• Leading on the Companies insurance processes, including liaising with the insurance brokers and responsible business owners to ensure the insurance policies are renewed on time.
• Overseeing the Companies whistleblowing process and conducting training to ensure any whistleblowing concerns are examined appropriately.
• Ensure that the team fully understand and comply with the organisation's Risk Management and Data Governance Policies.

The successful candidate will possess:

• 5+ years of experience (or comparable) as an Assistant Company Secretary
• 3+ years of experience (or comparable) to listing obligations
• 1+ year of experience (or comparable) to share plans
• Strong PLC experience
