Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
The Collective Community Trust is a relatively new Trust, forming in April 2024 with 6 community schools within Bury LA. We have since then had another school join us, in March 2025. We are an innovative and forward-looking Trust, who very much believes in celebrating uniqueness and individuality. We are proud of the fact that our schools are all different and are able to flourish within their own unique context. Our Trust is committed to providing life-long learning opportunities for our school communities within an inclusive, nurturing environment.
As we continue to grow and strengthen our impact, we are seeking to appoint a new Trustee to join our Board and help guide the strategic direction of the Trust.

• Contribute to key decisions on growth, governance, and school improvement.
Trustees play a vital role in shaping the lives of young people—bringing professional expertise, independent challenge, and a commitment to improving outcomes for all learners.
