Trustee – Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

Learning Academy Partnership

Location: Flexible

Closing date: Friday 19^th July 2024 at 9:00am

Are you passionate about Diversity, Equality and Inclusion? Would you like to use your experience to contribute to the strategic direction of an exciting organisation, responsible for the education of over 1500 children in the South West?
Learning Academy Partnershipis seeking to appoint a new Trustee with a strong knowledge and understanding of best practice across the areas of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.

Learning Academy Partnership SW (LAPSW) is a multi-academy trust founded in 2012. It currently has seventeen primary academies, including both faith and community academies. Our schools reflect the communities they serve and work together in five Hubs which are in Cornwall, South Devon, South Hams, Torquay and West Devon.

Our Trust is committed to social mobility and a culture of belonging. We invest in people to ensure every child is taught by the very best teachers so that we can achieve social change and all children flourish. We believe:

• We are stronger together – we deliver and achieve more than we could ever do individually. In a sense of belonging – every member of our School Trust matters and knows that they belong. In removing barriers – ensuring that where you begin does not limit your horizons. In realising the possible – you cannot be what you cannot see. 

As a Trustee you will work as part of the Board, in partnership with the CEO, to set the strategic direction of the Trust. You will use your expertise in the field of DEI to ensure the executive team develop and implement policies, systems and procedures that benefit all stakeholders.

As an inclusive Trust that has both community and church schools, we would ask that Trustees are supportive of the Christian ethos of our Church schools but having a faith is not a requirement of the role.

If you have the requisite experience for the role, and share our passion and commitment in helping every child, regardless of background or ability, to realise their potential, we’d love to hear from you.

To find out more and register your interest for the role, please contact Dave Lancaster at admin@satiseducation.co.uk   

The closing date for application is Friday 19^th July 2024 at 9:00am. However, the Trust reserves the right to close early and therefore encourages early applications.

Learning Academy Partnership is committed to the safeguarding of children and young people. An enhanced disclosure from the DBS will be required for all roles. All candidates will also be subject to an online search for information about you as part of our due diligence and commitment to safeguarding.
