Do you have an interest in good governance, decision-making and administration?
We are looking for an enthusiastic team player to work in a busy team servicing School Appeals in Coventry.
This is a role with a difference!
This is a part time role. However, we are looking for someone who doesn’t want to be tied down to fixed hours every Monday – Friday.
Although the position is 22 hours per week, the hours can be annualised across the year.
So, what does that mean for you if you annualise the hours?
There is an expectation that the successful candidate would work longer hours, usually 9.00am to 5.00pm during May, June and July and at additional periods throughout the year where the service needs require.
To offset this, you would be require to work shorter periods across the remainder of the year.
Whilst we anticipate this would result in the post holder not being required to work during August and school holidays, this would be subject to service needs and planned in advance.
We are looking for someone to join the Governance Services Team to provide high-quality legal and administrative support for school appeal hearings. This will include.
- Assisting with the co-ordination of the annual cycle of school appeals
- Supporting the recruitment, training and development of Panel Members
- Administering and servicing school appeal hearings
- Providing advice and guidance to Panel Members, parents, school representatives and officers
- Developing the service to promote best practice and meet customer needs.
The skills you will bring to the role include:
- A good knowledge of governance processes and experience of working in an administrative environment, ideally working within legal frameworks
- Clear and well-structured written work, including reports, letters and notes
- The ability to give good, sound, pragmatic, concise and clear advice to Panel Members at hearings and members of the public enquiring about the appeal process.
- You will have the ability to work under pressure in a challenging but interesting environment.
