​Who are Governors for Schools?

Governors for Schools operates across England and Wales to improve educational standards and ensure all children and young people have the chance to realise their full potential.

We believe the key to improving school performance is effective governance. By finding, nurturing and supporting a committed network of governors, we drive positive systematic change that benefits each and every student, regardless of their background.

Governors for Schools recruits and matches volunteers with school governing boards and provides ongoing support.

What’s involved?

There are governor vacancies across England and Wales. Some schools are also looking for remote governors who don't need to live near the school they support.

Governors volunteer at board level to set the strategic vision for their school. This involves constructively challenging current processes, using your unique skills to support senior leaders, and overseeing school finances. You’ll be involved in areas such as monitoring, budget management, and data analysis. As well as putting your expertise to good use, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your professional skills. Ultimately, you’ll work towards facilitating the delivery of a broad and exciting curriculum and oversee wellbeing and inclusion initiatives. Governance represents a fantastic opportunity to develop yourself while making a real impact on the education of children and young people.

Governors work collaboratively with the headteacher and other members of the board, including parents and school staff. In most schools, full board meetings are held termly, as are committee meetings. Many governors will sit on a committee linked to their expertise or interests, such as teaching and learning or finance and resources. In addition to attending meetings, governors will need to read the papers in advance, complete training courses, and occasionally visit their school.

Governors usually support schools for a period of four years and with an estimated time commitment of 7 hours per month. During these hours, you will attend meetings, read papers, attend training sessions, and make occasional visits to school.

Who can be a governor?

The most important part of being a governor is the ability to ask questions, provide support and have the best interests of the school at heart. You don't have to be a parent or have experience in education to become a governor. Schools seek a  wide range of skills to support the board, including finance, HR, and data analysis.

Boards also need governors with a diversity of backgrounds and lived experiences to ensure a range of perspectives are considered during board meetings.

Schools welcome professional experience, as well as community insight and experience of working collaboratively.

You need to be aged 18 or above and there are certain criminal convictions that would exclude you from the role. A Disclosure and Barring Service check will be carried out by the school.

What’s the process?

You can find out more about the school governor role by attending one of our recruitment webinars.

You can complete your online profile on the website, including your motivation to take on the role, your skills and your school preferences. Your regional Partnership Manager will then look at vacancies that match your requirements. Once a school is identified, you will have the opportunity to discuss the role with them in more detail, visit the school, and observe a meeting. If appointed, a DBS check will take place and, in some cases, the school will seek references.

Ongoing support

Governors for Schools isn’t just a matching service. We want to help you thrive in your role through bespoke and ongoing support. We provide eLearning and monthly webinars covering a variety of topics to increase your knowledge of the education sector and governance. You’ll also have access to The Key for School Governors, an information hub designed to show new governors the ropes and offer a useful point of reference for existing governors.

Independent Board member at the National Housing Federation

Location: Nationwide

Make your expertise count!

The National Housing Federation (NHF) is the voice of England’s housing associations.

Our housing association members provide homes for around six million people and are driven by a social purpose: providing good quality housing that people can afford.

We support our members to deliver that social purpose, with ambitious work that leads to positive change, and we are looking for board members who are committed to helping us achieve this.

We have a vacant independent board member position and are looking to appoint to this post with a start date in September 2026.

Our board members come from both within and outside of the social housing sector, and we have a number of independent board members who bring a range of more diverse experiences.

On this occasion, we are inviting applications from people within the social housing sector to join us. We are particularly interested in hearing from our larger members, particularly those with a presence outside of London.

Successful candidates:

Although we do not expect the candidate to have experience in the housing sector, we are looking for relevant candidates with an interest in the sector or experience in working with membership organisations at a strategic level.

As a successful Board member, you will provide excellence in governance, be an ambassador and use your strategic skills to make us an even more effective organisation.

You will be involved in influencing the NHF’s business to ensure that we successfully manage the challenges and significant change that the future is set to bring.

In addition to the above, the essential experience required includes:

- Proven strategic leadership, vision, and a collegiate approach.
- A strong track record of championing equality, diversity, and inclusion, and delivering change.
- Governance expertise and strong analytical skills.
- An excellent track record of effective stakeholder relationship management and ambassadorial activities.
- A passion for the social housing sector's purpose and the current challenges.

NHF remains committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and we are actively encouraging applications from people with lived experience and from communities currently underrepresented on our Board.

Our current board is not sufficiently reflective of the diversity of our members and the communities our sector exists to serve. We are especially keen to change this and strongly encourage applications from people in the following groups to apply:

- Racially diverse backgrounds.
- Living with a disability/disabilities.
- LGBTQ+ community.
- Lived experience of social housing.
- We are Disability Confident Employer, and disabled applicants who demonstrate that they meet the essential criteria for this role will be offered an interview.

Commitment:
Board meetings will be a mixture of in-person meetings, generally held in central London and virtual video conference calls. There may be occasional national travel, reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.

In addition to Board meetings, each Board member also sits on one of NHF’s sub-committees, either our Audit and Risk Management Committee or our Nominations, Remuneration and Governance Committee. The total time commitment from Board members is approximately six days a year.

If you believe in our work and understand the value of exceptional governance, we would love to hear from you.

Closing date: Thursday 28th May 2026

Interview date: Friday 12th June 2026

To apply for the post, please provide your up-to-date CV and a brief statement on one side of A4, stating why you are interested in the post, demonstrating how you meet the above criteria.
To comply with our blind recruitment requirements, please remove your personal details from both documents. This will help us to shortlist candidates for interview based solely on their knowledge, skills and experience.
