Clerk to Governors

Second2None School Support Ltd. offers governance and clerking support for Schools and Academies. An exciting time to work for a growing business which currently supports over 180 schools and academies across the northwest in their drive to improve education for children and young people.

This post is home-based and term time only, perfect especially during the emphasis on hybrid working. Board meetings take place in maintained schools and academy Trusts where the Clerk will attend to take minutes, convene the meetings and provide advice to Boards of governors/trustees. Many of our boards operate a hybrid model so some meetings will take place remotely using Zoom or other online video conferencing facilities.

The post is flexible to suit the needs of the post holder and offers part time hours at present. The post holder will be able to take on as much or as little as they prefer. Meetings are usually afternoons and early evening.

Previous minute taking experience is essential. Ideally evidence of this should be provided. Knowledge/experience of School/Academy governance is highly preferable. Transferable skills are welcomed from other governance and administrative sectors.

Duties include advising the governors/trustees of procedural and legal duties, preparation and circulation of agendas/minutes and other papers, taking and typing up minutes of the governing body meetings and other administrative duties as required.

The role is sub-contracted.
