Are you a qualified Chartered Company Secretary with experience in a listed plc environment?


We’re looking for an accomplished Assistant Company Secretary to join our team in St Albans. This is a varied and influential role, offering exposure to Board and Committee governance, listed company compliance, share schemes, annual reporting and subsidiary governance.

  • Assist with the design, production and distribution of the Annual Report, including drafting the Directors’ Report and Corporate Governance Statement.
  • Work with stakeholders across the business to prepare relevant sections of the Strategic Report.
  • Support the administration of executive and all-employee Group share schemes, including grant and vesting processes, employee benefit trusts, participant queries and record-keeping.
  • Help prepare Board and Committee calendars, agendas, papers and meeting packs.
  • Support the planning and co-ordination of the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
  • Monitor and co-ordinate the investigation of cases raised through the Group’s independent whistleblowing helpline and draft reports for the Audit Committee.
  • Support subsidiary governance and compliance, including statutory records and filings, financial statement approvals, minutes and resolutions.
  • Contribute to corporate activity such as acquisitions, disposals and internal restructuring projects.

What we need from you?

You’ll be a qualified Chartered Company Secretary with strong experience gained within a listed plc environment.

You will also bring:

  • Strong knowledge of the Companies Act 2006, UK Corporate Governance Code, UK Listing Rules, Disclosure and Transparency Rules and Market Abuse Regulation.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create clear, concise and professional communications for different audiences.
  • The confidence and credibility to work with senior stakeholders.
  • The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and deliver at pace.
  • Sound judgement and a professional, discreet approach to confidential and sensitive matters.
  • The capability to deputise for the Senior Assistant Company Secretary when required.

What we offer you in return?

  • Competitive salary and bonus
  • Up to 7.5% pension
