Join Us as a South West Regional Assurance Board (RAB) Governor: Transform Lives and Shape Futures!

Are you ready for a fulfilling role that combines challenge, impact, and effective oversight? As an RAB governor, you'll play a pivotal part in ensuring strong governance within your local schools.

As a governor you will:

1. Make a Real Difference: Your insights and experiences matter. Use your unique perspective to inform crucial conversations about effective governance of our schools.
2. Board-Level Skills Development: Step into a board-level environment where you'll hone your leadership, decision-making, and strategic thinking skills. It's a chance to grow both personally and professionally.
3. Community Contribution: Give back to your local community by actively participating in the school's development. Your commitment will directly impact pupils, staff, and families.
4. Support and Challenge: Be the voice that drives positive change. Support the school's growth while constructively challenging it to improve. Your input matters!
5. Diverse Perspectives: We value diversity. Bring your unique experiences and insights to decision-making, ensuring a well-rounded approach that benefits everyone.

Governing Boards are skills-based and cover a wide variety of areas. Whilst experience in education is not necessary, as you will have the opportunity to learn and develop your knowledge, the most important attributes we are looking for are dedication, availability, openness to learning, and a belief in our vision to transform the life chances of young people attending our schools.

Other Reasons to Consider Being a Governor:

• Rewarding Experience: Few roles offer such a sense of fulfilment. Witness the impact of your contributions firsthand.
• Professional Growth: Develop skills beyond the classroom. Network with like-minded professionals and broaden your horizons.
