We have a vacancy for a Team Administrator with specialism in Governance to join us on a full time permanent basis.

The role of Team Administrator – Governance is designed to provide professional and high-quality support to our nine key governance forums and trustee meetings.

The role includes organising meetings, issuing meeting invites and being the point of contact for queries from external stakeholders/partners. A large proportion of the job is taking and drafting minutes, reviewing  the drafts with the Chair of the respective governance meeting, distributing the minutes to governance meeting members / trustees and following up on key actions arising in readiness for the subsequent meeting.

Another important aspect of this specialism is to act as the point of contact for our key stakeholders and trustees including head teachers and governors of our Church schools and representative of our multi-academy trusts.

It should be noted that many of the meetings take place outside of normal office hours, so some flexibility will be required for evening or very occasional weekend meetings.

We welcome applications from all suitable candidates including those independent of the church, and for clarification, this role does not carry a Genuine Occupational Requirement to be a Christian or person of faith.

To the successful candidate, we offer a salary which is competitive within the charity sector, a very generous non-contributory pension scheme, and a modern open plan office environment with free onsite parking for when you are not working flexibly from home.

If you feel excited about being part of this team, have extensive administration experience (particularly in detailed and accurate minute taking), work with an efficient and organised style delivering a confidential and professional service, we would very much welcome an application from you.

The full role details including job description and person specification can be found in the attached application pack. There is also contact details for the line manager of the role, Mia Elliott, Office & Facilities Manager, who would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.

Your application should consist of a completed application form and supporting statement (no more than two sides of A4) detailing your reasons for applying, what you can bring to the post and how you meet its requirements.

The closing date for receipt of applications is Midnight on 31 October 2021 and the application should be sent by email - details of the address are in the pack and at the end of the application form.

We look forward to hearing from you!

About the Education and Employers charity 

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here. 

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work. 

Nearly 65,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring. 

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America. 

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 2 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place. 

The charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement. 

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.
