The Governing Body of Calcot Schools is seeking to appoint a Clerk to Governors.

This is a key role which includes working with the headteacher and governors in the preparation and distribution of agendas and papers; attending and accurately recording meeting minutes; policy management; providing advice to governors on constitutional, procedural and legislative matters in accordance with relevant statutory guidance and policy; and providing general administrative support to the Chair of Governors.

This role offers good flexibility with working hours and the ability to work from home. The majority of Full Governing Body and Committee meetings are held in the morning, either online or in school. Meetings may cluster in certain weeks of term. As the Clerk is generally home-based, access to the internet and strong IT skills are essential. Due to the nature of this role, discretion and confidentiality are vital.

Ideally, you will have knowledge or experience of school governance or in a similar professional clerking role. However, if you have a strong background in administration and are keen to learn we would strongly encourage you to apply, even if you have no school governance knowledge, as training and development can be provided.

We warmly welcome visits to the school.
