Job overview
At Astrea we firmly believe in the importance of local volunteers’ challenge and support for the Academy in their community. Local committee members play a crucial role in working alongside the academy leadership team to drive school improvement and maintain high standards of education and pastoral support. The clerk will work with local committees at five Cambridgeshire academies to enable them to fulfil this function effectively.
The postholder will need to be proactive and creative in identifying where governance is working well but also where interventions may be required. They will build strong relationships with Principals, Chairs and central team colleagues in ensuring governance at each Academy is fully ‘Ofsted-ready’. As a local governance expert, the postholder will support the Trust’s local committee member training programme, and also support volunteer recruitment and retention in their schools, with a licence to be innovative in attracting high calibre volunteers.
As part of this role, the postholder will also help to ensure that the flow of information between the various layers of Astrea governance – local, hub, Trustees – is functioning effectively.
This is the perfect time to join Astrea as we implement improvements to our model of governance, consolidate the excellent support and challenge provided by our committed groups of local volunteers, and build on our success in raising standards. This is an ideal role for an ambitious and autonomous individual keen to embed effective governance within a multi-academy trust committed to addressing educational inequality.
