Working at Governors for Schools

We’re a small charity making a big difference to education for children. Our ambition is to make sure every school in England and Wales has excellent governance which drives improved outcomes for all children and young people – and our talented and committed team are making that happen.

We’re committed to employing a diverse workforce.  Diverse organisations are more effective and we value different experiences and backgrounds. We offer flexible working and welcome applications from people with experience outside of the charity and education sectors, who can demonstrate our values and a passion for improving education.
