Trustee/Non-executive Director - SHARE Multi Academy Trust

SHARE Multi Academy Trust is recruiting three new volunteers to the position of trustee - or non-executive director - and Member, a role akin to that of a shareholder.

Ideal candidates will have a qualification in accountancy, experience in finance, audit and/or risk, as well as strategic senior leadership experience. Ideally, this volunteer will assume a role as Chair of the Finance and Audit & Risk Committees. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong leadership and committee management skills, experience in financial oversight and audit/risk management.

The second trustee volunteer will be able to demonstrate experience as a senior leader in Education, preferably in a Multi Academy Trust setting. An in-depth understanding of SEND across different phases would be highly advantageous, while good local knowledge and links would be desirable but not essential for both roles.

For the role of Member, prior experience in a non-executive/trustee position and a firm understanding of corporate or charity governance is essential. The time commitment for this position is generally much lower, with approximately two meetings per year.

For all roles, experience in managing or advising similar-sized organisations (in terms of revenue) and/or a strategic understanding of education is required.

The trust is open to considering remote or virtual participation for the education trustee. The trust is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion, including age diversity, and is willing to offer mentorship from another trustee where applicable and relevant.
