Alternative Provision Learning Support Assistant Advert

Job Description

Application Form

We are looking for two parent governors on our newly formed academy committee. Parent governors are elected by and from the parents/carers of children currently attending our school. Parents bring a very important and valued perspective to the work of the academy committee.

The role of the academy committee

The school’s academy committee is responsible for providing confident and strategic leadership, and creating robust accountability, oversight and assurance for the school’s educational performance. The committee is passionate about education and committed to continuous school improvement to ensure the best possible outcomes for our pupils.

The role of a parent governor

As a parent governor, you’ll work with the committee to make sure it effectively carries out the duties referred to above. You’ll also play a vital role in bringing a parental perspective to the committee, but you’re not there to speak ‘on behalf’ of the parent body.

To be a parent governor you should have:

· A strong commitment to the role and to improving outcomes for children

· Good inter-personal skills, curiosity, and a willingness to learn and develop new skills

· The specific skills required to make sure the academy committee delivers effective governance

Whilst previous experience of school governance is useful, this is by no means a pre-requisite for this role as full support and induction training is provided. Joining the academy committee will allow you to develop your skills in areas such as strategic planning, experience on a board, decision making, communication and team work.

Expectations of governors

In terms of time commitment, we expect that governors will attend up to 8 meetings a year, which take place on Wednesday’s. Meeting times vary between 4-5pm and last approximately 2 hours. It is expected that governors will make use of the various training opportunities available to them and play a full part in the work of the committee which would include visits to see the school in action. The term of office for a parent governor is 4 years.

How to apply

If you’re interested in applying for the role, please complete the candidate form attached to this letter and return to the Clerk to Governors, via: pateman-jennifer@mayfield.portsmouth.sch.uk by Friday 25th October 2024. If we receive more applications than there are vacancies, a secret ballot will be carried out. We will inform you closer to the time if we have to do this.

If you have any queries about this process or would like to find out more about the role, please contact the Clerk to Governors, via: pateman-jennifer@mayfield.portsmouth.sch.uk.
