Become a Local Governing Committee Governor for Melksham House School!
Brunel Education are currently recruiting Governors to support our new school based in Melksham.
If you are a professional who has an interest in education and wants to support the Leadership Team with your passion, experience and knowledge – we would love to hear from you!
Governors don’t need specific qualifications, just an ability to listen, think through new ideas and decide what’s best for our school as part of a team. You will need to set high expectations and be able to ask challenging questions, but you are not expected to make day to day decisions about how the school is run… That’s the job of the Head Teacher and their Senior Leadership Team.
The Local Governing Committee (LGC) is a unique and collaborative group of provision employees, parents and professionals who are dedicated to ensuring our learners receive the very best in their educational lifecycle. It is a real opportunity to make a positive difference and become a key part of the community our provision serves.
More about your contribution and commitments
This role is voluntary, and meetings are a minimum of 3 LGC Business Meetings and 3 additional LGC meetings focusing on the quality of education, and a number of committee meetings each year which you will be consulted on in advance. There may be times where you are requested at short notice to join urgent meetings - but in these rare cases this is avoided as much as possible.
Establishing and maintaining professional relationships with senior leaders and colleagues on the LGC will be key, so your ability to build relationships with colleagues is pivotal, and getting to know the provision, including visiting occasionally during operational hours will be ideal for you to integrate yourself as an active member of the LGC.
To discuss the role in further detail, please contact Michelle Carter (Head of Governance) at carterm @brunel.org.uk or apply now via this page!
