Chair of Governors - Wimborne, Dorset, United Kingdom - Governors for Schools
Description
Are you eager to be inspired by the influence of education? Do you possess the abilities to lead a well-established board of governors? A school located in Wimborne is seeking a capable volunteer to spearhead school enhancement by taking on the role of chair of governors. What will your responsibilities entail? Governing bodies are accountable for the strategic management of a school and are tasked with making decisions on a wide array of issues. Some of the key responsibilities include ensuring accountability, offering support and constructive criticism to the senior leadership team, monitoring and assessing the school's progress, managing budget allocation, shaping plans for school improvement, setting the school's objectives and values, and appointing senior staff members including the Head Teacher. A school's governing body comprises representatives from the school, parents, and the local community. What qualities are we searching for? This position is at a Middle C of E School catering to ages 9-13. Ideally, we are looking for an individual with experience in strategic-level leadership and/or change management across various industries. However, we encourage candidates with diverse skill sets and experiences to apply. While being above 18 is a requirement, it is not necessary to be a parent or have school-aged children. External perspectives can often offer the fresh outlook that a school requires. Professional backgrounds in areas such as safeguarding, change management, and leadership, as well as soft skills like communication and problem-solving, are highly valuable to a school. What impact can you make? Governors make decisions that have long-lasting effects on schools. As a Chair of Governors, you will collaborate with Head Teachers and the Senior Management Team to ensure the delivery of top-notch education, aiding children in achieving their aspirations. Our recent survey shows that our volunteers contribute £9.9 million in value to schools annually, with 9 out of 10 volunteers endorsing the governor role to others. As a chair of governors, you will be encouraged to visit the school to familiarize yourself with its ethos and culture and witness the direct impact of your contributions by interacting with children, parents, and teachers. What's in it for the volunteer? Serving as a chair of governors is a demanding yet fulfilling position. As a member of the governing board, you will receive support from the vice chairs and the clerk to ensure the board operates effectively and remains focused on its core functions. You will also foster a collaborative environment within the board, enhancing its skills, knowledge, and experience. By volunteering, you will assist schools in overcoming challenges, ensuring a promising future for children in your community. You will collaborate with individuals from diverse backgrounds, challenging your own viewpoints and expanding your network. This experience will provide you with skills and insights beyond your job description that you can apply in your professional life. Before applying, candidates must complete an application form and undergo an interview with the school, with DBS checks being conducted. About Governors for Schools Goals: Governors for Schools is dedicated to enhancing educational standards to empower children and young individuals to reach their full potential. We believe that effective governance is key to enhancing school performance. By identifying, nurturing, and supporting a dedicated network of governors, we drive systematic improvements in how schools function. With over 20 years of experience connecting schools across England, we extended our services to Wales in 2020, leveraging the support of skilled volunteers and partnerships with businesses and universities.
