Governance Professional / PA

Do you enjoy administration, influencing decision-making and ensuring things run smoothly behind the scenes? Are you looking for a rewarding role that fits around school hours? We are seeking a Governance Professional & PA to provide support to our trustees, governors and executive leaders, helping to ensure effective decision-making and strong governance across our Multi-Academy Trust. This is a varied and influential role combining meeting coordination and minuting, governance, compliance and executive support responsibilities at the heart of our organisation. You will play a key role in the effective management of governance processes, working closely with trustees and governors to ensure priorities are well organised, statutory requirements are met and key activities run smoothly.
