Company Secretary

ECL has been established for 30 years and exists to enhance the lives of people with learning disabilities and/or autism.

Through our enrichment activities at local community centres, we help people have fun, make friends, learn new skills and be themselves. Our aim is to reduce social isolation for people with learning disabilities and/or autism and to improve feelings of self confidence and self worth. The people who attend our sessions are also developing life skills in a safe and trusted setting, supported by a team of volunteers who are sensitive to their needs.

The governing structure of the charity means that we have a Board of Trustees who meet quarterly to ensure that the organisation is being run efficiently, effectively and compliantly.   We are currently looking for a Company Secretary to join the Board and fulfil the following functions:

-  Administration and compliance

- Preparing for board meetings, four times a year

- Taking meeting minutes

This role is expected to require half a day per month to meet the above requirments.

Experience in the legal, accounting or other professional sectors would be an advantage to this role, however it is not a necessity for the role.  

We are an equal opportunities employer and we positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy status. We are especially keen to encourage applications from people currently underrepresented within the organisation, including but not limited to people from the LGBT+ community, people with disabilities, and people from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background.
