Scholars' Education Trust - Trust Board opportunity
Posted on 14/04/2021Are you interested in making a contribution to the education of over 4,000 young people across the Scholars’ Education Trust? We are looking to recruit a talented individual to join our trust board and contribute to the strategic leadership of our organisation.
The Scholars’ Education Trust (SET) is a multi-phase trust, formed in 2012, currently consisting of Sir John Lawes School, Samuel Ryder Academy, Robert Barclay Academy, Harpenden Academy and Priory Academy. The Trust prides itself on its collaborative approach to improving school performance, with each school within the Trust being encouraged to contribute fully to our shared development. At the heart of everything we do is the desire to enable the children in our schools to achieve more than they might ever have believed possible.
The shared values of the academy trust are summed up in the ACE: Achievement, Care and Excellence. The ACE underpins everything that each academy does and provides a secure basis for all we strive to accomplish:
- Achievement in academic, artistic, sporting, cultural and other areas with a focus on teaching and learning
- Care for students, staff and others beyond the academy trust community
- Excellent standards, manners, honesty, personal integrity and uniform.
We are seeking a finance specialist, with experience at CFO level, ideally a qualified accountant, who will lead our oversight of strategic financial planning, Trust Budgets, Three-Year Plans, Management Accounts, Financial Accounts and our Internal Controls.
The board holds 6 formal meetings a year, currently on Zoom but usually rotating between our schools. If you think this is a role that might interest you and would like to find out more then please contact the Chair of our Trust, Martin Sidders, on M.Sidders@governors.scholarseducationtrust.co.uk
We look forward to hearing from you!
