The Role

Lighthouse Schools Partnership is a Multi-Academy Trust. There are currently 33 schools in the Trust with further schools joining in the next few months.

The Trust is cross-phase and includes Infant, Junior, Primary and Secondary schools. The Lighthouse Schools Partnership is a mixed MAT and includes both non-denominational and Church of England schools.

We have a number of opportunities for Clerks to Governors to join the Lighthouse Schools Partnership. The new Clerks to Governors will play a pivotal role in ensuring the effectiveness of our local governance boards and processes.

Hours of the role are dependent on the number of meetings held by each school, and there are opportunities for further hours if desired, this may be through supporting additional meetings at other schools.
