Governance: Become a Partnership Member

We are recruiting Members for our Community Hub Partnerships to pioneer an innovative model of school governance. Our Partnerships champion the voice of children, young people and families so that the perspectives of those most affected by education influence the way it is designed and delivered. 

Partnership members will help commission independent surveys, convene pupil and parent groups and gather evidence-based insights into school life, supported by expert governance professionals.  Meeting formally three times a year, the work of the Partnership is strategic, helping ensure that decision-making is grounded in the real-life experiences of our school communities.

We have four Partnerships, each covering a distinct geographical area in Bradford, Harrogate, Keighley and Skipton, and each supporting a number of Northern Star Academies Trust schools. 

Vacancies

We are currently recruiting to vacancies in the City (Bradford) and Harrogate Partnerships.

To apply, you must be aged at least 18, but don’t need any specific qualifications. You do need to believe in the transformative power of education and have the skills and experience that enable you to really understand your local community. We are keen to appoint people who have a blend of skills and experiences that enables them to understand the local context and contribute to strategic decision-making.

A determination to deliver the best for children and a commitment to work constructively with the Partnership is paramount.
