What I'm looking for

I seek a fully remote role providing governance or executive support—minute taking, board administration, and confidential records management—within an organisation that values reliability and clear communication.

I am a highly experienced governance and administrative professional with a strong secretarial background, excellent organisational skills, and proven ability to manage office systems and protocols to produce accurate work.

I have extensive experience supporting boards, panels and multi-agency meetings, including minute-taking for child protection conferences, case conferences and governance meetings across local authorities and public sector organisations.

I am proficient with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Mosaic, LiquidLogic, CRS Live/Information@work and a wide range of collaboration tools, and I maintain confidentiality while ensuring timely dissemination of records and follow-up actions.

I am proactive, adaptable and able to communicate effectively at all levels; I seek remote roles such as executive/personal assistant, company secretary, clerk to school governors or minute taker where I can contribute governance expertise and reliable administrative support.
