Are you ready to make a difference to a child's education?
With 57 schools, Lift Schools is one of the country’s largest multi-academy trusts. Good governance is critical to school improvement and to the achievement of our strategic objectives. Education governance refers to the systems, policies, and processes through which an education system or institution is controlled, managed, and held accountable to achieve its goals and ensure quality.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a friendly, agile and highly collaborative governance team that is deeply committed to serving schools and ensuring added value through robust governance.

This role plays a crucial part in ensuring that our schools operate within a strong governance framework and that statutory and trust procedures are followed fairly and consistently. You will work closely with school leaders and our regional officers to ensure the effective handling of sensitive and complex matters.

We’re a diverse and inclusive network of schools with one clear mission; to provide an excellent education to every child - in every classroom, every day. And we do this across each of our 57 schools. As with our students, we want our team to be empowered to do their best work, supported by the best leadership they’ve ever had.
