Join Our Trust Board as a Foundation Director – Use Your Skills to Support Catholic Education
Bury, Greater Manchester | Voluntary Role
St Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Academy Trust is a growing Catholic Multi-Academy Trust of 20 schools, with significant further growth planned. We are at a key inflection point — an exciting time to get involved and help shape the strategic direction of a Trust that will impact the futures of thousands of children for years to come.
This is a high-impact, strategic governance role at Board level. As a Foundation Director, you will help guide a Trust that employs over 1,500 staff, serves thousands of pupils, and is preparing to welcome additional schools into its family. Your expertise will directly influence the quality of education, leadership, and Catholic mission across a growing and ambitious Trust.
We are particularly keen to hear from practising Catholics with professional experience in:
* Financial planning, accountancy, or audit
* Risk management and compliance
* Strategic development and organisational growth
* Senior leadership in education, the public, private or voluntary sectors
Suggested Qualifications / Experience:
While not essential, the following would be beneficial:
* A recognised accounting qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA)
* Risk management or governance certification (e.g. IRM, ICSA)
* A qualification in business, public administration, or law
* Experience on a board or governing body
* Strong understanding of governance, oversight, and strategic leadership
This is a voluntary but high-responsibility role. The expected commitment includes:
* 5 in-person Board meetings per year
* 4–5 Committee meetings (virtual attendance possible)
* An annual Strategy Day (in person)
* Participation in Trust panels (e.g. recruitment, exclusions, complaints)
* Preparation and reading ahead of meetings
* School visits across our Trust to remain connected to our work on the ground
Please note: This is not a remote role. Directors are expected to attend most meetings in person and take an active role in the life and mission of the Trust.
As a Foundation Director, you’ll have the opportunity to:
* Make a lasting contribution to the lives of children and young people
* Strengthen your leadership, governance, and strategic skills
* Grow professionally and spiritually through meaningful service
* Build a powerful network of Catholic and professional peers
* Help shape a Trust that is expanding and evolving rapidly
If you’re passionate about Catholic education and want to bring your expertise to a high-impact, values-driven organisation, we would love to hear from you.
