@MINDSETCharity

ATSF is looking to recruit two new members to its board of trustees - one with educational experience and the second a more general trustee- to help shape its future and support education in Greater London.

Organisation background

The Foundation is an unincorporated registered charity that is currently going through a period of transition. It has existed in different forms for more than three centuries. The Foundation was established to teach practical and academic skills to equip “poor boys for trades or university”.  Until recently it fulfilled its educational charitable objective by providing land, buildings and grants to a school in Oval. Following the closure and sale of that school in 2023, the Trustees are entering an exciting new phase in the Foundation’s story.  They are reviewing how to deliver the best educational outcomes for young people in the area of benefit, Greater London, and are looking to work with local schools, partners and stakeholders to achieve this.

Required skills and experience

Educational Trustee –  an applicant should have an understanding of local educational needs -either in the area of benefit or within specific areas of Greater London. They should have experience of working with stakeholders involved in education and a willingness to liaise with those stakeholders, potential grantee schools and other partners. The Trustees want to provide support where it will be most effective and a background in educational funding would be an advantage as would a willingness to develop a collaborative relationship with new grantee schools.

General Trustee
A successful applicant will play an important role in overseeing our activities and in ensuring we continue to pursue our objectives effectively and responsibly. Ideally an applicant should have experience with grant making or other charitable organisations and with helping formulate important strategic decisions to provide long term educational benefit.

For both roles we welcome interest from individuals with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

Role requirements

Trustees are appointed for an initial term of four years.  They are expected to attend trustee meetings which are currently held every two to three months, sometimes online and sometimes in person in London - most commonly online at 4pm.

Trustees are also expected to contribute to the occasional email request or discussion.

The role is unpaid and voluntary.

To apply  

Please email your CV and a short covering letter explaining why you would be interested in being a trustee of ATSF to  by Friday 21st November.  

If you would like further information about ATSF or the roles advertised, please use the same contact details.
