Cirencester Corporation is looking for a new Governance Manager. This is a pivotal role which supports the Chair of Corporation and Principal to ensure effective governance in line with statutory requirements and our Corporate Goals.
We are seeking a proactive, enthusiastic individual with the character, judgment, and proactive nature to advise when needed and act when appropriate. You are likely to have experience with boards or education management and may have worked as a clerk or governance professional before.
We are specifically looking for an individual with the aptitude and skills to support the modernization of the way management information is made available to governors.
As members of the Corporation, governors discharge significant statutory responsibilities to ensure the financial efficiency and educational effectiveness of the college. The Corporation meets six times per academic year as a whole, and there are currently three committees that meet once a term. The Governance Manager will work closely with the Chair of the Corporation and the Chairs of the three committees to ensure formal business is scheduled, conducted, and recorded effectively, including personally drafting minutes for formal meetings. Individual “Focus Governors” and small, ad hoc “Task and Finish Groups” take on specific areas of responsibility and may require additional support.
This role offers the right incumbent plenty of autonomy to manage, support, and sometimes lead governance activity in support of the next stage of the college’s development.
Interested individuals are invited to contact the current clerk to the Corporation via Jeannie.Adam@Cirencester.ac.uk for an informal conversation if desired.
PLEASE APPLY NOW – This position will close once sufficient applications are received.
Benefits include: LGPS defined benefit pension scheme – 24%+ college pension contribution, reviewed annually (including life assurance), generous holidays, sick pay scheme, Employee Assistance Programme, free on-site car parking, on-site fitness suite, Refectory, and Cycle to Work Scheme.
