What the school offers its staff

We are a partnership of 15 primary and secondary schools, employing over 1,000 staff, delivering education to 7,000 children and young people aged 2-18 to schools in Bradford, Harrogate and Skipton.

We are looking for ambitious governance professional looking to develop their career at a senior level within a growing trust.

As part of the Corporate Affairs Team, the Senior Governance Professional will provide support to schools’ local governing bodies (LGBs) and also Trustees on the main board. As well as supporting LGBs personally, the postholder will co-ordinate the work of a small number of governance clerks. The postholder will also work closely with the Director of Corporate Affairs to support the main Trust Board and its committees.

The Trust is currently undertaking a governance review to streamline processes to ensure that they remain appropriate for a growing Trust. The postholder will contribute to the design and implementation of that review.

As a Trust, we have a track record of investing in the development of our people to support them in their career. In addition, we offer generous pension arrangements on top of salary. This role is offered on a term time basis, plus two additional weeks a year.
