We have a vacancy for a clerk to support our local governing body. Among other things you would be responsible for:

● The timely circulation of agendas

● Attending governing body meetings and the production of accurate minutes

● Monitoring governing body membership and attendance

● Maintaining the register of governors’ business interests

● Providing administrative support to the governing body

● Providing advice to governors on their legal and procedural duties.

The governing body generally meets on Tuesday evenings, once a term, but the rest of the work can be done at home at any time. Meetings are held at Edith Moorhouse Primary School, Lawton Avenue, Carterton. Clerking for both the full governor meetings and committees in the school amounts to approximately 95 hours per year including attendance at meetings and preparation and follow-up, as well as other duties related to the governing body’s operations.

We are interested in receiving applications from experienced clerks but we would also like to hear from anyone who might not have clerking experience but would like to train as one, as we can offer full training for this role.

To find out more about Edith Moorhouse School, please visit the school’s website or to arrange an informal chat with the Chair of Governors please email glenda@edithmoorhouse.org.
