The posting

Please note that applications will be reviewed as received and should a suitable candidate be identified, we may close the vacancy early. Therefore, early application is encouraged.

The vacancy

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Approximately 82 annualised hours per school per year (equivalent to 1.89 hours per week), paid in equal monthly instalments throughout the year.

We currently have three vacancies supporting Local Governing Committees across the Swindon.

Candidates may apply for one school or multiple schools, enabling them to build a larger role. Additional schools may also be added to contracts over time, subject to availability and mutual agreement.

Local Governance Committee meetings take place during school term time, usually in the evening, although there are some daytime and late afternoon options. While the role is paid throughout the year, the majority of work is undertaken during term time.

We couldn’t do what we do without our fantastic clerking team, and you would play a key role in supporting our schools and Local Governance Committees, providing guidance and advice on governance. This is fantastic opportunity to join us on our journey, working in a key role to ensure our local governors are fully supported, and a record is made of meetings, decisions and action points.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
