Do you want to be inspired by the impact of education? Schools across Medway are looking for skilled volunteers to support education by becoming school governors.
What will you be doing?
Governing bodies are responsible for the strategic management of a school and will make decisions about a wide range of issues
The core responsibilities involved are:
- Ensuring accountability
- Providing support and challenge to the schools senior leadership team
- Monitoring and evaluating the school’s progress
- Budgetary allocation and control
- Shaping plans for school improvement and overseeing their implementation
- Setting the school’s aims and values
- Appointing senior members of staff including the Head Teacher
The governing body is usually split in to a small number of committees, each responsible for one area such as finance or pupil achievement. These committees will meet separately from the main governing body to discuss relevant issues in more detail. Discussion is then fed back at a full governing body meeting.
A school governing body is made up of representatives from the school, the parents, the local authority and the local community.
What are we looking for?
You don’t need any specific skills or experience to be a school governor. You must be over 18, but you don’t need to be a parent or have experience working in education. Often, it’s the outside perspective you can bring that a school needs.
Professional experience in areas such as HR, finance, law, or project management are all useful to a school. But soft skills such as leadership, communication, and problem solving are also great additions.
What difference will you make?
Governors make decisions that affect schools for years to come. Our recent impact survey found that our volunteers bring £9.9 million worth of value to schools each year, and 9/10 volunteers would recommend being a governor to a friend.
As a governor, you can visit the school to gain an understanding of the culture and ethos and to get the most out of the role. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet children, parents, and teachers, and see the impact of your work first-hand.
What's in it for the volunteer?
Volunteering as a school governor is a challenging but rewarding role. As part of the governing board, you’ll:
- help schools overcome challenges to ensure a bright future for children in your community
- work collaboratively with people from different backgrounds, challenging your own perspective and broadening your network
- gain experience outside of your job description and skills you can bring back to work
Before you apply
You will need to complete an application form and will have an interview with the school. DBS checks will be taken up.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Men’s Self‑Improvement Programme Volunteers
Help Build the Frontline of a New Movement for Men
At MINDSET, we’re not here to tweak the system — we’re here to rebuild it. Men across England and Wales are stuck between long waiting lists, clinical models that don’t fit, and a culture that tells them to “man up”. We’re changing that.
We’re launching a brand-new Men’s Self‑Improvement Programme, and we’re looking for committed volunteers to help shape, deliver, and grow the work that will transform men’s lives.
The Mission
1. Build the Blueprint
Help design and develop practical, high‑impact sessions focused on mental fitness, personal growth, and real‑world self‑improvement.
2. Lead the Frontline
Support and deliver our direct work with men — creating spaces that are positive, structured, and genuinely useful.
3. Shift the Culture
Help us challenge outdated narratives about men’s wellbeing and spark a national conversation about growth, strength, and self‑leadership.
4. Evolve the Model
Gather real feedback, test ideas, and help us refine the programme so it always meets men where they are.
The Vibe
We’re informal, direct, and relentlessly positive. No jargon. No judgement. No fluff.
You’ll have:
-
Freedom to create
-
Space to lead
-
A real role in shaping a national movement from day one
This is hands-on, meaningful, legacy-building work.
Sound like you?
If you’re passionate about men’s personal development, confident working with people, and excited by the idea of building something from scratch, we’d love to have you on the team.
Join the MINDSET Mission
Help us build the future of men’s self‑improvement.
To empower men across England to take charge of their mental wellbeing and personal growth through connection, conversation, and community.
