Latitude Recruitment is proud to partner with Omeo District Health on this senior governance and executive support opportunity.

Are you an experienced board secretary or governance professional who works months ahead by habit? Omeo District Health is a Small Rural Health Service in Victoria's beautiful East Gippsland High Country, and they're looking for a Board Secretary and Executive Assistant to the CEO to sit at the confidential centre of the organisation.

This role has two sides. The first is professional secretariat for the Board and its committees, which run to twelve to fifteen standing committees in all. You'll own the annual Board calendar and forward agenda plan, commission papers on time, hold authors and Committee Chairs to their agreed dates, take accurate and defensible minutes, and keep the statutory registers and compliance calendar audit-ready. The second is confidential support to the CEO: diary and inbox management, correspondence, briefings, and staying on top of commitments across a busy regional and statewide environment.

- Experience advising a Chair, board or CEO on meeting procedure, director duties or conflict of interest in a regulated setting

- Accurate, legally sound minute taking and audit-ready statutory and action registers

- Advanced Microsoft Office, Forms and Adobe Acrobat, plus SharePoint administrator capability to run the Board portal unaided

- Sound judgement and discretion with confidential, sensitive information, including in a small community where people know one another

Why Join Omeo District Health?
