The postholder will act as a professional representative of the Trust, working closely with a range of internal and external stakeholders and demonstrating high levels of organisation, diplomacy, and confidentiality.
LAB meetings take place in the late afternoon and evening across schools in Wakefield, Kirklees, and Barnsley and are face-to face meetings.

The role is based in Wakefield, with working from home on Friday’s.
