Founded in 1963, we operate as an independent charity with a vision to make a real difference to people’s lives by improving the quality of mathematics education and learning.

We have always had a well-established and well-respected board, and in the last twelve months we have recruited several new board members to support MEI’s continued development through their wisdom, passion, and expertise. We are a friendly, supportive, and very committed team. MEI’s head office is in Trowbridge, in beautiful Wiltshire. Our team of mathematics education experts works from home, spread across England. Our dedicated staff of around 70 employees and our 10 board members make effective use of online technology to collaborate – never more so than this year.

MEI’s origins were in working to ensure mathematics education was relevant to equipping people to use mathematics effectively in their everyday lives and work. Much has changed in society since MEI was founded and mathematics education has never been more important. Our commitment to make a positive difference to people’s lives through mathematics education and learning remains as strong as ever.

Our links with students have generally been through their teachers, but the rapid changes in society and the way that people engage with knowledge and learning mean that we need to deepen our understanding of the needs and perspectives of students. The young trustee role is a new role on the MEI board that will help us to do this. It is only one part of a number of activities with this aim. We would expect the young trustee to help support these developments.

The Board of Trustees is looking forward to having a young trustee within our team, and benefiting from the contributions and experience of the successful candidate. This will not be a ‘token’ position. The successful candidate will have the same influence, responsibilities, and liabilities as any other trustee. In turn, we commit to provide the support, training and development that you, and indeed all new trustees, need to undertake this role. As our pioneer young trustee, you will be able to help us shape the role and the way we work so that we harness your experience and wisdom at a critical stage as we drive forward our developing ambitions for the future.

If you think you have what it takes to bring a new perspective, and you are passionate about the development of the next generation, we would love to have you on board

Founded in 1963, we operate as an independent charity with a vision to make a real difference to people’s lives by improving the quality of mathematics education and learning.

We are passionate about mathematics and mathematics education, and the users of our services are at the centre of what we do. We offer professional development for teachers and innovative resources for teachers and students, and are recognised national experts in mathematics curriculum development. We find our work hugely rewarding and stimulating, and our innovative and collaborative work with a range of partners, including government, enables us to deliver flagship mathematics education development programmes for teachers, as well as informing national policy. We run some government contracts, in partnership with others, where we believe they are consistent with our charitable objects. We also promote innovation through ground-breaking development work and awareness raising.

We work at the forefront of innovation in education. To maintain and build on this innovation and leadership we hope to work with a wider range of donors who share our aspirations for improved maths education for everyone. The fundraising trustee is a new role to help us steer this new ambition.

If you have the experience to support us, and you are passionate about the development of the next generation, we would love to have you on board!
