Use these interview questions when appointing a new governor or trustee (for example, a co-opted governor), but remember you can’t run an interview process for staff or parent governors/trustees.
Make sure you’re clear on what you’re looking for
As part of your recruitment process, you should have an idea of the skills you’re hoping a candidate will bring to your board.
Use these ideal skills to help drive your interview questions – but, you don't need everyone on your board to possess every skill, so keep the questions fairly general and adapt them to each candidate’s competencies and experience.
