Trustee at Greenfields Specialist School for Communication

GSSC is a Secondary Special School for young people who may have a diagnosis of Severe Learning Difficulty, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulty and/or a Complex Medical Diagnosis and/or a Sensory, or Physical Disability.  All young people who attend GSSC have an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan).

This is a unique opportunity for individuals with experience of HR, Accountancy, Audit Assurance Experience, Finance, Strategic insight, Curriculum, IT, Estates, Data Analysis, to make a tangible difference to the lives of young people and families across our communities, whilst broadening their own experience.

Trustees play a strategic, non-executive role. Working collectively as a Board, they help shape the Trust's vision and strategy, provide support and constructive challenge to Senior Leaders, scrutinise performance and ensure that the Trust continues to deliver the highest possible outcomes for young people.

The role is voluntary and offers an opportunity to contribute to an important phase in the Trust's development. Previous governance experience is welcome but not essential; we are keen to hear from individuals who can bring fresh perspectives, strategic thinking and relevant professional expertise.

In the first instance, please contact our Chair of Trustees, Steve Jackson sjackson@gssc.org.uk for an informal conversation. This will provide an opportunity to explore the role, discuss your interests and consider how your experience could support the Trust.

We would be delighted to hear from you if you believe your expertise, insight and perspective could strengthen our Board and help shape the future of our school.

Closing date for applications is 31st August 2026
