We are very excited to be recruiting to the post of Corporate Governance Manager.

Nexus MAT formed in June 2016 and over the past decade has grown and developed to become a leading provider of state education across South Yorkshire. We are a collective of 20 schools (and counting), a mix of special schools, alternative provision, and mainstream. We have been successful twice at the annual National Governance Association awards, and we have a relentless focus on improvement and development.

Our Opportunity

We are now seeking to appoint a talented, capable and creative manager to this role. We are seeking candidates who have the ability to:

• Lead our information governance function – ensuring the continued quality, timeliness, and compliance of our responses to statutory requests;
• Develop our information governance processes across the Trust to address the needs of the future;
• Work supportively with colleagues around digital systems, complaints, and all areas of data protection and information governance.

The vision for Nexus MAT is that we are “Learning together, to be the best we can be”, and the style of the successful candidate will be a key determining factor in the selection process.

The post will be paid on local government terms and conditions. The successful applicant will be enrolled/transferred into the Local Government Pension Scheme.
