Vacancy:
Clerk to Governing Board


Greenmount Primary School is a school community that works hard to provide the very best for its children and their development.

The Governing Board oversees the way that the school is run, ensuring that it fulfils all statutory responsibilities, and the children get the best education possible.

Due to the forthcoming retirement of the current post-holder, an opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and self-reliant individual to join the staff in the provision of professional clerking services to the Board.


Key responsibilities include:

Provide effective administrative support to the governing board, which involves preparing agendas in consultation with the Chair of Governors and Head teacher,

Taking and writing up the minutes and distributing documentation and other information to Governors;
Efficiently manage information and administer meetings;

Provide advice to the governing body on governance, constitutional and procedural matters, which you will learn as you develop into the role.


This is a part-time post, which offers some flexibility. Board meetings are held in school, normally in the evenings, and take place two to three times per term.
Greenmount provides a stimulating, caring and safe environment for children and their families and its staff, volunteers, and governors. Support for the post-holder will be provided by the Chair, Headteacher and the Isle of Wight Governor Services department.

There will be excellent opportunities to develop knowledge and skills, with an expectation of attendance at training, briefings, and other network events (whether in person or virtual).

The post-holder will also have access to sources of self-directed learning and professional development activities.


Greenmount Primary School is an equal opportunities employer, committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and an enhanced disclosure is required for this post.
