This Multi-Academy Trust is now looking to bring on a Governance Professional on a full-time permanent basis. The role has a flexible nature to it with the successful applicant only required to attend meetings and not required in the office on a weekly basis. The headquarters for the trust are based in South London.
The successful applicant will support governance at all levels within the Trust to fulfil their statutory obligations. You will provide Board level guidance, offering high- quality Clerking and support to our Trustees and Members as well as carrying out the role of Trust Governance Professional. This will include ensuring governance across the Trust adheres to good practice, maintaining compliance with statutory regulations, acting as a trusted expert resource on governance matters and leading on improvements to systems, processes, and governance support across the Trust.
You will work closely with the Chair of Trustees, Chairs of Trust Committees (Finance, Audit & Risk, People and Standards), and Executives to ensure that the Trust delivers on its statutory responsibilities and to ensure the Trust’s vision is implemented through robust governance.
Due to the nature of the role, work hours may vary and evening work will be required for some meetings. An ability to work flexibly would be an advantage. Some meetings take place in the early evening and across all of our schools. You will be required to attend Committee meetings in-person, however other elements of the role can be hybrid, as agreed with the line manager. There are four Trust Board meetings per year plus three of each of the committee meetings. There may be additional meetings such as hearings and panels which this role will support.
There is a competitive salary on offer along with a full job description on request.
