Ferndown First and Ferndown Middle Schools are part of the Castleman Academy Trust - a Trust which prides itself on putting children first, always and puts its values of Respect, Independence, Creativity and Inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

It’s the staff in our academies who make our schools vibrant places of learning - who do all they can to make sure our children become confident individuals, successful learners and responsible citizens. Our staff want to make a real difference to the lives of the children they work with and are learners themselves who relish professional development opportunities.

Working in a Castleman Academy Trust school you'll be working with other forward thinkers, who see possibilities and are optimistic. You'll have the support of like-minded colleagues and together we'll ensure everyone has a great work life balance. Being part of the Castleman Academy Trust means there are a whole host of opportunities for you to develop and flourish.

At Ferndown First and Middle School we are passionate about education and committed to ensuring that all children develop a thirst for learning for life. We are dedicated to delivering an educational experience in which children are nurtured, challenged and celebrated for their achievements: a school which is embedded within the community.

If you would like to join us and be part of an exciting journey, Ferndown First and Ferndown Middle School are now looking to recruit a highly organised and self-motivated Governance Officer from 1 September 2023.

The Governance Officer will be responsible for the smooth running of the governing board, preparing agendas and meeting papers, taking and distributing minutes, providing administrative support, monitoring communications to the SSB and responding, when appropriate. You will be responsible for keeping records and up-to-date information in respect of policies and date of reviews, together with providing procedural and legislative advice to the SSB. Excellent organisation, communication and ICT skills and a prerequisite for this role. A sound secretarial/administrative background would be advantageous but previous experience of working in a school or governance environment is not required as full training will be provided.

This is a part-time role, covering at least six full SSB meetings for each school which are held in term time. Full governing board meetings are usually held in the evening. The Governance Officer is also expected to attend all relevant training events and briefings which may fall outside of school hours, together with occasional additional meetings as required.

**We are looking for people who-**
- Are passionate about learning as learning is at the heart of everything we do
- Want to inspire young learners to be the best they can be
- Believe teamwork is vital to be successful
- Lead by example
- Have an eye for details that matter
- Are solution focussed
- Are prepared to take their turn in taking the lead
- Are intuitive and positive thinking
- Take their job seriously but not themselves
- Notice a job needs doing and get it done
- Have a real desire to join the Castleman Trust and help build an inspiring learning community where all thrive and are successful

**We can offer you:

- **
- Excellent CPD opportunities
- Eligibility to join the Local Government Pension Scheme
- free access to the Education Support Employee Assistance Programme
- Cycle to Work Scheme

**Interviews will be held on Monday 26 June 2023**

An online check will also be conducted on all shortlisted applicants. This check will form part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

This role is UK based and your Right to Work will need to be established as part of the appointment process.

Please note that CV's are not accepted.
