Job overview
Keys Co-operative Academy Trust seeks to recruit additional Trustees and Members to its board. These are non-executive roles and therefore we are seeking applications from suitably qualified and experienced individuals who are willing to volunteer their professional skills to benefit our special educational settings.
We think becoming a trustee is a highly rewarding and fulfilling opportunity, but it can also be a fantastic opportunity to learn new things and help with your own personal career development. We can offer you a great insight into what's involved in the management of academies and also help you to develop your skills within a leadership role.
We are particularly looking for trustees / members with the following skills and experience which we feel will complement the skills, knowledge and experience of other members/trustees on our board :
Financial
Legal
Property/premises management
Health and Safety
IT / Data Protection
Public services
For Trustees, the minimum commitment would be to attend our board meetings, which occur formally 4 times per year between 4-6pm, however there is also an expectation that trustees visit / contact schools at least once per term for monitoring visits.
For Members of the Trust, the minimum commitment is attendance at our AGM, which occurs annually in December.
Keys is a small Trust located in Essex, currently comprising two Alternative Provision schools covering North-East and Mid Essex and a Special School in Brentwood. We were established in September 2017 as a Co-operative Academy Trust, which means we adhere to Co-operative values which guide and inform the ethos of all of our schools.

Keys Co-operative Academy Trust is an educational charity formed by a cooperative of schools with a common legal and moral purpose of providing an appropriate, broad and balanced curriculum suitable to the varying needs of our young people. In our schools, this means working together cooperatively to achieve our vision of enabling young people, regardless of their barriers, to achieve their full potential, enjoy positive life chances and make a positive contribution to their community.
Our family of schools consists of two large Alternative Provision schools and a Special School for pupils with moderate learning difficulties. Our mission is for each of our academies to be outstanding providers of education, helping young people to succeed in their lives through learning and personal development.
As a co-operative we support one another by working closely together and sharing our expertise in curriculum, assessment, behaviour and SEND which creates fantastic opportunities for our young people. We are committed to continuing improvement through developing each of our schools as learning communities. We offer structured career pathways for our staff, supported by high-quality professional development so our teachers, leaders and support teams have opportunities to learn together and access bespoke individual programmes.
The support provided by our professional central team, who focus on all aspects of school business matters, enables our teachers and leaders to spend more of their time focused on the one thing that counts the most – the education of children.
