Appointment of Clerk to the Governors

Part-Time, Permanent for September 2025

St Joseph’s College are seeking to recruit a Clerk to the Governors for a September 2025 start. The person will report into the Chair of Governors and the appointed candidate will need to work flexibly and attend early evening and daytime meetings on a part-time basis. The post is for approximately 180 hours per annum (approximately 5 weeks’ work).

Meetings are held predominantly in the early evening (some Governors join virtually) but occasionally in the daytime as required. Previous experience of working in a school environment would be an advantage but is not essential.

For an informal chat, please contact the Chair of Governors, Hilary Buckle, via email address chair@sjcr.org.uk, with your telephone number and preferred time to call. We reserve the right to appoint before the application deadline, so early applications are encouraged.

Closing Date: 9am – 11 August 2025.
Interviews are likely to take place in August.
