This opportunity will allow you to further develop your professional skills and experience such as strategic thought and planning, data analysis, building relationships and networks, financial review and planning, and chairing of meetings. These are all vital skills which are valued by employers and can assist in your own career development.
The full Board of Trustees meets 4 times a year with meetings generally taking place face to face in the late afternoon/early evening. Sub-committees (Quality, Finance & HR and Audit & Risk) meet 3 times a year. You will also have the opportunity to become involved and contribute to a specialist area e.g. curriculum, finance, data, HR, health and safety dependent upon your skills. Trustees are provided with an induction and training program appropriate for their skills and experience.
