This is an opportunity to join a values-driven organisation dedicated to improving outcomes for vulnerable learners and making a lasting social impact.
Responsibilities As a trustee/director your key responsibilities are to ensure clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction; to hold executive leaders to account – both for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and for the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and to oversee the organisation's financial performance to ensure its funds are directed to the best possible educational outcomes for young people.
By volunteering as a trustee/director you will be responsible for contributing to the strategic decision‑making of the board, helping the trust to realise immediate and long‑term goals, and ultimately ensuring transparency, accountability, and challenge.
Benefits Volunteering on an academy trust board is a meaningful way to shape young people's futures and strengthen education in your community.
Trustees play a vital role in setting strategic direction and holding executive leaders to account – ensuring schools deliver the best outcomes.
