About the Post

We are seeking to appoint a Local Advisory Board (LAB) Clerk as part of the Clerking Team based in the Trust's Core Services central provision.

The Clerk will predominantly be working with the Twynham School/The Grange School joint LAB, but may be required to support any of the Trust schools and Trust Board, as required, on a flexible basis.

The LAB Clerk will be accountable to the Trust's Governance Manager, working effectively with the Chair of the LAB, Headteachers and other LAB Members.

The Clerk will work within the guidelines of the DfE Clerking Competency Framework, providing administrative and organisational support to the LAB, guidance to the LAB in compliance with the appropriate legal and regulatory framework, advising on procedural matters whilst securing the continuity of LAB's business, and observing confidentiality requirements.

The role could be undertaken from the Core Services offices (based at The Grange School) or from home.

The exception would be for fixed meeting dates and times, which will be either at the relevant school site or remotely via MS Teams.
