Exciting Leadership Opportunity in Governance

Are you passionate about excellence in governance and making a real impact in education? We are looking for a dynamic and experienced professional to lead governance and corporate support across the Learning Community Trust, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of our Multi-Academy Trust.

As the Trust's governance professional, you will be at the heart of decision-making, providing expert advice and support to trustees, senior leaders, and local governors. You'll drive best practices, ensure compliance and accountability, and foster a culture of professionalism, excellence, and continuous improvement in governance.
