Trustee (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking two Trustees to join its Board and enhance the oversight, stewardship, and accountability of its multi-academy trust. One Trustee should have a strong finance background, while the other should bring professional expertise in audit and risk. These roles are pivotal in shaping the strategic direction, strengthening governance, and supporting the CEO and senior leaders in delivering excellent education across diverse communities. The Finance Trustee will be responsible for overseeing the trust's financial performance, ensuring the wise and transparent use of public funds, and contributing to long-term financial planning and risk mitigation. The Audit and Risk Trustee will provide rigorous oversight of internal controls, compliance, and risk management, working to safeguard public funds and ensure the trust operates safely and effectively. Candidates for both Trustee positions should be aligned with the Nolan Principles and the trust's Christian ethos, and demonstrate professional expertise, strategic thinking, and a commitment to public service. Strong communication skills, the ability to work collaboratively, and a commitment to keeping children at the center of decision-making are essential. While experience in education is welcome, it is not a mandatory requirement. The time commitment for these roles is approximately 12 meetings per year, with a mix of in-person and online engagements, and may also involve occasional school visits, training sessions, and stakeholder meetings.
