Clerk to Governors

The post is a part-time position, covering meetings of the board. This equates to approx.. 4 hours per week term time only (38 weeks). The meetings are generally held during the evenings or late afternoon, approximately 12 times this year. The position lends itself to home working, although meetings take place face to face at the school and also over teams. To help the successful candidate fulfil their role, there is an expectation for them to attend relevant training events and governance professional network meetings led by Governor Support. If this is you, we can offer you:

• An ideal environment to grow and develop as a professional, in a beautiful town on the edge of the Cotswolds where the community is at the heart of all we do;
• Enthusiastic and highly motivated children, who love coming to school;
• A professional, friendly and dedicated team of staff and supportive Governors;
• A commitment to developing you professionally. So, if you are ambitious and would like to work in an environment where what you think and do is encouraged, welcomed and appreciated, please get in touch.
