Clerk to Governors

The governing body of our school is looking for a reliable, proactive, and highly organised Clerk to Governors.  We are looking for someone who has experience of writing agendas and accurate, concise minutes, has excellent listening, oral and literacy skills and importantly has the ability and willingness to work independently as required. Our forward-thinking governing body, alongside our Headteacher and senior leadership team (SLT) come from a range of backgrounds and bring a variety of skills and experience to the team. They are instrumental in ensuring the school continues to be the best it can be, and leading change which will shape its future.

As clerk, you will be a vital member of the team. We typically meet 6 times a year as a full governing body and meeting times are set well in advance (typically 5.30-7.30pm, in school) - these are the only fixed hours.  Any preparatory and follow-up work can be done flexibly, at a time that suits you.  Previous experience as a clerk would be desirable.

As a school team we currently use Google Drive for all of our governance communication and documentation.  The Clerk to governors will be responsible for communicating with Governors and the senior leadership team at the school, to ensure that the latest documentation has been completed and updated. The clerk will need to ensure they are regularly communicating with the Governing board and will be managed by the Chair of Governors during their role.  We currently subscribe to NGA which can be made available to the Clerk.
