Haylands Primary School is a popular school community that works hard to provide the very best for its pupils and their development. The Governing Board oversees the way that the school is run, ensuring that it fulfils all statutory responsibilities, and the children get the best education possible. An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and self-reliant individual to join the school staff in the provision of professional clerking services to the Board.
Key responsibilities include:
Providing effective administrative support to the governing board, which involves preparing agendas in consultation with the Chair of Governors and Headteacher;
Taking and writing up the minutes and distributing documentation and other information to Governors;
Efficiently managing information and administering meetings;
Maintaining the schedule of policies for review and approval;
Providing advice to the Governing Board on compliance, governance, constitutional and procedural matters, which you will learn as you develop into the role.
This is a part-time post, which offers flexibility as much of the work is conducted away from the school. Board meetings are held in school, normally in the evenings, and take place two to three times per term.
Haylands Primary School provides a stimulating, caring and safe environment for children and their families and its staff, volunteers, and governors. Support for the post-holder will be provided by the Chair, Headteacher and the Isle of Wight Council Governor Services department. There will be excellent opportunities to develop knowledge and skills, with an expectation of attendance at training, briefings, and other network events (whether in person or virtual). The postholder will also have access to sources of self-directed learning and professional development activities, including the opportunity to achieve an accredited qualification.
Haylands Primary School and the Isle of Wight Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant employment checks. This post is classed as regulated activity (ancillary role) and is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
