This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing Governance team in a thriving multi-academy trust.
Northern Lights Learning Trust is looking for a dedicated Governance Officer to provide
exceptional support across our Trust. In this vital role, you will work closely with Governors,
Headteachers, leaders and Central Team to ensure the effective delivery of governance
services.
Key responsibilities include preparing and managing Local Governing Body (LGB) meetings,
providing advice and support to governors and Headteachers, overseeing compliance at a
Local Governance level with academy websites and GIAS.
The Governance Officer will also play a key role in the ongoing design and development of
governance processes; ensuring the way we work provides impactful and efficient strategic,
statutory and operational support. Governance experience is preferred, but not essential – if
you’re detail-oriented, organised, and passionate about education, we would love to hear
from you!
