  • Strong communication and organisation skills
  • Ability to manage your own time and meet strict deadlines
  • Willingness to travel locally and work evenings
  • A commitment to confidentiality, integrity, and professionalism.

Desirable: Governance or education sector experience, familiarity with Church school distinctiveness, or National Training Programme for Clerks.

We Offer

  • £20.00 per hour + holiday pay
  • Local Government Pension Scheme
  • Ongoing CPD and training opportunities
  • Mileage and business travel expenses
  • A welcoming and purpose-driven team environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to local education while working flexibly in a supportive, values-led organisation.
