Please note that those who are clinically extremely vulnerable (also known as shielding) are unable to volunteer for the British Red Cross unless in a role they can do from home.

The Propeller Academy Trust

Member role

Could you help to improve education in Oxfordshire by volunteering to become a member at a multi-academy trust? 

Members provide independent oversight to the work of the board of trustees to ensure suitable accountability for decision making and strategy. As multi-academy trusts (MATs) grow and develop, they face significant challenges. This role enables professionals to use skills and experience gained throughout their career to help trusts across England and improve the life chances of young people. All roles are pro bono.

The trust

The Propeller Academy Trust is a two-school trust focusing on special education in Oxfordshire. The trust focuses on providing an innovative and developmental academic curriculum which gives students with special educational needs a strong foundation for long-term community cohesion. The trust is the enabler for creating opportunities, working with Headteachers, to deliver to the needs of our students.

Person specification

The board seeks members with previous experience in

• Legal
• Corporate Governance, or
• Non-executive/ Trustee roles

Applicants should have an extensive and demonstrable background in senior leadership roles, with strategic vision and knowledge of the non-executive director role. Candidates are expected to demonstrate the seven principles of public life set out by Lord Nolan.

What’s involved?

Members have a similar role to the shareholders in a company limited by shares. They are key players in overseeing the work of the trust and are generally deemed ‘eyes on but hands-off’.

Most notably, members:

• are the subscribers to the memorandum of association (where they are founding members)
• amend the articles of association;
• appoint new members or remove existing members
• appoint or remove trustees;
• appoint the trust’s auditors and receive the trust’s annual audited accounts; and, ultimately,
• have power to change the company name and dissolve the academy trust if required.

Members are usually asked to attend a minimum of ONE but possibly up to THREE meetings a year to gain an understanding of the trust’s work and the board’s oversight. This translates to a commitment of around two hours per month. The meetings would include the annual general meeting.

Further information on the member role at a multi-academy trust is available here.

Successful candidates will join a network of Ambassadors: experienced business leaders and professionals who have been appointed to board roles through the Academy Ambassadors Programme. All Ambassadors gain access to resources, guidance, networking events, our annual flagship conference, as well as webinars.

What next?

We strongly recommend applying as early as you can to have the best possible chance of being considered as we may change the closing date if we have received sufficient applications.
