Exeter School is seeking a Governor who brings a strong commitment to child welfare and pupil wellbeing. The successful candidate will have experience working with children or young people and will bring the judgement, discretion and confidence to provide appropriate support, scrutiny and constructive challenge. The School would particularly welcome candidates with experience gained in education or related sectors such as healthcare, social care, children’s charities or senior policing, together with the ability to operate effectively within a school environment. The ideal candidate will also demonstrate a dedication to pastoral support, mental health and pupil wellbeing, alongside a commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive and nurturing environment in which young people can thrive.
Exeter School welcomes applications from both experienced non-executives and those taking on a Governor role for the first time. Previous trustee or governor experience would be beneficial but is not essential. Likewise, while a connection to the South West or an appreciation of the regional context would be welcomed, the School is open to candidates from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.
Exeter School is partnering with Nurole, the leading board-level search specialist, to find a Governor. You can find out more and apply here.
