Governance Administration & Board Support Careers
Apply your organisational, administrative and professional support experience in a flexible role supporting governance, boards and committees.
You do not need to arrive as an experienced company secretary. We are interested in people with strong relevant skills who take pride in accurate work, professional communication and keeping things organised.
Strong organisation. Meaningful governance support.
Good governance depends on people who can organise information, coordinate meetings, manage deadlines and ensure that important work is followed through.
Virteffic supports boards, committees and governance teams across Jersey, Guernsey and beyond.
This route is intended for people with relevant administrative, meeting-support or professional services experience who would like to apply those skills in a governance environment.
The precise responsibilities will depend on your experience, capability and the requirements of our clients.
What you could be doing
Your work could involve practical support before, during and after board and committee meetings, alongside wider governance administration.
Meeting coordination & administration
- Coordinating board and committee meetings
- Assisting with agendas and meeting schedules
- Preparing and organising board and committee packs
- Managing meeting documentation and distribution
- Maintaining action logs, trackers and records
- Coordinating deadlines and follow-up actions
Governance & professional support
- Supporting the preparation and production of minutes
- Assisting with company secretarial processes
- Maintaining accurate governance documentation
- Liaising with colleagues and client contacts
- Supporting governance and board effectiveness projects
- Taking on broader responsibilities as capability develops
Responsibilities will vary. Not every assignment will involve every task. We will discuss the likely scope of work and the support available with candidates.
The skills that matter
Technical governance experience can be developed. Strong organisation, accuracy, accountability and professional communication are important foundations for this route.
Organisation and attention to detail
You are comfortable coordinating tasks, managing information and producing accurate work.
Good written communication
You can prepare clear professional correspondence and documentation and recognise the importance of accurate written records.
Reliability and accountability
You follow through on commitments, manage deadlines and communicate promptly when priorities change.
Confidentiality and discretion
You understand the need to handle sensitive client and business information appropriately.
Confidence with systems and documents
You are comfortable using common office applications, organising information and learning new systems.
Interest in governance
You are interested in how boards, committees and organisations operate and willing to develop relevant knowledge over time.
Where your experience might fit
You may already have many of the skills needed for governance administration and board support, even if you have never held a governance job title.
Professional administration
Experience in executive assistance, office administration, business support, document management or coordinating complex professional schedules.
Financial & professional services
Experience in trust, funds, corporate administration, banking, legal, accounting or other professional services environments.
Meetings & stakeholder support
Experience coordinating meetings, managing agendas and documentation, tracking actions or supporting senior colleagues and stakeholders.
None of these backgrounds is mandatory. We welcome relevant transferable experience from other environments and will consider what you can contribute.

Primarily remote working
Work is generally undertaken remotely, although attendance at client meetings or premises may be required. Agreed availability, deadlines and secure working arrangements remain important.

As your experience develops, there may be opportunities to take on broader governance responsibilities, depending on capability and business needs.
