Governor Vacancies
We currently have one co-opted governor vacancy. If you are interested in the role and would like to find out more, please contact the clerk to the Governing Body on spsclerk@saltdean.brighton-hove.sch.uk.
Desired expertise could include strategic leadership skills such as development planning, chairing meetings or budget monitoring, or knowledge of the local community (either where you live or work). You do not have to be a parent (except for a parent governor vacancy) or an education expert, but you do need to be a good team player and willing to learn more about your role. This can be done by attending training, school visits and sharing information and experience with other governors. Anyone aged 18 and over can apply. For this vacancy, we would welcome applications from candidates with HR experience in an advisory capacity.
We are keen to ensure that the membership of our governing board reflects the diversity of the pupils in our school and community and recognise the importance of cultural diversity in strategic roles in schools. Therefore, we always welcome applications from under-represented groups, such as minority ethnic backgrounds.
