Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats
Utilise your educational leadership to help close the attainment gap. Join the board of Tutor Trust, a proudly northern charity transforming young lives through tutoring across the North.
Closing date: Monday 23rd February
Who we are
For 15 years, Tutor Trust has been changing lives through high-quality tutoring, building long-term partnerships with schools across the North. We’re driven by a vision of an education system that provides excellence, equity and opportunity to every child and young person in the UK. Last year, we supported over 6,000 pupils across 149 schools, with 92% either entitled to Pupil Premium funding or attending schools in low-income areas. Our impact is proven: primary pupils made 7.07 scaled score points progress in their SATs, while secondary pupils made 0.86 grades progress at GCSE level.
We recruit talented university students, many from the communities we serve, who act as relatable role models while delivering evidence-based tutoring. Our approach works: Education Endowment Foundation trials showed our pupils made three months’ additional progress in maths, with even greater gains for those eligible for Free School Meals.
Following the end of the National Tutoring Programme, we’re continuing to successfully navigate challenges while maintaining our school partnerships and impact. We’ve diversified our programme, expanding into phonics, post-16 GCSE resits, and growing our specialist Tutoring Plus work for pupils with complex needs by 135%. We’re now implementing an ambitious strategy to 2028 that will see us broaden our reach, expand into new regions, and advocate for tutoring to become a permanent part of the education system, ensuring that every young person, regardless of where they grow up, has access to the support they need to thrive.
About the role
We’re looking for two trustees who will join our board of Trustees and sit on our Education Committee, bringing the voice of secondary school leadership to our board. This is a chance to contribute to something genuinely transformative during a period of both challenge and opportunity for education, working towards a future where excellence and equity go hand in hand across the North and beyond.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for people with secondary school leadership experience, such as headteachers, executive heads, or senior leaders in multi-academy trusts, who understand the pressures schools face and the realities of serving disadvantaged communities. You’ll bring an understanding of boards and governance, demonstrating strategic thinking and appropriate challenge, alongside a genuine passion for closing the attainment gap and creating opportunity for all young people to succeed.
We’re particularly keen to hear from leaders across Liverpool, Merseyside, Leeds, Yorkshire, and the North East. We are interested in people with experience of school improvement, Ofsted, or broader curriculum expertise alongside secondary leadership.
While our primary focus is on educational leadership, we’re also interested in hearing from people with expertise in digital, fundraising, PR and marketing; skills that will be valuable as we implement our ambitious growth strategy and build our vision of an education system rooted in excellence and equity.
Time commitment
Board meetings are held six times a year, typically at 8:00 a.m. for two hours, with most meetings conducted online and some held in person in Manchester. As members of the Education Committee, you’ll also attend termly committee meetings online, along with an annual half-day strategy session held in person. The overall time commitment is equivalent to up to a day per month.
Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, achieve, and build the future they envision. At Tutor Trust, we believe that high-quality tutoring is more than just academic support, it’s about unlocking potential, restoring confidence, and opening doors to opportunity.
If you share our belief that education should provide excellence and equity for every child, we invite you to join us. Whether you’re leading a school or MAT today or are a senior education professional, your experience and passion can help shape the future of thousands of young people.
