What skills and experience we're looking for
Clerk to the Governing Body
3.5 hours per week, paid for 52 weeks per year, NJC scale point 17 (£15.58 per hour, total annual salary £2,835)
Required as soon as possible
We are looking to appoint a Clerk to support the work of our Governing Body. The role would suit someone who has spare time in the evenings and who can be flexible with their working hours. Experience of a similar Clerking role would be helpful but not essential as some training can be provided.
Great Western Academy opened in September 2018 and has state-of-the-art facilities in North Swindon. The school is heavily oversubscribed in years 7 to 11 and the Sixth Form is flourishing. Our philosophy of Achievement, Care and Excellence permeates all we do, with Care firmly at the centre of this. We use the phrase “Work Hard, Be Kind” to summarise what we expect of students and to create a culture of positive support where students behave well and are able to thrive, whatever their needs, and where they are proactively and effectively safeguarded.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with the Governing Body in shaping and ensuring the continued success of the Academy.
Great Western Academy Trust is set up as a multi-Academy Trust but currently consists only of Great Western Academy itself. Experience of working for an Academy Trust would therefore be an advantage to an application.
Hours for this role will average out at 3.5 hours per week over a year.
Further details are available on the Academy website www.gwacademy.co.uk and in the information documents attached.
Applications should be submitted electronically to recruitment@gwacademy.co.uk by 9am Monday 6th January 2025. Interviews will take place as soon as possible after the closing date.
Please note we may interview before the closing date (and close the advert early) depending on the suitability, and number of, applicants.
What the school offers its staff

- Excellent CPD opportunities
- State of the art facilities
