Job Details

Are you an experienced board secretary?

Do you have an interest in the military?

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) for the recruitment of an Interim Court Secretary.

Chartered by Henry VIII in 1537, the HAC is a membership charity of 2,500 members-400 of which are actively serving in either the Army Reserve, in a Regiment of the same name or the City of London Special Constabulary.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, as an active member of the Senior Management team, you will be responsible for supporting the Governance of the Company and the Company membership. You will act as secretary to the Court of Assistants (Board of Trustees) and a number of other Committees. This will involve: the preparation of papers and briefings, the production of minutes and reports and the coordination of court meetings (e.g. the Court of Assistants, the Lord Mayor's Court and the Annual General Court). The post holder will also be responsible for maintaining and updating the Company's Rules & Orders (policies). Additional responsibilities will include overseeing grants and providing general administration for the Benevolent Fund.

To be considered for this role, it is essential that you have experience of coordinating board meetings and liaising with board members (trustees). Self-motivated, you will have excellent communication skills and be comfortable working with high level stakeholders. The ideal candidate will have previous senior management experience and strong administrative skills. The ability to take minutes and draft reports is essential, as is demonstrable experience of managing websites. This role is ideally suited to someone who has an interest in and respect for the military and requires both diplomacy and tact in everyday encounters.

A full job description will be provided to candidates short-listed by Prospectus.


Please apply with a Word document copy of your CV. Cover letters are not required at this stage.
