Clerk to Governors
Job introduction
Senior Clerk
We are looking for a clerk who will provide high level advice, support and administrative assistance to our governing body. This involves arranging meetings, taking minutes, keeping records and advising the governing body on local and national developments that will impact on their work.
5 hours per week, plus extra hours for clerking working groups and panels.
Paid weeks per year: 52
Start date: January 2021
About the role
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.
We are ideally looking for an experienced professional who can be employed at the Senior Clerk level. However we are also able to provide development opportunities for those who wish to work towards this level, so can offer the role at Scale 3 in the first instance. The local authority offers a 12 month Clerks’ Development Programme, which you would be expected to complete before moving to the next level.
Flexibility in terms of working hours is required. There are 3 Full Governing Body meetings each year and 7 committee meetings. Senior clerks are also required to clerk working groups and panels as required, for which you will be paid extra hours.
