School Governorship: is it worth it?

Laura Hood

Hi all

I have recently seen a few adverts for the opportunity to be a governor of a number of local schools. They often want someone with HR experience. 

I know that this would be tough - they say it would be around a day a month but I am sure it would be much more. However, I would like a place on our Company's board and felt that this would potentially give me a (safer) stomping ground and an opportunity to work strategically, whilst offering my skills which I'm sure would be rewarding.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

  • Hi Laura, I have been a governor in a school for many years and would state unequivocally that it has been an excellent arena for implementation of HR skills and competencies. Many schools now require executive/business-like assistance to run their organisations and to develop effective strategic planning. From my own experience I would recommend school governorship for any HR professional.
