Governance Professional & Trust Administration job summary

Thank you for your interest in this post. Our family of schools currently stands at seven: one special school; four primary schools; and two secondary schools. We serve over 3100 pupils and more than 550 staff. We also are unique in that we educate more than 132 apprentices and are our own apprenticeship provider.​

We are clustered in the southeast of Lincolnshire, predominately in the South Holland district of the county. These are rural communities and often hold many challenges for our young people in terms of access to services and opportunities. To some this is a challenge, to us it is our mission: ‘to enhance life choices’ and ‘to transform lives’.​

To date, the trust has experienced many successes in terms of opportunities, improved outcomes for our young people and success in Ofsted too. These achievements are underpinned by robust governance and effective organisational support.​

We are keen to find the right person and we will support their professional development, including the opportunity to undertake a Level 4 Governance Officer apprenticeship, subject to meeting all criteria.​

The role of Lead Governance Professional & Trust Administrator is central to this success. You will play a critical part in ensuring that governance across the Trust is effective, compliant, and strategically focused. By supporting Trustees, Local Governing Bodies, and senior leaders, you will help ensure that decisions are well-informed, transparent, and ultimately in the best interests of our pupils.​

This role goes beyond administration—it is a professional governance function that ensures:​

• statutory and regulatory compliance​
• high-quality clerking and advisory support​
• effective communication between governance and leadership​
• the smooth operation of decision-making structures across the Trust​

Like all roles within our wider support teams, this position is vital in enabling both staff and pupils to thrive. It offers a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine and lasting impact on the lives of young people.
