Clerk to the Governing Board
Part-time - term time only

If you are looking for a position that offers flexibility, variety and the opportunity to learn new skills, then this could be the role for you. Strictly Education is a trusted partner to over 2,000 schools and academy trusts and it is recruiting enthusiastic, self-motivated individuals to join its well-respected, friendly and supportive team to work with a variety of schools in the London and Surrey area.  This is the perfect position for someone seeking a flexible role that allows them to work at times that suit them, with the opportunity to fit the job around their other life commitments. The position is part-time during school term times with scheduled meetings at your assigned schools held most often either late afternoon or early evening.  The successful candidate will have the opportunity to learn new skills, to understand more about the educational system and to become a valued and integral member of a school’s governing body.
Strictly Education works closely with schools throughout the country to deliver a broad range of services and, as a clerk, you will be given the opportunity to take on several different assignments according to your capacity and availability. There will also be ad-hoc assignment opportunities, such as covering one-off meetings, which will be offered on a regular basis, meaning that you have the option to increase your hours and earnings during key times of the academic year, should you wish. The role is mainly home-based with a requirement to attend schools for onsite meetings.  Knowledge of school governance would be an advantage; however, this is not essential as extensive training and support will be provided.
