Governor Services offer Warwickshire School Governors access to training, support, advice and guidance and to support our increasing service provision, we are looking to strengthen our team of trainers.

Training is a vital part of the development of every governor and clerk and we are looking for people who are interested and/or knowledgeable in School Governance to join our team.

In addition to delivering training and development opportunities our trainers provide focused advice and guidance in specialist areas e.g. finance, health and safety, SEND. 

The work is varied and can include:  

• The delivery of centre based training courses;
• Providing bespoke/tailored training to individual governing boards;
• Analysing the work of governing boards;
• Supporting and advising governing boards of schools facing tough challenges with targeted advice and guidance.

Governors are volunteers but our trainers are paid according to the work undertaken and out of pocket expenses can also be claimed (actual remuneration will be discussed).

Trainers will also receive training, development and support to ensure they are comfortable and confident in their role
