About the Trust:
ATOMIX Educational Trust is a growing and dynamic Trust, comprising of three distinct schools, operating across three sites: Bishopton PRU, Errington Primary: Stockton Sixth Form College and Prior Pursglove College (circa 21 meetings per year across all including committees).
Our Trust is forward thinking, fast paced and ambitious. We are driving change across our governance, leadership and delivery structures. We are now seeking experienced Governance and Clerking Services to support our journey and help build a governance model that matches our pace, ambition and complexity.
The Role:
We are seeking an individual or an organisation to support is in professionalising and strengthening governance across the Trust. This is more than just a clerking role.

* Work across HR, compliance and policy development to ensure cohesion between governance, and operational delivery
* Contribute to overall strategy to enhance transparency, consistency and effectiveness across Trust Governance.
What we are looking for:
We are open to working flexibly and with the right person or provider. Whether you are an experienced governance professional looking for a new challenge, a former school/college leader with deep compliance knowledge, or an independent consultant, we want to hear from you if you have:
* Proven experience in clerking and/or Governance support in educational context (FE experience is highly desirable but not essential)
* Strong understanding of statutory governance requirements
* A proactive, improvement focused mindset with the confidence to bring clarity and order to evolving structures
* The ability to build strong working relationships with senior leaders and Trustees
* Excellent organisational and communication skills, with an eye for detail and the ability to produce professional documentation

Contracting Options:
We are open to a range of arrangements:
* A fixed term or part time contract
