We are looking for a forward thinker with a depth of knowledge of corporate governance and the ability to strategically lead and shape our governance service. The Head of Governance will ensure that all layers of NEATs governance arrangements, which are made up of incredibly committed stakeholders, operate as a coherent whole, keeping the 'conscience' of NEAT. You will work collaboratively with the chair of the trust board, committee chairs and leaders across the organisation, ensuring that the board meets its statutory and regulatory responsibilities. NEAT is an exciting, innovative and growing organisation where we try to do things differently, aligned to our core values. Our trust is a collaborative partnership of, currently, six primary and secondary schools, a national research school and we also operate a trading subsidiary making the role both diverse and interesting. Our ideal candidate has extensive governance experience and an understanding of how this works in publicly accountable organisations. You will have a track record of building effective working relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders, especially at senior leadership and board level. Knowledge of the multi academy trust sector is not essential, but you must have a passion for education and improving the life chances of our learners. In return we offer: – a welcoming, friendly, hard–working and committed team of colleagues whom, at all levels, are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care; – competitive pay and conditions, including membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme; – a flexible and hybrid approach to working – real opportunities for personal development and career enhancement as the trust grows
