Morgan Hunt are delighted to be working with a Leading Membership Body in their search for a Senior Governance Officer to provide high-quality governance support, focusing on committee management, governance communications, and the delivery of effective governance policies.



This is an excellent opportunity for a governance professional seeking a permanent, part-time role within a respected organisation. You will take ownership of the full committee cycle for two committees, from planning and preparation through to minute-taking, follow-up actions and ongoing member engagement. You will also play a key role in improving governance communication across the organisation, ensuring colleagues, members and other stakeholders are well informed and supported.



A key part of the role will be supporting the effective management of declarations of interest, gifts and hospitality, and related governance policies. You will contribute to strengthening data collection, collation and transparency in this area, ensuring that policies are implemented consistently and effectively.
