Recruitment resources for schools

Help with advertising vacancies – resources for schools

While we do our utmost to attract volunteers across the country, we can’t claim to be able to fill every vacancy. Unfortunately in many areas, we have fewer people waiting to be a school governor than vacancies. To help you maximise the chances of finding a school governor for your role quickly, we’ve created resources to support your local advertising.

By sharing details of your vacancy via posters, social media posts and letters you’ll maximise your reach and may fill the role more quickly. Additionally, we’d strongly recommend you ask people to apply via our website. This is so they can still access our resources and support. During the application process, they can also tell us that are interested in your school specifically.

Interactive vacancy poster

Use a poster to share details of your vacancy. We’ve designed one for you, which can be edited to include your school details before you print. Above all, ask at local shops, libraries, and community centres if they’ll display details of the opportunity.
