Parent Governor Vacancy

We have a vacancy for a parent governor which we need to fill as soon as possible. Haven Nursery School has always aimed for a partnership with parents which undoubtedly brings great benefits to the children. One of the most significant ways you can help in promoting this aim is to volunteer to be a parent governor.

The governing body's main tasks are:

· to ensure that the Centre has a clear vision, ethos and strategic direction;

· to hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the Centre and its pupils;

· to oversee the financial performance of the Centre and making sure its money is well spent.

Parent governors are welcomed as valued members of the team and play a vital role in ensuring the governing body is aware of the views of parents and the local community. We feel sure that there are parents prepared to take on this important role and give their time and commitment to helping us to continue to improve the Centre's performance.

The Governing Body is made up of members with a range of different backgrounds and skill sets. We would be particularly interested in hearing from potential Governors with a background in supporting wellbeing and mental health. However, this is not essential and we would be interested to hear from all applicants.

Training and support will be available to help you develop into the role. This will include in-house mentoring and support as well as access to external governor training. You might like to look at the information for prospective governors on the Hampshire Governor Services website.

Visits to the Nursery are warmly welcomed, please contact Jodie Hope, Headteacher to arrange an appointment or for an informal telephone conversation. For more information or to apply, please see our website www.haven-sch.org/vacancies or call into reception and request an application pack. Closing date for the applications is 12.00 noon on Wednesday 28^th September 2022.

Please note that for the protection of children all governor appointments are subject to an identity check to include a full enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

If there are more applications than vacancies, we will hold an election which we would send further details about if this is the case.
