As the Trust looks towards the next 12 months of growth, it seeks two new Trustees: one to chair the Finance Committee, and one to chair the Audit and Risk Committee.
Chair of Finance Committee: The successful candidate will bring strong, strategic-level experience in financial management. They will be a qualified accountant, and will likely hold (or have held) a financial leadership position in a mid-large size organisation as a CFO, Finance Director or COO. This candidate could have gained their experience in a number of different sectors, but the Trust are particularly interested in hearing from applicants who have worked in the public sector, the education sector, and the commercial sector.
Chair of Audit Committee: The successful candidates will bring strong financial acumen and have worked in a senior level finance role or within an Audit Practice or Audit Firm. This candidate could have gained their experience in a number of different sectors, but the Trust is particularly interested in hearing from those who have worked within the finance function of a successful organisation, or have worked in a professional services environment.
The Trust is open to applications from candidates with a range of general and financial leadership positions, so long as they come from an accounting or audit and risk background, and are financially qualified. Prior board experience is not a requirement for the role, but would be beneficial. Above all, candidates will be passionate about education and making a difference to children's lives in Wirral.
