About This Role

The trust is looking to appoint an inspirational and highly effective Governance Officer – Clerk to AGC’s who is committed to supporting academies to educational excellence and support as they further develop the distinctive Christian character of educational provision and the school community.

You will work in partnership with the Governance Manager as well the Headteacher and Academy Governance Committee to administer and clerk governance activity for 12-14 academies.

This is a fast-paced role, responsible for ensuring effective administration and minuting of Academy Governance Committee meetings for 12-14 academies across Coventry and Warwickshire, ensuring that they are consistent with Trust wide practice. The role will also be the point of contact for AGCs to provide them with governance advice and guidance, supported by the Trust Governance Manager.

The Governance Officer – Clerk to AGC’s will report to the Trust Governance Manager but will liaise with the Headteacher and the Academy Governance Committee Chair day to day.

The role is contractually based at St James C of E Academy. There is an expectation to minute meetings in person at the academies at times agreed with the Headteacher and Academy Governance Committee, which will usually be outside of normal working hours. As such, the successful candidate will need to be self-motivated and capable of managing a variable workload.
