Job overview
Audit Committee Member (non-remunerated position)
River Learning Trust, Oxford. www.riverlearningtrust.org
Do you have audit and/or financial experience and would like to contribute to the work of the Trust on a voluntary basis? The Trust Board is looking for a third member for its Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee is external to the Board and provides assurances to it that risks are being adequately identified and managed. It does this by reviewing the risks to internal financial control at the Trust and agreeing a programme of work to address and provide assurance on those risks. The outcome of the work informs the governance statement that accompanies the Trust’s annual accounts and, so far as is possible, provides assurance to the external auditors.
The post requires attendance at three daytime meetings a year and is a non-remunerated position.
If you are interested in this position please send your CV and covering letter to office@riverlearningtrust.org or email Louise Askew, Head of Governance and Compliance, at laskew@riverlearningtrust.org to arrange a chat. Please contact us by 31st May 2018 to be considered for this voluntary position.
The River Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and preventing extremism. All staff are expected to share this commitment. The River Learning Trust is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from a range of backgrounds to represent diversity in line with our schools’ community.

The River Learning Trust is a successful and growing Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) based in Oxfordshire.
This is an exciting time for the Trust. We are currently responsible for a number of secondary schools, primary schools, and a SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training) provider; we have a secondary Free School in pre-opening and are in discussions with a number of other secondary and primary schools as the Trust is preparing for further growth in the coming years.
Our Vision
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At the River Learning Trust we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. All of the schools in the River Learning Trust are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to a series of three principles:
- Commitment to Excellence
- Everyone Learning
- Respectful Relationships
Within our vision:
- Each school has its own unique character and ethos, reflecting local communities and their needs and priorities
- The Trust establishes collective and collaborative autonomy where the drive for excellence comes from within the schools, to the benefit of all schools in the Trust
- The relationships within the Trust ensure genuine and impactful joint accountability – the outcomes for all of the pupils in all of the schools matter to everyone
- Schools continue to take responsibility for their own performance and character within a Trust context which provides both support and challenge
