A bit about the role You will be the statutory Company Secretary of the National Housing Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Homes England. You will be personally supporting the Bank's Board Meetings, its Chair and Directors. With your team, you will also ensure the compliance requirement for our other subsidiary companies as Head of Subsidiary Company Governance. You will work as part of the leadership of our central group governance team, led by our Group Company Secretary and Assistant Director - Governance. Government has set out ambitious plans for Housing and the creation of the National Housing Bank and its status as a National Public Financial Institution (PuFIn) opens up significant financial flexibilities to support the delivery of the Government's Housing mission. Yours will be an exciting role at the centre of this innovation. You will be joining our experienced central governance team, reporting to the Group Company Secretary but will have personal responsibility as Company Secretary to this nationally significant company. Therefore, we are looking for a mixture of sound and practical technical skills and a legal or CGI qualification (or equivalent). You will have confidence and experience in dealing with senior boards operating at a national level and it is likely you will also have experience of equity, guarantees and investments decision making. As ever, maintaining a calm, professional approach, providing sound support to the Chair and Board and getting the job done are the foundations of the job. You will not be alone - you will be part of a highly performing but supportive central governance function - but your personal ability to maintain the trust and confidence of Board members and senior executive colleagues is particularly important. The team believes in delivering a first-class professional service, a delivery focus, taking an innovative and creative approach. We ensure the functioning of sound governance across the group and expect high standards of ourselves and others. And we also believe that this can only be achieved by working in a collaborative, supportive and flexible way - we provide an excellent service but most of all we are an excellent team both to be part of, and to work with. A bit about you As an experienced Company Secretary to the National Housing Bank you will know how to deliver first-class customer service to the NHB Chair and Board. You will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate governance and its delivery. You'll be comfortable supporting a nationally significant public investment body during its formative stages. You will have a real opportunity to help shape the governance practices of the company and the Homes England's wider group. You will be used to working as a trusted advisor to senior Boards, Chairs and members. You will hold a relevant professional qualification and/ or considerable relevant experience. Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn't always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing a range of stakeholders at a senior level. Most of all you will be an excellent team player, team leader and manager. You will make your own contribution to our reputation as a brilliant team to work in and with. As an experienced governance professional, you'll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way. Who are we? We are the Government's national housing agency. Our role is to accelerate the pace of housebuilding across the country, particularly in areas where there are the most serious affordability issues - meaning people are struggling to find homes. We have the appetite, influence, expertise and resources to drive positive market change and meet the Government's ambition to deliver 300,000 new homes a year, helping create great places to live. Within the next few years, we will have invested over £27 billion across our programmes. The National Housing Bank will help us to deliver against these aims we're building a different kind of public service - join us to help make this happen. We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme. If your application is shortlisted to interview, we will require you to provide proof of your right to work in the UK at that stage. Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We are all hybrid working at the moment spending 50% of our time working from home and 50% at our offices which are spread across England. The wellbeing of our colleagues remains one of our top priorities. What we offer We understand how important life is outside of work so, as well as competitive salary and pension and 33 days annual leave, we are totally committed to flexible working. We'll support you, wherever possible, so that you don't miss out on what truly matters to you. If you do ever need a little bit of extra help we have a great employee assistance programme, financial well-being support and access to loads of great discounts with leading high street names. Our range of network groups are also there to support you to truly be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future. If you are a member of a professional body, we'll pay for your membership and once you get your top of the range digital kit, you'll be good to go in one of our great offices.
