Assistant Clerk to the Trustees

Job details

Contract hours: 14
Basis: Part time
Salary: £9,900 per annum
Location: Uppingham School
Closing date: 13 February 2026, 11:59 pm

Description

This newly created, part-time role supporting the governance of Uppingham School, is well suited to someone who enjoys applying senior-level governance or board experience in a focused, thoughtful way. Working closely with the Bursar and Clerk to the Trustees, you will become a trusted part of the governance function, supporting the School’s Trustees in carrying out their responsibilities with clarity and confidence.

Your work will centre on preparing and supporting Trustee and Committee meetings, handling agendas and papers with care, and producing clear, accurate minutes that form the formal record of decisions and discussion. The quality of this work matters. It is relied upon by Trustees and senior leaders and plays a meaningful role in the long-term stewardship of the School.

Although the role is part-time and term-time only, it carries senior responsibility and a high level of professional trust. You will work within a small, collegiate governance team where expectations are clear, meetings are planned well in advance, and your judgement and experience are respected. The role offers autonomy, balance and purpose, alongside the satisfaction of contributing quietly but significantly to the life and leadership of Uppingham School.

About you

You will have experience supporting boards, trustees or senior committees and will be comfortable working with discretion, sound judgement and accuracy. Good governance matters, as does producing clear, well-judged minutes that capture decisions and key discussion.

The role may suit someone seeking term-time or reduced-hours work after a full-time career, returning to work after a break, or combining this post with other professional commitments. An appreciation of education, professionalism and Uppingham School’s values will matter as much as technical experience.

Working hours

The role is estimated to require two days per week on average during term-time (32 weeks per year), amounting to approximately fourteen hours per week, or approximately 448 hours per year.

These hours are inclusive of Saturday morning Trustee meetings. No work is required during School holidays.

Closing date: 13 February 2026

Please note that we reserve the right to close this vacancy early once we have received an adequate number of applications.

Starting Salary: £22,990 per year

Location: Barnoldswick

Duration: 4 years

At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

By joining Rolls-Royce in an Emerging Talent programme, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.

Position summary:

Our Manufacturing Engineers develop some of the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world, bringing to life the incredible products we design across the company and driving safety, quality and cost in our facilities and supply chains. Join them as an apprentice and you’ll be turning our designs into reality, learning from world-class experts, as well as customers, suppliers and operations specialists.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll spend your first year completing foundation training at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), getting a broad understanding of manufacturing engineering principles. You’ll have the option to live in University of Sheffield halls of residence, paid for by us.

From your second year, you’ll embark on a series of six-month placements on site at Rolls-Royce, at the site you have been recruited to. You may be required to complete placements outside of your recruiting site to complete all the scheme requirements. Where this is the case, your travel and expenses will be covered.

Alongside job-specific training courses you’ll get to study for a BEng Manufacturing Technology degree at Sheffield University via the AMRC training centre, learning through a mix of block, remote and day release.

During year 2, you will complete a 10-week training course, in person, at either our Derby or Bristol sites. Travel expenses will be paid if the site you complete this on is not your home site.

Across your apprenticeship you’ll gain practical knowledge in areas such as developing new technology, introducing new products and continuously improving existing manufacturing processes and controlling change, implementing digital manufacturing solutions and interfacing with suppliers. Alongside this, you’ll learn how to manage projects and costs, how to design and validate manufacturing processes, how to solve engineering problems, and how to implement quality assurance methods.

Who we’re looking for:

• Five GCSEs which must include a minimum of Maths at grade 6/B, English Language at grade 4/C and Science (triple, double or single award excluding single Biology) at grade 4/C plus 2 others at grade 4/C.
• 112 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:
  • 3 A-Levels to include Maths at a grade B minimum and either Physics, Biology, Chemistry or Engineering at a grade B minimum
  • A BTEC in an Engineering discipline which must include either a distinction in Further Maths or have a Maths A-Level in addition to the BTEC at a minimum grade C. Accepted BTECs - Aeronautical Engineering; Applied Science; Construction and the Built Environment; Electrical/Electronic Engineering; Engineering; Land-based Technology; Manufacturing Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; or Operations and Maintenance Engineering

If you have equivalent qualifications, please contact us.

Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. Creativity and an agile approach are both important, as are problem solving skills and collaborative team working.

Above all, you'll need to be passionate about manufacturing, as well as analytical, highly motivated, and most importantly, endlessly curious about how things are made and how processes work.

Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We’ll expect that of you, too.

What you’ll get:

• A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises
• BEng Manufacturing Technology degree
• 33 days’ holiday per year (including bank holidays)
