A great opportunity has arisen to join our in-house Governance Team. We are seeking a self-motivated person with excellent communication and organisational skills to help provide a comprehensive governance service to our 9 academies across Greater Manchester. The successful candidate will provide a full and comprehensive clerking service to a number of our Academy Governing Councils (AGCs) as well as working with the Deputy Head of Governance to provide a range of central governance services including arranging training for governors and trustees, recruiting new governors, and supporting the delivery of panel processes.
Previous governance experience is preferred but not essential, as full training and support will be provided as the new team member adjusts to the role.
A flexible approach to working hours is essential as the role involves some twilight / evening meetings during term time and although much of the work can be undertaken from home, regular attendance at academies for meetings will be required.
The successful candidate will be expected to hold, or be willing to undertake, the Chartered Governance Institute's level 3 qualification in clerking, which will be funded by the Trust.
The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
