Clerking Career Development – Introducing the Pro Clerking Associates’ Programme
Last week the National Governance Association (NGA) announced the launch of Career Pathway; a new resource highlighting opportunities to work and progress as a governance professional in the schools’ sector.
The pathway, designed as a support mechanism rather than a “must do”, centres around three levels applicable to most governance professional roles:
- Clerking level: Typically, those whose role will be to deliver the board’s clerking requirements
- Governance Co-ordinator level: Typically, those who are a governance officer within a MAT, clerking service manager or regional governance co-ordinator for a group of schools.
- Governance Professional level: Typically, those who are part of the central support team, including line management and strategic and operational development of governance structure
This is exciting news indeed – in terms of both recognition and support – and ties in very nicely with Pro Clerking’s vision and aim to support Clerks explore and create a diverse career.
With this in mind – I’m excited to announce that 2023 will see the launch of our widely anticipated Pro Clerking Associates’ Programme – a 4 fold programme aimed at:
- supporting current or aspiring self-employed Clerks
- supporting Clerks who wish to progress their career
- inviting Clerks to work for / with Pro Clerking – providing that ultimate safety net of support, community and development
- supporting education settings to recruit high-quality Clerks along with a robust induction programme and training
More information coming soon!

All my best
