We are currently looking for a Co-opted governor to join our governing body and would love to attract individuals from our local community who have the skills and experience to contribute to the success of our school. You do not need to be a parent to become a co-opted governor. 

This is a challenging but hugely rewarding role, where you can make a real difference to young people, give something back to your local community and use and develop your skills in a nurturing unique level environment.

We would especially like to hear from you if you have: 

• A desire to contribute to and represent our community 
• An open and enquiring mind 
• The ability to look at issues objectively 
• The confidence to ask questions and join in debate 
• A willingness to listen and make informed judgements 
• The ability to work well with others 
• Willingness to dedicate your time 

As a growing school, we’re keen to appoint individuals with experience in HR, finance, data analysis, safeguarding, SEND and Health & Safety to add to the existing range of skills on the board. The full governing body meets at least twice a term, with separate working parties who meet when required. Most of our current governors work full time and manage to fit in their role around their other commitments, but we welcome retirees, part time workers or anyone with the skills and passion for the job. 

You don’t need to have prior experience of being a governor, there is plenty of excellent training and mentoring available to you. Plus, the support of a talented and supportive team to work with who are passionate about helping Hazelbury Bryan Primary School deliver the best education possible for every pupil. 

If you would like to know more about the vacancy, please email office@hazelbury.dorset.sch.uk or speak to Andy Muir, our Chair of Governors.
