We are looking to appoint up to four new trustees.  Ideal candidates will strongly align with the Trust’s values and ethos.  All trustees should have a clear interest in, and passion to support, education though it is understood they may not have worked in the education sector before, nor have pre-existing knowledge or experience. If they have, this would be advantageous rather than essential.

We are ideally seeking candidates with skills in these areas:

Human Resources – the trust is implementing a new HRIS in 2024 and would welcome the insight, challenge and guidance from an experienced professional in HR. Embedding our wellbeing strategy is also a key focus;

Legal – this is a core competence in all of the Board’s activity, and the Trust would welcome additional experience in this area

Strategic Leadership – to help guide the trust in its next phase of growth;

Communications - to help in the promotion of the trust’s ethos, attracting pupils and staff, and maintaining transparency with stakeholders

Digital Transformation - guidance from an experienced professional to support the trust’s integration of technology to enhance learning and operational efficiency.

STEM/Arts - to ensure a balanced curriculum, addressing the importance of innovation and creativity in developing well-rounded students prepared for future challenges

Lived Experience - trustees with lived experience bring a unique and valuable perspective, fostering inclusivity, understanding the diverse challenges faced by students and staff, and enriching decision-making processes with real-world insights

People from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Trust boards should represent the communities they serve, as well as wider society. We welcome interest from underrepresented groups to ensure academy trust boards are diverse in background, skillset, and thought.
