Community Governor

Community Governor for Wargrave House School

Remarkable Autism Ltd

Volunteer Role

Do you want to support and challenge a non-maintained special school to achieve the very best for its learners?

We are seeking a committed and skilled Community Governor to join the Governing Board at Wargrave House School, a non-maintained special school supporting children and young people with special educational needs.

This is a voluntary role and an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the education and lives of learners and their families.

About Remarkable Group

We are proud to deliver high-quality, innovative services that enable autistic young people and adults to live happy, fulfilled lives. Our work supports autistic individuals throughout their lives, and we continually redefine what’s possible through creative, person-centred and transformative services.

With an ambitious five-year growth plan, this is an exciting time to join Remarkable and contribute to a charity that is expanding its reach, strengthening its impact, and investing in long-term sustainability.

The Role

As a Community Governor, you will be a full and equal member of the Governing Board, contributing to the strategic leadership and accountability of the school.

The role is strategic rather than operational and does not involve day-to-day management of the school. Governors work collectively to set the school’s vision, hold leaders to account, and ensure the school meets its statutory and safeguarding responsibilities.

As a Community Governor, you will:

• Attending Governing Body meetings (typically 4–6 per year) and Committee Meetings (typically 4–6 per year)
• Reading papers and preparing for meetings
• Taking part in training and development
• Supporting and constructively challenging school leaders
• Helping ensure the school continues to provide the best possible education and care for its learners

The time commitment is approximately 6–10 hours per month, and some meetings may take place during the school day.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking an individual who brings integrity, curiosity, and sound judgement, alongside:

• A strong commitment to improving outcomes for autistic young people
• Can think strategically and contribute to high-level discussions, is confident asking questions and offering constructive challenge
• Values equality, inclusion, and safeguarding
• Is willing to undertake training and ongoing development and has an interest in learning and developing within a complex, mission-led organisation
