Trustee opportunity: Northumberland Church of England Academy Trust

An opportunity to join the Board of the Northumberland Church of England Academy Trust and make a real difference to the children at our schools

Looking to bring your executive finance experience to a role with real local purpose? 

We are seeking a senior finance leader to join our Board as a Trustee and member of our Finance, Operations and Risk Committee. NCEA Trust supports over 2,500 pupils and over 500 staff across 9 schools in Northumberland, delivering inclusive, high quality education in vibrant and diverse communities. 

Why volunteer as a Trustee with us? 

✔️ High-Impact: direct top-tier financial strategy, risk management and capital governance. 

✔️ Purpose-Driven Governance: ensure every pound spent directly supports pupil outcomes and educational equity. 

✔️ Portfolio Development: a fantastic opportunity for CFOs, Finance Directors or experienced accounting partners looking for meaningful non-executive governance experience. 

Your commitment? 

12 morning meetings annually. This is a voluntary role with expenses covered. 

Whether your background is in the public, corporate or third sector - if you have a passion for education and valuable expertise - we would love to hear from you. We are also open to hearing from people with experience in other fields.
