Vacancies

We currently have a vacancy for a Co-opted Governor

At Burgh by Sands School, we are looking for a co-opted governor to join our governing board.  As a governor, you will be a volunteer who makes a vital contribution to the success of our school.

School governors have three main roles:

• Governors ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
  The governing body helps to set long-terms plans for the school, decide where improvements need to be made and how to make them.
• Governors hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
  The governing body looks at the quality of education being offered and ensures the head is doing everything possible to improve results.
• Governors oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its money is well spent.
  Governors examine budgets and spending proposals to monitor whether the school is getting value for money and ensure the money is spent in the right areas.

We welcome applications from anyone passionate about education and school improvement.  However, we are particularly interested in candidates with experience in:

• Human Resources
• Strategic Leadership

As our Governing board is mostly made up of parents, we are not considering applications from parents or grandparents at this time.  We are looking to broaden the board's composition to include a wider range of viewpoints and experiences.  

If you are interested, please send a short letter outlining what you could bring to our Governing Board and why you would like to join.

For any enquiries or to submit your application, please contact our Clerking Professional, Vicki Evans, Vicki.Evans@northumberland.gov.uk
