What we do - Trust Governance Recruit
Testimonials
'Appointing a Governance & Compliance Manager has been a key factor in ensuring governance within the newly established Trust is as effective as it can be. With us starting from a complete blank, Emma Perkin's advice in clearly identifying what the role needed to entail and the sort of candidate we would be looking for, as well as potential terms of employment such as the hours needed and level of pay, was invaluable. Without that advice and support we would probably be looking back on all sorts of missed opportunities and gaps, with regret.'
CEO, OWN Trust
Our team are passionate about the impact that a highly skilled governance professional can have on the quality of a trust’s governance. However, we recognise that this is an emerging role within the academy sector and one that trusts may be considering for the first time. We offer support to help you design the role and to recruit a governance professional to ensure you can find the best person for your trust:
- Scoping the role – academy trust governance roles can encompass a range of areas, from board, committee and local governance meeting delivery to policies, compliance, risk, complaints, exclusions, admissions, data protection, whistleblowing and more. We will support you to consider the key components of the role, the hours required and fit within the wider trust. We will lead the development of the role description to ensure a cohesive role that meets your trust’s needs.
- Promoting the role – help with creation of your job description, person specification and advert. We will signpost to places for your trust to promote the role through published advertising as well as through networks.
- Interviewing for the role – we will leverage our experience of building governance teams, and identifying the key skills required to succeed in this role, by designing the interview process and sitting on your panel.
