About this Role

The Governance Professional will be line managed by the Head of Governance and be accountable to the Local Governing Bodies of the schools they support.

Previous experience of education, academies and clerking responsibilities is desirable but not essential as initial training will be provided along with ongoing development opportunities.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:

  • Flexibility, with a high degree of integrity and confidentiality
  • Aptitude for initiative and self-management
  • Excellent planning and organisation skills
  • Effective communication and ICT skills
  • A proven track record of accuracy and attention to detail

Some meetings will take place remotely but the majority will be face to face with each Local Governing Body and the successful candidate will be required to attend all planned meetings. Meetings can take place in the day or early evenings and so flexible availability are essential as is the ability to travel.

The role is for 6.5 hours per week, 38 weeks per year (term time).

The role will require the successful candidate to be able to grow as the trust continues to expand with new schools wanting to join us.

Aquila are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The post is subject to recruitment checks including Enhanced DBS and online search.
