthen communication between Trustees and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).

The post holder will work closely with the Chair, Trustees, Independent members where appropriate and Scopes executive team to ensure high‑impact follow‑through between meetings, improving visibility of board contributions, and supporting strategic external engagement with ambassadors and corporate partners.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in governance support, senior stakeholder coordination, or non‑profit/NGO board facilitation, and who thrives in a diplomatic, behind‑the‑scenes role where confidentiality, attention to detail, political nous and relationship management are paramount.

Responsibilities

• Support the Chair by ensuring Trustees skills are mapped and kept up to date to ensure that Trustees are contributing efficiently and meaningfully to delivering Scopes strategy.
• Coordinate introductions and referrals from Trustees to key partners and potential ambassadors, work with teams to ensure leads are followed up thoughtfully. Maintain a confidential log tracking these important relationships.
• Act as main point of contact between the Executive Leadership Team and Board, promoting open communication through updates and invitations, ensuring prompt responses to Trustee input. Help identify opportunities for Trustees to get involved in internal activities.
• Work with the governance team to track actions and ideas from Board and committee meetings, keep Trustees updated on progress, and arrange interim calls or working groups as needed.
• Share Trustee contact details (opt in), nurture informal connections, and provide support as required, while collaborating closely with the Governance team to ensure theres no duplication of effort.

Qualifications

• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• Highly discreet and trusted to work with sensitive information.
• Experience supporting senior leaders, boards, or high‑level stakeholders in any sector (charity, NGO, public, corporate).
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities efficiently.
• Confidence and diplomacy in liaising with Trustees and executives.
• Strong written communication for briefings and updates.
