**About the Post**

We are seeking to appoint a Local Advisory Board (LAB) Clerk as part of the Clerking Team based in the Trust’s Core Services central provision. The Clerk will predominantly be working with the Twynham School/The Grange School joint LAB, but may be required to support any of the Trust schools and Trust Board, as required, on a flexible basis.

The LAB Clerk will be accountable to the Trust’s Governance Manager, working effectively with the Chair of the LAB, Headteachers and other LAB Members. The Clerk will work within the guidelines of the DfE Clerking Competency Framework, providing administrative and organisational support to the LAB, guidance to the LAB in compliance with the appropriate legal and regulatory framework, advising on procedural matters whilst securing the continuity of LAB’s business, and observing confidentiality requirements.

The role could be undertaken from the Core Services offices (based at The Grange School) or from home. The exception would be for fixed meeting dates and times, which will be either at the relevant school site or remotely via MS Teams. Hours are, on average, ten hours per week across the course of a term but the practical working arrangements will require flexibility to work more hours some weeks and fewer others.

We are looking for an outstanding individual who will relish the opportunity to:

- Provide effective administration for meetings
- Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders
- Manage information relating to LAB business and its members
- Advise and guide the LAB
- Advise and assist with membership (recruitment, induction and succession planning)
- Keep up to date with current educational developments and legislation affecting school governance and participate in professional development opportunities
- Promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in accordance with our Safeguarding and Child Protection policies.

**What we can offer you**
- The opportunity to work within Twynham Learning; a progressive multi-academy trust
- The chance to be a part of an exciting educational journey alongside highly regarded professionals
- The opportunity to work with exceptional colleagues and wonderful young people and their families
- Ongoing CPD access
- Strong and supportive leadership
- Automatic membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme
- Free on-site parking

- Have completed the National Training Programme for Clerks to Governing Bodies (or its equivalent), or is willing to undertake this
- Have previous experience of administration, especially taking notes/minutes of meetings
- Have great attention to detail
- Have excellent organisation skills
