Maintained School Governor

About the job

Luton Governor Services are looking for individuals to become school governors. You would be part of a friendly and supportive team of governors who contribute greatly to the continued success of each school.

Governors are people like you – you do not need to be a parent, but you do need to be over 18 and have a passion about improving the standard of education for all pupils in Luton schools. Any additional skills you have in either your work or family life is a bonus.

This is a voluntary role and you will be fully trained and supported throughout – meetings are generally held in the evenings and are a mixture of face to face and online.

School Governors work together to carry out their core functions:

Governors must also ensure that the governing body complies with all legal and statutory requirements.

• The opportunity to develop new skills and to strengthen existing ones.
• An opportunity to strengthen your own CV for future work opportunities or voluntary roles
• The opportunity to practise work talents. As part of a team, being a school governor will give you the opportunity to work with a wide range of people from a variety of social, cultural and religious backgrounds.
• The opportunity to gain an understanding of the decision-making process of school governing bodies and an awareness of the education system as a whole.
• The opportunity to make a real difference and the chance to contribute to the good of the community, leading to personal satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
• The opportunity to undertake training provided by the Local Authority on various aspects of the governor role.
