This is a varied role, so please refer to the Job Description for a detailed outline of the key responsibilities. In summary these include: -
- Organising Corporation and committee meetings, collating and circulating papers, taking formal minutes, monitoring following up actions, liaising with governors and senior management and maintaining the governance cycle of business.

Ideally, you’ll have a relevant governance and/or business administration qualification (or be able to prove equivalent ability) and have demonstrable experience in a busy and complex organisation. You will be expected to manage your workload effectively, work without supervision, and deliver high-quality outputs under tight deadlines.

Due to the nature of our work, it’s essential you’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
We believe learning is not just for our students: it’s an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers.
