About the Role
Greater Birmingham, United Kingdom Area (Hybrid)
The Company is seeking two Trustees to provide strategic leadership, independent oversight, and constructive challenge: one specializing in finance and the other in business and commercial matters. Trustees will support long-term sustainability, effective governance, risk management, and organizational development, ensuring decisions advance educational outcomes and community impact. The Finance Trustee will contribute to financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, audit, assurance, investment, and resource allocation. The Business and Commercial Trustee will bring insight into areas such as operations, estates, procurement, workforce strategy, technology, and organizational transformation. Candidates should bring senior-level expertise in finance or in business, commercial, operational, or organizational leadership, along with strategic thinking, sound judgment, integrity, and strong interpersonal skills. Finance candidates should be comfortable analyzing financial information, assessing risk, and advising on stewardship and sustainability; business and commercial candidates should understand how effective systems, infrastructure, and people support organizational success. Previous trustee experience is not essential, and candidates from varied professional backgrounds are welcome. Trustees should be prepared to contribute to board and committee work, review materials, participate in governance development, and engage with the organization’s work.
