The Role

Help shape how good governance supports better patient care.

Behind every effective organisation is a Board that makes informed decisions, operates with integrity and has the right governance in place. As Board Governance Manager at IC24, you'll play a vital role in making that happen.

Working closely with our Chair, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Finance Officer and Board, you'll lead our company secretarial and governance function, ensuring our Board and Committees operate efficiently, meet their statutory responsibilities and have the information they need to make confident strategic decisions.

This is an exciting opportunity to join IC24 as we continue to strengthen our governance framework following an external governance review. You'll lead the delivery of our Governance Improvement Plan, embed robust assurance processes and help create an organisation that is audit-ready, compliant and focused on continuous improvement.

No two days will be the same.

You'll be someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex environments, building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and ensuring the highest standards of governance are maintained.

Supporting the Board Assurance Framework, governance reporting, strategic risk management and compliance activity, ensuring the Board has clear visibility of key risks and progress.

Producing high-quality governance documentation

Preparing and reviewing Board papers, reports, minutes and governance documentation to support informed decision-making and effective governance.

Supporting regulatory compliance

Maintaining oversight of statutory obligations, governance reviews, audit activity and reporting requirements, ensuring IC24 remains compliant and audit ready.

Building trusted relationships

Working collaboratively with Board Directors, Executive Leaders, senior managers and external stakeholders, providing expert governance advice and influencing best practice across the organisation.

Improving how we work

Identifying opportunities to modernise governance processes, embrace new ways of working and make governance more efficient, effective and accessible.

Who this role suits

This role is ideal for an experienced governance professional who enjoys working at Board level and understands how effective governance enables organisations to deliver better outcomes.

You'll thrive as our Board Governance Manager if you:

• Have experience supporting Boards, Committees or Company Secretarial functions.
• Have a strong understanding of corporate governance, statutory compliance and governance best practice.
• Can confidently build relationships with senior leaders and Board Directors, providing credible advice and appropriate challenge.
• Produce high-quality reports, Board papers and governance documentation with exceptional attention to detail.
