Overview:

**Governance Manager

  • Permanent**
    Full Time

Pay Scale - £38,296 to £41,496

_Governance must engage everyone in the organisation; it's not about what you say but what people hear (GGI)_
In the Bath and Wells MAT (BWMAT) we have a clear vision for governance. We believe that good governance adds value.

It is lean, transparent and ethical, focused on tackling challenges in ways that complement our big picture vision for education in our Trust.

It always seeks the best outcomes for our young people and is never content with merely staying out of trouble.


If you share our vision and passion for making a positive difference then our post of Governance Manager will be of real interest to you.

We are looking for someone who can forge excellent relationships across all levels of governance and bring real organisational flair to managing our governance support processes.

BWMAT is one of the South West region's largest school trusts, with 37 primary schools at present. This number is growing.


The role of Governance Manager will provide professional advice, guidance and administrative support to the Board of Trustees and its committees in the discharge of the Trust's constitutional, procedural and regulatory duties.

You will be responsible for minuting Board and Committee meetings and ensuring that Trustees are supported and advised in all aspects of their roles.


Your knowledge of statutory and legal requirements around governance will ensure our Board and Committees are compliant and well informed.

You will be brave and curious and not afraid to challenge the status-quo or accepted norms when providing specialist support and solutions.

You will be keen to develop ways of working that support the Trust's continued growth whilst ensuring that quality and excellence are at the heart of all we do.

You will have the ability to handle complex situations with attention to detail and to prioritise and delegate in a fast-changing environment.


You will also lead a developing team of Governance Officers who provide professional advice and support to schools, including clerking, through schools' Local Governance Committees.

You will develop and maintain excellent working relationships with the Trust's key stakeholders and build networks that will support the ongoing development of effective governance across the Trust.

You will work directly to the Director of Governance who oversees the strategic development of governance in the Trust. This role is offered on a home working basis. There will be some Trust wide travel.

What we are looking for:

The person we are looking for will;
- bring both passion and humility to the role;
- have a successful background in management and administration;
- be willing to grow and develop into the governance aspect of the role,
- bring a willingness to work collaboratively with Trustees, Local Governors and the Trust's wider stakeholders
- have experience of developing and delivering successful training
- be an excellent communicator and an even better listener

What we offer:

**In return for the above, the Bath and Wells Multi Academy Trust is able to offer: - **- Opportunity to work with great colleagues in a supportive environment

  • Become part of an experienced and enthusiastic governance team and Trust central team
  • Commitment to professional development with a personal professional annual training budget
  • Working environment that supports innovation and embraces doing things differently with allowances for home working and travel
