Job Description

We are looking for a proactive and self-motivated clerk who will provide high quality advice, support and administrative assistance to our governing body. This involves arranging meetings, taking minutes, keeping records and advising the governing body on local and national legislative developments that will impact on our work. You must have experience of minute-taking, good ICT and communication skills and be able to work with minimal supervision. Training for clerks is provided by the local authority, as well as opportunities to network with other clerks.

We also need someone who can be flexible in terms of working hours, as some governors’ meetings take place outside normal office hours and can occasionally be called at short notice. Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings take place after school (typically from 16.30–18.30). There are 5-6 FGB meetings and up to 15 Committee meetings per academic year. You may be required to clerk working groups and panels when needed, for which you will be paid extra hours.
