Full job description

We are looking for a proactive, organised and empathetic Governance Officer to help us deliver high-quality governance across our Trust. This is a key role that keeps our governance processes running smoothly, from supporting meetings and panels to coordinating governor recruitment and development.

You don’t need previous governance experience. If you are highly organised, confident communicating with a range of people, and comfortable working with sensitive information, we will provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive.

What you’ll be doing

Ensuring governance meetings run efficiently, including preparing agendas, taking minutes and providing clear administrative support.
Coordinating recruitment, onboarding and development for our governors.
Supporting statutory panels such as suspensions, exclusions and complaints, with professionalism and impartiality.
Building strong working relationships with colleagues, governors and school leaders.
Using Trust policies, frameworks and guidance to provide accurate, helpful advice.

What we’re looking for

Excellent attention to detail and strong written and verbal communication skills.
The ability to remain calm, impartial and professional in challenging or sensitive situations.
A positive, solutions focused attitude and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
Willingness to attend some evening meetings (with time off in lieu).
Access to your own transport to travel to schools across the Trust, and on occasion, outside of the Trust.

What we offer

A warm, supportive team that values your contribution.
One to one training and ongoing professional development.
Flexible working opportunities to help you balance work and life.
A varied, rewarding role where no two days are the same.

If you enjoy helping others, take pride in high-quality work, and are motivated by supporting effective governance, we would be delighted to receive your application.

Hours: 37 hours per week, 40 weeks per year (term time plus some additional days). Some evening work is required to minute meetings (generally 5 per term).

Location: Central Offices, Exeter (regular travel to schools within the Trust, and on occasion, outside of the Trust). Our schools are based in Plymouth, Exeter and Mid and East Devon.

Hybrid working available.

Closing date: noon on Tuesday 8th September 2026 (This job advert may close early if sufficient applications are received. Please apply for this job as soon as you can, if you are interested)

Interview date: Wednesday 16th September 2026. Please note, there will be a short practical test during the interview.

The Ted Wragg Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All appointments will be subject to a number of safeguarding checks including an enhanced DBS check.

Required to start as soon as possible.
