Trustees are responsible for the strategic leadership, oversight and long-term success of Castleford Trust. Working as a board, trustees ensure that the Trust remains true to its charitable purpose, delivers high standards of education, manages resources responsibly and continues to grow sustainably for the benefit of pupils and communities.

The Board of Trustees provides strategic direction and robust challenge to the executive leadership team. Trustees bring a wide range of skills and experience, including education, finance, legal, estates, HR, digital, community and business leadership, and use this expertise to support strong governance and decision-making across the Trust.

We are keen to hear from individuals who share our vision and values, and who are motivated to use their skills, experience and insight to help shape the future of Castleford Trust. Trusteeship is a highly rewarding role, offering the opportunity to influence educational outcomes at scale and contribute to the long-term success of the organisation.

Trustees receive induction, ongoing development and professional support to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities effectively.

If you are interested in becoming a trustee, we would welcome an initial confidential conversation to discuss the role and explore whether trusteeship with Castleford Trust may be right for you. Please contact us via our Contact Us page. 

Castleford Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All trustees are required to undertake appropriate suitability and safeguarding checks.
