Trustee Opportunity

We are looking for new Trustees to join our Board in 2023.

Are you committed to improving the educational experience and outcomes of children, and to supporting a team of dedicated staff in their vital role?

As a Trustee, you will get a chance to make a real difference from the roots up, leverage your current skills and expertise for the benefit of the schools within the Trust, participate in important support for your local community, widen your network of contacts and gain high level strategic experience and insight into becoming a non-executive director.

Our Trust currently comprises three very different schools – one in Southend and two in Brentwood. However, its record of successful school improvement has resulted in us being chosen by two primary schools in Brentwood as the Trust that they would like to join. Expansion of our secondary school base is also anticipated in the coming years.

We welcome applications from people from a wide range of backgrounds and experience.  No prior knowledge of education or governance is required - we will provide all relevant training.

For an informal conversation about the role, or to apply, please contact Mrs. Helen Witty, Chair of the Trust Board (hwitty@discoveryeducationaltrust.co.uk). Please send a CV with your application.

More information on the role is available on the Trust website via this link.
