Seeking experience as a non-executive director? Volunteer as a Trustee!

Are you looking to gain experience as a non-executive director? How about volunteering as a Trustee?

At Palladian, we know it takes a community to raise a child – and our children are our future. That’s why trustees devote a fraction of their time each week to understand, guide and support our schools where we can. We’re looking for like-minded people from all walks of life and experience to join us in our purpose to ensure our young people are getting the very best quality care and education.

Within our family of schools in Bath and Wiltshire we are looking for Trustees who can bring diversity to our board and support our sustainability agenda. Our Trust-wide vision of excellent and equitable opportunities so everyone can flourish encapsulates our focus on diversity, inclusivity and equity. Working alongside our talented leaders and staff, we provide the oversight that ensures this is the experience of all the members of our Trust - our pupils, our staff teams and our governors.

Trustees have a privileged role as we advocate for quality education for all our pupils. We ensure those at the coalface, whose vocation is to improve life chances for our children, are supported through difficult decisions as we hold safe the space for reflection and challenge. Holding the executive leaders in this way is a valued role that brings much reward as we see the impact of how our knowledge, experience and time bring dividends for our pupils, we ourselves benefit by learning those skills needed by directors in order to run organisations effectively.
