Job Details

About us 

We’re Abri, a housing association based in the south of England. One of the largest in fact. We've got 35,000 homes and 1,500 colleagues. And if all our 80,000 residents lived in the same place, we’d have a town roughly the size of Guildford. 

We’re a passionate bunch. We think we can make a real difference. Homelessness, poverty, inequality, a lack of affordable housing. They’re all linked. They’re issues that affect so many, young and old alike. And we don’t think that’s right. We want to give people the chance to dream big and be who they want to be. Homes are at the heart of everybody’s lives. And we exist to help make good homes, and good lives a reality for everyone. 

About you 

We’ve all got different backgrounds, strengths and experiences. But we share the same values. It’s these shared values that bring us together as one team. 

Our colleagues embrace these every day. Be the difference to our customers and colleagues, always curious and look for better solutions, achieve together by working in partnership with others, own it openly through working with others in an open and honest way, and finally embrace possibility and see changes and challenges as welcomed opportunities. 

If you share our values and want to make a real difference in the world, you’re on to a winner and we’d love to hear from you!  

Your new role 

We have a great opportunity for an existing and/or aspiring governance professional to join us as our new Governance Coordinator. You'll be part of our Governance Team, helping to support the effective running of our Board and committees.

This is a twelve month fixed term role with potential to become permanent, where you'll act as a representative of the team.

No two days will be the same in this role so enthusiasm, a can-do attitude and a genuine passion for going the extra mile is very important.

Your day to day role will include:

  • Preparation of meeting packs, including quality checks of reports and build of packs within our dedicated Board portal.
  • Making all necessary arrangements to support the Group Board’s Committees with preparation, collation and timely distribution of agenda packs and reports for meetings.
  • Coordinating arrangements for meetings of the Board, its committees and subsidiary entities
  • Working closely with colleagues to ensure effective forward agenda planning for meetings and to follow up on actions
  • Servicing internal governance or project meetings
  • Assisting the Company Secretary and Head of Governance when required, undertaking research and project work, including analysing and summarising  information
  • Acting as a champion of good governance within Abri, providing general governance advice to colleagues to ensure compliance with the Group Board and Committees’ terms of reference, standing orders and scheme of delegation.

You'll be an excellent communicator: confident, clear and assertive when necessary. Confident at using the Microsoft package including Word, Excel and SharePoint is beneficial, but most of all we hope you'll be as passionate about excellence as we are.

If you're someone who's looking to expand your knowledge and experience as well as eager to find out more about the broad and varied nature of a career in governance within the housing sector, we'd like to hear from you!!! 

What you'll receive from us

We want our colleagues at all levels to be bold, inspiring and not afraid to speak up and be their authentic selves. 
Your wellbeing is really important to us, so you can expect a competitive reward package to ensure you and your family are supported at work and at home.  You’ll receive 28 days of annual leave a year (pro-rata for our part time colleagues) with Bank Holidays on top as well as being entitled to our generous pension scheme. 

We’ll work with you to help you reach your goals through personal development plans and our in-house People Development team. 

Depending on your role you may need to work a set shift pattern, or you may have greater flexibility to choose when and where you work. Either way, we strive to ensure all colleagues have a degree of flexibility to attend life’s important events.  

Be yourself 

Abri is committed to promoting an inclusive culture. We want our colleagues to bring their individual differences, life experiences and knowledge into the workplace and we welcome their contribution to our amazing company. Everyone is different, everyone is unique. 

Interviews will be held via Microsoft Teams. 

To our agency friends

We’re not looking to add to our preferred supplier list right now but if you’d like to be considered at a future date please don’t hesitate to register on our procurement portal.
