The Board of Governors requires administrative and clerical support which includes attendance of 10 meetings per year which take place during the evening (5.30 - 7.30pm). The post involves taking minutes, circulation of reports, preparations of agendas, letters and other specific duties for which close liaison with the Headteacher, Office Manager and Chair of Governors is essential. Some of the work requires coming into school during the school day.
