Applicants can apply for one or both roles: however meetings are held primarily in person six times a year at each school.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our governance team, which will include access to regular team meetings and training. Successful candidates will have excellent communication, interpersonal and organisational skills, and be able to work independently and organise their own time whilst working to strict deadlines. Because of the nature of this role, discretion and confidentiality are vital.
The role will include finalising agendas, organising paperwork, producing minutes and providing advice to governors on procedural and legislative matters in accordance with our Trust’s governance approach and relevant statutory guidance and policy, under the guidance and support of the West Sussex Governance Co-Ordinator.

Governance Clerks are based at home and must provide their own equipment to undertake this role. Governance Clerks are however required to attend six meetings of the LGBs where these are held in person (these are held each half term dates agreed a year in advance).

The role is 80 hours (to include six meetings (two hours each) of the LGB) per academic year during term-time only, Grade 5 non-teaching staff (£28,931 FTE - actual salary £1088-£1200).
There are opportunities for additional hours in order to meet the governance needs of the Trust including supporting LGB panels as requested or to provide cover for other team members in their absence
