Become a School Governor and benefit from free personal and professional development
Schools need committed people to join their governing boards. Volunteering as a school governor is a rewarding role, providing excellent opportunities for personal and professional development in an exciting and challenging environment. At the same time you are contributing to education in your local community. By volunteering as a school governor you will develop and improve your skills in:
- strategic leadership
- building relationships
- project management
- effective teamworking
- budget control
- data analysis
- communication
- recruitment and selection
- influencing/negotiation
Volunteer as a school or college governor through our free Government funded Inspiring Governance recruitment service. Once placed we provide volunteers with a variety of support including eLearning.
Our commitment to the Armed Forces community
Inspiring Governance has signed the Armed Forces Covenant to show our support. We feel there are key service personnel and family members, with a wide variety of skills and experience, who could contribute significantly to schools and outcomes for young people, as well as benefiting from the CPD opportunity themselves. Benefits are significant for the entire Armed Forces Community including for partners, spouses and adult family members looking for an opportunity to develop skills.
