Governance Opportunities

Volunteer & Make a difference

Governance is a strength in our trust but if you are curious, collaborative, critical and creative, want to contribute to improving children’s outcomes and interested in governance at Turner Schools - we would like to hear from you!

These are voluntary roles and rewarding opportunities to use your skills, develop further skills and make a difference to the local community. We offer a thorough induction and ongoing support and development.

We know the value of having diverse, representative governors and want our governors to reflect our communities. We therefore encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented. This includes people who are:

disabled
Asian, Black, Mixed Ethnicity or another ethnic background
Aged 18 - 30 years

Please contact us if you are interested and would like more information - governance@turnerschools.com

Celebrating OUR GOVERNORS and the value that good governance brings to the Trust

We are so proud of our governors, they give their time and skills freely to play critical roles in our schools’ and trust development. They question, challenge and support our school leaders to be their very best. They share our passion to achieve our Trust vision. We are Team Turner!

Governor Stories

Meet Maja

What inspired you to become a governor?

I worked for 7 years as an occupational therapist at a specialist school. Since leaving that job and relocating, I knew I wanted to stay in touch with education in some capacity but I wasn’t at first sure how!

I saw that the Turner group was looking for a governor with a background in special educational needs which caught my eye.

Did you feel welcomed and well supported?

Everyone at the Trust and on the committee have really welcomed me with open arms. The induction process was straightforward and supporting.

The meetings I’ve attended have been both enjoyable and encouraging.

How does the Trust support governors?

I was excited to be asked to step into the role of lead SEND governor and I was provided with online training, invited to meet with SEND staff and to a network of other lead SEND governors in the trust and SEND staff.

What is the most rewarding part of being a governor?

My passion is children’s mental health and well-being. I believe that children perform to the best of their ability when they’re happy, content and confident within the learning environment. Being involved in the understanding and supporting of children’s health and well-being in the curriculum is important to me.

Thank you Maja!
