With 57 schools, Lift Schools is one of the country's largest multi-academy trusts. Good governance is critical to school improvement and to the achievement of our strategic objectives. Education governance refers to the systems, policies, and processes through which an education system or institution is controlled, managed, and held accountable to achieve its goals and ensure quality. This is an exciting opportunity to join a friendly, agile and highly collaborative governance team that is deeply committed to serving schools and ensuring added value through robust governance. We are looking for a diplomatic and self-motivated Governance Officer who will be able to deal with a wide range of tasks and enquiries in an efficient and organised manner. You will be an integral part of ensuring day-to-day delivery of effective governance at all levels, including supporting processes related to parental complaints and pupil suspensions/exclusions, and will act as a main point of contact for schools. This role plays a crucial part in ensuring that our schools operate within a strong governance framework and that statutory and trust procedures are followed fairly and consistently. You will work closely with school leaders and our regional officers to ensure the effective handling of sensitive and complex matters. An interest in education governance is warmly welcomed and will be supported through professional development opportunities, but it is not essential for this role. We're a diverse and inclusive network of schools with one clear mission; to provide an excellent education to every child - in every classroom, every day. And we do this across each of our 57 schools. As with our students, we want our team to be empowered to do their best work, supported by the best leadership they've ever had. We acknowledge and appreciate the exceptional efforts of everyone here in making this an incredible organisation. We offer you: * Comprehensive training: Access a wide range of developmental training to boost your career. * Generous benefits: From your pension plan to healthcare and financial support, we've got you covered. * Lifestyle perks: Enjoy discounted gym memberships, travel deals, and even electric vehicle incentives.
