Clerk to the Governing Body - term time only, 90 hours per annum (paid monthly)

Leintwardine Endowed C of E Primary School is at the very north of Herefordshire on the border with Shropshire and Powys.  We are a small rural primary school with the desire to enable each of our children and staff members to reach their full potential and to let their individual light shine.  We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff members to share this commitment.

The Governing Body of Leintwardine Primary C of E Primary School are looking to appoint an experienced Clerk, proficient in IT and an excellent communicator.

The Clerk is accountable to the Governing Body, working closely with the Chairs of Governors, Head Teacher and Committee Chairs.  Ongoing training, advice and support is provided via Herefordshire Governor Association and The Diocese.

This is a part-time role, covering 3 Full Governing Body meetings and 6 sub-committee meetings each academic year.  Meetings take place in school early evening.  The Clerk will ideally:

  • Be knowledgeable in governance (although training will be given for the right candidate), providing procedural and legislative advice to governors
  • Remain impartial and maintain confidentiality
  • Prepare agendas and meeting papers
  • Attend each meeting and take minutes (notes)
  • Provide administration support, collating and recording information

We require the successful applicant to undertake an enhanced Criminal Record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service, prior to start.

Online searches will be carried out as part of the recruitment process for shortlisted candidates; any information gathered will be discussed at interview.
