This is an exciting opportunity to use your experience to play a key role within the Learning Accord Multi Academy Trust based in Kirklees and Calderdale. The Trust currently has 18 schools with 2 pending conversions and is expanding. We are looking to employ a professional Clerk to support governance of the Trust and member academies. We are in an exciting time as our central team is growing, and we are seeking a new
Clerk to join this friendly and welcoming team.
Our team of Clerks work successfully with our Governance Professional, as well as the CEO, Headteachers and Local Governing Bodies. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop governance, administration and communication skills in a forward-thinking Trust. With the exception of attendance at meetings, all work can be completed flexibly within a set timeframe; the successful applicants will therefore need to be self-motivated and have a proactive approach to their workload.
A training programme with NGA will be provided for successful applicants, and support will be delivered from the central Trust team. Previous experience of governance or minute taking is preferred and strong experience in the administrative field is essential. The Trust will aim to work
with applicants to identify suitable schools based on location and timings to ensure best outcomes where possible.
The role of a clerk includes:
- Attendance at least 6 evening meetings per year.
- Taking and producing accurate and comprehensive minutes of the meetings.
- Communicating important meeting updates to the governance team in an accurate and timely fashion.
- Responsibility for advising the Governors on procedural, constitutional and governance matters
(with direction and support from the governance team).
- Utilising Microsoft Teams or Zoom where necessary.
We are looking for someone who:
- Is able to maintain confidentiality.
- Has excellent administrative and communication skills.
- Can work flexibly.
- Has the ability to work on their own initiative with the minimum of supervision.
- Can work as part of the whole school/Trust team
