Advert

We are seeking a well organised and efficient person to take up the post of Clerk to our Governing Body. We have a strong Governing Body with governors who are committed to their role.


The role involves clerking for three or four Full Governing Body meetings, six Strategy Committee meetings, three Resources Committee meetings and one Admissions Committee meeting over the course of the year.

With attendance at the meetings, preparation and follow up work, we anticipate this role needs someone able to commit approximately 200 hours a year. Our meetings are currently held either: early morning (8am – 10am), late afternoon (3.15pm – 5.30pm) and early evening (5.30pm – 7.30pm).


Previous experience of Clerking is not essential but some experience of working in a role where accuracy in recording meetings would be very useful. It is vital that our Clerk is computer literate and confident using email as a form of communication.

In order to apply, please complete the online application form.

Informal visits to the school are welcome; please contact our School Secretary to arrange an appointment; office@chevening.kent.sch.uk or 01732 452895
