We are seeking to appoint a professional Clerk/Governance Professional to provide governing body clerking support to four of our Schools Governing Bodies.
Your opportunity
At GLF Schools our local governance structure is customised for our Multi Academy Trust. Each of our schools has a distinct character and culture to meet the needs of its community and context. We recognise the value of retaining a local governance committee for our schools and call these committees School Standards Boards (SSBs).
We require a clerk to support four of our Boards in Banbury:
William Morris Primary School
Cherry Fields Primary School
Longford Park Primary School
Hardwick Primary School
At GLF Schools we believe that our Clerks are vital to the success of and form part of our Trust governance team led by our Trust Governance Manager. The role will involve providing effective administrative support to the SSB's, ensuring the governing board is properly constituted, managing information effectively in accordance with legal requirements and supporting the wider governance team.
