About the Role

We are looking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Clerk to the Governing Board as part of our Administration team, providing an outstanding level of support service to our school community.

As our Clerk to the Governing Board you will need to have the ability to work to tight deadlines, prioritising effectively, working independently and maintaining accuracy. Proven administrative experience is essential including minute-taking, records-keeping, letter and report-writing. Above all, our Governing Board requires someone with exceptional communicative, organisational and inter-personal skills. Also vital to the role are the personal qualities of tact, discretion and integrity, particularly with regard to sensitive information and matters.

If you already have good working knowledge of Governing Board procedures as well as education legislation and guidance, we would be particularly keen to hear from you. If, on the other hand, you have work experience which demonstrates the ability to gather, analyse and present information accurately and you are committed to the training which the role of Clerk to the Governors requires, then you should certainly not be put off applying for this post. In essence we need our Clerk to the Governing Board to be committed to developing in this crucial role, with a willingness to build on administrative skills and experience which are already strong.

As Clerk to the Governing Board, you will be required to attend meetings at times convenient to the relevant members of the Governing Board. Otherwise, the hours are flexible around the independent working practices of the Clerk.

Gildredge House is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All offers of employment with the school are subject to pre-employment checks which will include References, Health, Right to Work in UK, a satisfactory Enhanced DBS with Children’s Barred List check and a Declaration that neither they nor anyone who lives in the same household is a disqualified person under the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009.
