What you'll need to succeed
You will have previous experience in a similar role; company secretarial or legal training would be highly beneficial but not essential if you can demonstrate previous experience in this area. It is essential that you have excellent record keeping and attention to detail. You will be confident acting autonomously, however the Director will be on hand to provide guidance and support.
