We are recruiting Directors!
Huish is a group of six educational organisations based in Taunton that spans Early Years, Primary, and Post-16 Education committed to delivering exceptional education for all. We have an enviable reputation in the local area built upon a long history of excellence.
We are inviting expressions of interest from individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds holding different perspectives, lived experiences and/or varied professional roles who share our vision and can help us deliver our ambitions as part of our Board of Directors or as an Associate Director (supporting the work of a committee or committees) for the Richard Huish Trust. The roles of director and associate director are a voluntary activity, sometimes also referred to as a ‘trustee’ role.
We have variety of positions available, but most important is your ability to bring constructive challenge, independent thinking and different perspectives to support strategic decision-making, and to have the ability to commit to the role. We are looking to build an inclusive succession plan over time, actively incorporating people whose backgrounds, experiences and perspectives are currently underrepresented within our governance arrangements. If you would like to be involved in the future, and this of something that might be of interest to you then we would welcome a conversation.
Many of our current directors welcome the opportunity to ‘give something back’ to their local community by being part of the Huish vision that enables young people access an exceptional education. We offer a range of training and ongoing support to help you in your journey as a director/associate director. Normal activities would include reading papers, attending meetings (many are held virtually, some in person), questioning information and contributing to discussions.
Please get in touch with us to discuss further. We welcome interest from people with professional, community, lived or other relevant experience (you do not need previous trustee/director or governor experience or have any knowledge of education) and who want to contribute to the Richard Huish Trust by emailing richardhuishtrust@richuish.ac.uk
