Job description

We are seeking an experienced finance professional to join our Board of Trustees and provide strategic financial oversight to support the Trust’s long-term success and sustainability.

As a Trustee, you will play a key role in shaping the Trust’s vision, ensuring strong governance, and helping to deliver positive outcomes for our pupils, staff, and communities. Working collaboratively with fellow Trustees and senior leaders, you will contribute to effective decision-making and provide independent scrutiny and challenge where appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

Trustees collectively provide:

  • Strategic Leadership – setting the Trust’s vision, values, culture, and long-term strategy.
  • Accountability and Assurance – overseeing performance, risk management, and organisational effectiveness.
  • Stakeholder Engagement – ensuring meaningful engagement with key stakeholders to support informed decision-making.

As the Finance Specialist Trustee, you will bring professional financial expertise to the Board, supporting robust financial governance, sustainability, and effective stewardship of resources.

What We Are Looking For

We welcome applications from individuals with strong financial knowledge and experience, who can provide strategic insight and independent judgement. Previous board experience is desirable but not essential.

Trustees are responsible for the governance of a charitable company and must ensure that the Trust complies with all relevant legal, regulatory, and statutory requirements. Trustees work closely with the Trust’s governance professionals and, where necessary, seek advice from external professional advisers.

This is an excellent opportunity to use your financial expertise to make a meaningful contribution to education and community outcomes.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Professional experience in finance, accounting, audit, or financial management
  • Ability to analyse complex financial information and communicate key issues clearly to non-finance specialists
  • Understanding of governance, risk management, and assurance frameworks
  • Commitment to the values, vision, and objectives of the Trust

Desirable criteria:

  • Experience working within the public sector, charity, or education finance environment
  • Knowledge of academy trust funding arrangements and financial frameworks
  • A recognised professional finance qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent experience

Shortlisting: TBC

Interviews: TBC

All applicants short listed will be required to take part in a formal interview.

Additional Information:

Hales Valley Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All offers of employment are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check will be completed for all applicants.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020). This means that certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’ and do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.
