NEW SCHOOLS NETWORK

Could you become a trustee at Community Inclusive Trust in Grantham? The board seeks to recruit a variety of skills across three roles.

The Academy Ambassadors programme brings the expertise of the business world onto boards at multi-academy trusts (MATs) throughout the country to raise standards of education and improve the life chances of young people, which is critical to our social and economic success.

The opportunity

Community Inclusive Trust (CIT) was established in September 2014 and consists of a mix of Special schools covering the full age range, and some primary schools, across Lincolnshire. The trust seeks to appoint three new non-executive directors with a range of skills. Board meetings are held in the Grantham area.

The board seeks three senior leaders with board level experience in

As a Key Member Of The Board You Will Support The Trust In Achieving The Following Over The Next 12 - 24 Months

  • To develop further the LEARN professional learning and school improvement arm of the trust;
  • To grow the trust to be the forefront of change, and attract/retain the best leadership and educational talent in schools.

What’s involved?

You Will Be Responsible For

  • Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and
