Join Us as a Health & Safety Trustee:
Protect People, Shape Culture, Transform Life Chances!
Are you passionate about creating safe, supportive environments where young people can learn and thrive? Do you have the expertise to guide a Trust in maintaining high standards of safety, compliance, and wellbeing? As a Health & Safety Trustee, you’ll play a crucial strategic role in ensuring that every school within our Trust is a secure place for pupils and staff to flourish.
This role is your opportunity to make a Trust-wide impact, shaping the systems, cultures, and decisions that keep our communities safe every single day.
As a Health & Safety Trustee, you will:
Champion a Culture of Safety: Use your experience to influence the Trust’s policies, practices, and strategic decisions, ensuring health and safety remains a priority across all schools.
Strengthen Compliance & Assurance: Provide oversight of statutory responsibilities, risk management, safeguarding practices, and site safety, helping the Trust stay compliant and confident.
Support and Constructively Challenge: Offer professional insight to senior leaders, helping them make informed decisions and embedding best practice across the Trust.
Promote Wellbeing for All: Contribute to discussions around staff and pupil wellbeing, mental health considerations, and inclusive practices that support safe access to education for every learner.
Collaborate at Board Level: Work with fellow Trustees to ensure that safety considerations underpin wider strategic planning, resource allocation, and operational effectiveness.
What We’re Looking For:
You may come from backgrounds such as health & safety management, compliance, estates, facilities management, risk, emergency planning, or safeguarding and boast strong experience in these fields. Experience in education is a bonus, but absolutely not essential.
What matters most is your:
• Commitment to ensuring safe, supportive school environments for young people
• Experience in health & safety, risk, or compliance
• Ability to analyse information and communicate it clearly to non-specialists
• Willingness to dedicate time for Board meetings, preparation, and occasional school visits
Why Become a Health & Safety Trustee?
Meaningful, Purpose-Driven Impact: Play a key role in shaping safe learning environments across multiple schools, positively affecting the lives of pupils, staff, and families.
Opportunities for Growth: Develop your governance and strategic leadership skills while working alongside experienced Trustees and leaders.
Make a Difference Beyond Compliance: Help foster a culture of safety, wellbeing, and continuous improvement, where people feel supported, valued, and able to thrive.
If you’re ready to use your expertise to help create safe, thriving school communities and make a meaningful difference across our Trust, we’d love to hear from you. Step into a role where your insight protects people - and helps shape brighter futures.
