Finance School Governor at Mill Ford School

We are looking for a committed Governor with Finance Expertise to join the governing body of our successful special school in Plymouth. However, the role can be carried out virtually so you don’t need to be based in Plymouth.

Our school supports children and young people with severe and profound learning needs, including autism, physical disabilities and complex medical needs. We are an ambitious, caring and inclusive school, and our governors play a vital role in helping us continue to provide the very best opportunities for our pupils.

We are particularly keen to hear from someone with experience in finance, accounting, audit, budgeting, business planning or financial oversight. You will help the governing body monitor the school’s financial position, consider financial risks and ensure that resources are used effectively to support the best possible outcomes for pupils.

You don't need previous experience as a school governor as we will provide a full induction and support. What matters most is your ability to bring sound financial judgement, ask constructive questions and share our commitment to improving the lives of children and young people with complex needs.

The role can be carried out online, offering flexibility for the right candidate.

If you have financial expertise and would like to use your skills to support a successful and highly specialist school, we would love to hear from you.
