Cottesmore St Mary Catholic Primary is looking for a clerk who will support our governing body by providing up to date advice on governance matters and a high level of administrative assistance. As well as arranging meetings, taking minutes, keeping records and advising the governing body on local and national developments that will impact on their work, you will be able to research and investigate new model policies and give advice to new governors or those taking on new positions.

You must have experience of minute-taking, good ICT and communication skills and be able to work with minimal supervision. Training for clerks is provided by the local authority, as well as opportunities to network with other clerks.

Flexibility in terms of working hours is required. There are seven committee meetings and one full Governing Body Meeting each term. Main Governing Body Meetings take place after school, committee meetings are flexible. You will be required to clerk working groups and panels as required, for which you will be paid extra hours.
