We are in search of a Clerk to the Governing Body who is proactive and efficient. This pivotal role involves offering administrative and procedural guidance and reporting directly to the Chair of Governors.

- Effectively administer meetings
- Attending Clerk briefing sessions run by Reading Borough Council

We are seeking an individual with strong listening and communication abilities, along with the capacity to thrive both independently and collaboratively within a team. Proficiency in English, mathematics, and computing is crucial.

While prior experience is beneficial, it is not mandatory as comprehensive training will be provided.

**Applications for this role will be considered on receipt.**
- This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. _
