At the Family of Learning Trust, our commitment to our pupils is that we will attract, retain, and develop excellent staff. Our ethos is a simple one: ‘Learning without Limits’. We pride ourselves on having the highest expectations of all our children and staff, believing that there are no limits to what they can achieve. We put our teams at the heart of our vision and use their talents to achieve it. We are determined to continue to improve standards and outcomes across our schools. We are committed to providing a nurturing and secure environment for our pupils to learn and we are looking for equally committed staff to join our team.
Central to the ethos and vision are the Governors and Trustees, and we require a Governance Professional to support them with robust governance practice and guide them on the procedural elements of the role as well as ensuring strict adherence to compliance.
The Family of Learning Trust is enthusiastically committed to the communities of Calderdale, Bradford, and our surrounding areas, serving our families in order to secure excellent educational outcomes. The schools across the trust collaborate to share expertise, knowledge, and best practices, assuring we achieve academic and pastoral excellence throughout all of our schools.
We are seeking a highly organised and self-motivated individual, with the passion and drive to help deliver strong and effective governance practices. The Governance Professional will be an integral part of the team, under the direction of the CEO. The successful candidate must be able to work independently, work flexibly, and commit to out of school hours to attend Local Governing Body meetings. The role offers flexibility in terms of physical location; the individual would have the flexibility to work from home to carry out administration and preparation for meetings or at one of the schools within the Trust. It is expected the hours per week will also be flexible, some weeks may require less than 12 hours and others more than 12 depending on the demand of the role.
The successful candidate will be efficient, an excellent communicator, and maintain a high level of confidentiality at all times. The role requires excellent attention to detail, high standards of customer service with a strong administrative foundation, and experience of supporting meetings. Experience in a similar role and knowledge of Academy Trust professional governance are essential. Although further training and support will be available to build knowledge on compliance and governance matters. This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive forward-thinking Trust, who in return for your commitment and hard work, will support you to achieve your own career goals and aspirations.
In return, we offer a benefit package that includes:
* Membership of Local Government Pension Scheme with employer contribution of approximately 16.8%
* An Employee Assistance Programme, offering support and access to resources to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance
* Commitment to professional development for all staff recognised through Investors in People awards
