Job description
Northern Star Academies Trust is looking for aself-motivated individual to provide high quality and responsive governance support, advice and guidance to the valued volunteers who make up our vibrant governance community. The postholder will work closely as part of a governance team and with the schools that make up our Trust ‘hubs’. The role is based in Harrogate, with potentially some requirement to cover our Keighley/Skipton schools on an ad hoc basis. Evening working would be limited to attending the governing body meetings for four or five schools (i.e. four or five evenings per half-term), and as required/possible for governor network or training sessions.
As a Trust Partnership we are absolutely committed to flexible working, and in this extremely varied role you will be required to manage your own time and work independently as well as part of a wider Trust team. The willingness and ability to attend evening meetings (in person and remotely) is essential, as is the ability to travel to school sites across North and West Yorkshire. You will need to be experienced in using Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel etc.) as well as using in-house database systems. The successful candidate will ideally have an awareness of governance procedures within a school/Trust environment; however, we welcome and encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates.
We offer a commitment to your professional development, the opportunity to work in partnership with colleagues from primary and secondary schools across the Trust Partnership, and the chance to be a part of a dynamic and growing Trust.
For further information and an application form, please visit the Trust website at www.nsat.org.uk/vacancies. Applications must include a completed application form, for safeguarding purposes. A CV alone is not sufficient.
