School governors needed in East Yorkshire

School Governors' One-Stop Shop (SGOSS) is a Company and Registered Charity which aims to encourage people to volunteer as governors in schools. They are running a campaign in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire where there is a large number of school governor vacancies.

SGOSS is working closely with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the Federation of Small Businesses in a bid to recruit and place people with transferable skills. Running a school is very similar to running a small business or service. Schools are expected to take responsibility for their own finances, policy development and the appointment of senior staff members. 

To become a school governor, you do not need to be parent or involved in education. Fundaementally, you need to be willing to invest your time (approximately 6-8 hours per month) and give your skills to ensure that children get the highest possible standard of education and the best start in life.

Those applying to become school governors can gain access to training, networking opportunities and also the chance to build upon existing skills. As the school gains - so do you!

Anyone interested can get in touch by ringing 020 7354 9805 or e-mail info@sgoss.org.uk
