The Governors of Stanley Primary School wish to appoint a highly organised and self-motivated Clerk to join our friendly staff team. The Clerk is accountable to the governing body, working effectively with the Chair of governors, and with the Headteacher and other governors.
The Clerk to Governors will ensure the smooth running of the governing body: preparing agendas and meeting papers, taking and distributing minutes, giving administrative support, keeping records and up to date information on policies and date of reviews, and providing procedural and legislative advice to the governing body. They must have excellent organisational, communication and ICT skills.
This is a part time role, covering 4 full governing body meetings and approximately 10 Committee meetings per school year. Meetings are held in term time. Full governing body meetings are usually held in the evening with a 6:30pm start while committee meetings take place either at 7.30am, or occasionally in the evenings. These meetings can be held both remotely or in person. There may also be additional ad hoc meetings that take place during school hours. The Clerk is also expected to attend all relevant training events.
The Clerk is paid in arrears through the payroll for hours worked on a monthly basis. Hours payable include the whole meeting process (emails, calls and agenda preparation; writing up and distributing minutes) and training events. Average monthly hours for the current clerk are 25.
