Job overview
We are excited to announce an opportunity for an experienced individual to join King’s Group Academies (KGA) as our new Lead Governance Professional.
KGA is a growing Multi Academy Trust comprising 15 Academies across the South East. As we continue to develop, we recognise the need to recruit an experienced, proactive, and knowledgeable Lead Governance Professional to support governance at all levels within the Trust.
This new post will be vital in ensuring that King’s Group Academies demonstrates robust governance and meets its statutory and advisory requirements. The successful candidate will provide the Board, its committees and the Academy Local Governing Bodies with authoritative guidance on all areas of governance and constitutional necessities, offer exemplary clerking support, and support every tier of the governance structure to function effectively and efficiently.
As governance lead, you will achieve excellent standards of compliance and regularity, and take responsibility for governance documents, management of information, and the maintenance and improvement of systems, processes and communications.
This role will act as an expert resource and support for all stakeholders involved in governance, including Members, Trustees, Local Governing Body Chairs, and Clerks, the KGA Executive and Academy Headteachers. You will play a lead role in the policy review cycle and will support colleagues with work on compliance in areas such as audit and risk. This role heavily relies on in person contact and therefore, the ideal candidate will need to be prepared to travel across all of our Academies across Hampshire, Berkshire, and East Sussex.
In return, you will receive support and professional development from KGA’s Director of Organisational Development. This role presents a unique opportunity to develop strong governance across the Trust and contribute positively to the education of nearly 10,000 pupils. Our vision is to provide these pupils with Opportunity and Success on a Global Stage, and we are looking for someone who shares this ambition.
