If you are a dedicated and ambitious individual who has a real passion for clerking and thrives on collaboration and innovation, we have an exciting opportunity to offer.
The Directors of Holy Family Catholic MAT would like to invite applications from excellent, enthusiastic and engaging individuals for the post of Clerk to Governors.
This is a unique opportunity to work across our Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust. This post will be based across the 5 schools in the MAT. The meetings will be at different schools, or at home where necessary if a Zoom meeting is required. Office space will be provided for typing minutes and preparing papers.
The role is term-time only and part time, and hours will be flexible across the year, to meet the needs of the governing bodies. The specific arrangements regarding the number of hours required will be discussed and agreed with the successful applicant but we anticipate approximately 4 hours per week will be required for secondary’s and 6 hours per week for primaries . The majority of LGB meetings take place in the late afternoon or early evening. A flexible approach to working hours is essential as the successful candidate may be asked to service additional meetings in order to meet the governance needs of the Trust (for example pupil disciplinary committees, complaints panels) or to provide cover for other team members in their absence.
The role is based within the Trust Operations team though there is a requirement to work at all Trust schools, including for evening meetings.
Academy trust governance professionals are responsible for overseeing all aspects of governance effectiveness and compliance within the trust, ensuring governance adheres to good practice and meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. This is achieved by:
▪ Providing efficient, effective and confidential administrative support to the Governing Body in the performance of its statutory obligations;
▪ Ensuring governance at all levels is carrying out its functions;
▪ Helping to drive the development of the trust’s governance framework and improvements to its systems, processes and structures;
▪ Managing and coordinating the delivery and ongoing improvement of governance support across the trust’s academies.
We offer:
● A unique opportunity to work for a MAT which is one of 87 national teaching school hubs and includes the lead school for Cheshire and Wirral Maths Hub
● Mentoring and high level training
● Encouragement to develop your career with excellent promotion opportunities and opportunities.
● A caring environment with well-being and work/life balance at its core.
● Inclusion in whole school and MAT teams – working together to achieve ambitious outcomes whilst valuing every individual’s contribution
Our Vision:
Formation. Inspiration. Transformation.
Our Mission
To develop individual excellence, embrace opportunities and build
strong communities with Gospel Values at the heart.
Our Values
Respect. Innovation. Courage. Trust.
