Offer description

DescriptionEmployerLocation

Are you interested in supporting a local school and engaging with your community in a flexible, varied and interesting role?

This role supports our local governing body. Among other things you would be responsible for:

1. The timely preparation and circulation of agendas
2. Attending governing body meetings and the production of accurate minutes
3. Monitoring governing body membership and attendance
4. Maintaining the register of governors’ business interests
5. Providing administrative support to the governing body
6. Providing advice to governors on their legal and procedural duties.

The governing body generally meets in the evenings on school sites, and there are other occasional meetings during the day, but the rest of the work can be done at home at any time. Clerking for both the full governor meetings and committees and other school related functions amounts to an average of 117 hours per year. This includes attendance at meetings (up to 14 per school year) and preparation and follow-up, as well as other duties related to the governing body’s operations.

By becoming part of our Kingsdown family, you will join a team that doesn't just work together but a team who deeply and genuinely cares. We know that staff and students thrive in a ‘healthy work culture’ and the wellbeing of staff and student outcomes is inextricably linked. We are committed to providing the best working and learning environment for all. The RLT embodies a staff charter and strong values, we uphold these values and commitments, and further build on these with our Wellbeing Strategy.

Our colleagues benefit from a wide variety of support including encouraged professional development opportunities, exceptional wellbeing support, free access to our gym and an excellent pension scheme. Each journey with us begins with a personalised induction programme that allows for new colleagues to feel supported, connected, welcomed and ready to make an impact from the moment you join.

The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
