Apply to Become a Trustee/Board Member
We’re seeking trustees with legal, financial and educational expertise to join our board from mid-2026.
We’re looking for a trustee with experience in the legal sector. This might include experience in charity, company, employment or contract law, or any other relevant regulatory frameworks. We are seeking someone who can support the Board of Trustees in maintaining strong governance and sound-decision making, and ensure the organisation continues to meet our legal and regulatory responsibilities. Ideally, we would also be able to call on your expertise – or that of your firm – if specific legal issues arise.
We are also looking for a trustee with financial expertise. We are particularly interested in finding someone who can provide strong financial oversight, helping us to ensure robust financial controls, clear and accurate reporting and effective financial planning across the organisation. You may have senior-level experience in finance, accounting, auditing or financial management – and if so, we’d like to hear from you. If you have pre-existing experience in charity accounting, even better!
Finally, we are really keen to have representation on our board from a teacher and/or senior leader in a school in Tower Hamlets, or a neighbouring borough. This trustee will act as our Designated Board Safeguarding Lead and help ensure our safeguarding policies and processes remain robust and proactive. Working with children and young people is key to our current and future plans, so having a trustee with this background, from our area of London, is important to us.
If this isn’t you, but your interest has been piqued, drop us a line anyway. We’re always interested to meet new people, and it could be that your set of skills and experiences are perfect for us, and we just haven’t realised. We’re big on learning, so tell us what you can bring.
We are accepting applications until Monday 1st June
