3 months ago
**ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY**
We are looking for a Governor Services Officer to join our central team.
Reporting to the Head of Governance, your areas of responsibility include supporting Governor Services administration and providing clerking services to nominated Federation academies.
**WORKING WITH US**
The founder and sponsor of the Harris Federation, Lord Harris of Peckham, opened our first school in 1990. We have, over the past thirty years, implemented ideas and initiatives that have transformed the opportunities of pupils from working class and disadvantaged backgrounds. Harris academies are widely recognised as a force for social mobility. We are immensely proud of the role that our alumni are now beginning to play in the world and of what we believe our current generation of pupils will go on to achieve.
We now have over 50 schools educating more than 40,000 young people across London and Essex, and employ over 5,000 staff across our academies and head office. With the majority of our academies located in areas of high socioeconomic disadvantage, a high-quality education is key to the futures of the pupils we serve.
As a provider of employment and education, we value the diversity of our staff and students, and all our staff are equally valued and respected. We are committed to providing a fair, equitable and mutually supportive learning and working environment for our students and staff.
Our work will impact many generations to come, and our staff come from all backgrounds and walks of life, coming together to inspire young minds. We promote an inclusive culture that embraces the valuable and enriching contribution that all of our community make. We continue to be proactive in uplifting and supporting all voices at Harris.

**MAIN AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY**
You will play an important role in ensuring the smooth running of all aspects of academy governance administration as part of the Governor Services team to enable the team to offer high-quality central service to 50+ academies. The team provides advice, guidance and training support to Principals, Clerks and other members of staff in a range of areas, including governance, admissions, exclusions and complaints.
The nature of governance means that you will be working with a wide range of people, including volunteer governors, senior academy leaders and academy support staff.
The Governor Services team, like all Harris central services, exists to provide high-quality advice and guidance on statutory areas of compliance, enabling academy staff to focus on teaching and learning.

**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**
We would like to hear from you if you have:
- Qualifications to A Level or above
- Robust experience in a busy administrative role
- Ideally, experience within a clerking or governance role
- A keen interest in governance
- The ability to be proactive, use initiative and take ownership for all aspects of the role
- High standards of ethical conduct at all times, with a clear understanding of the impact on others
- The ability to adapt to changing situations
- The ability to anticipate and identify the needs of internal and external customers in a friendly, prompt and professional manner, delivering high quality service at all times
The NGA Development for Clerks programme would be desirable, but is not essential.
**WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU**
Harris has a strong culture of collaboration and best practice, with professional development and career planning at its centre. We invest in our staff with support, coaching, mentoring, and a wide range of top-quality training programmes delivered at every level.
You will also have access to a variety of benefits, support programmes and initiatives including:
- Excellent opportunities for continuous professional development and career progression
- Annual performance and loyalty bonus
- Pension scheme (Teachers' Pension Scheme or Local Government Pension Scheme) with generous employer contribution
- 26 days' annual leave (inclusive of our Christmas Eve closure day) plus bank holidays, rising to 27 days after 2 years' service, or equivalent for staff on term time contracts
- Electric car salary sacrifice scheme (up to 40% discount)
- Harris Wellbeing Cash Plan including cover for routine and specialist healthcare
- Employee Assistance Programme for free and confidential advice
- Cycle to work salary sacrifice scheme
- Wide range of shopping, leisure, and travel discounts
- 20% off at Tapi Carpets, exclusive to Harris employees
