Job description

Five annual meetings per year (Approximately one hour per month)

Alpha Academies Trust is seeking a finance-skilled Trustee to strengthen our board and help secure long-term sustainability, robust governance and excellent educational outcomes for the 4,000 children we serve across Stoke-on-Trent.

Who we are

We serve around 4,000 pupils and employ 500 staff, working in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the country. Our commitment to excellence, evidence-informed practice and community engagement sits at the heart of everything we do.

About the role

We are seeking a finance-focused Trustee who will play a pivotal role in supporting the Trust’s strategy, sustainability and long-term planning.

As a Finance Trustee, you will:

  • Support oversight of the Trust’s financial strategy, reserves, risk and long-term sustainability.
  • Provide scrutiny and constructive challenge to ensure robust financial governance.
  • Work closely with fellow Trustees to oversee growth, investment and capital planning.
  • Help ensure resources are deployed effectively to maximise educational impact.
  • Contribute to the Audit & Risk and/or Finance Committee, depending on experience.

Who we’re looking for

We are seeking an experienced strategic leader with strong financial expertise who can add immediate value to board discussions and oversight.

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Senior financial leadership experience (e.g. CFO/FD, Audit Partner, or equivalent).
  • Understanding of financial strategy, sustainability, risk and audit.
  • Ability to interpret complex financial information and advise non-finance colleagues.
  • Experience of working within, or advising, regulated or multi-site organisations.
  • Commitment to community impact and improving life chances for young people.
  • Experience within education or the public sector is welcomed but not essential.

We are an inclusive Trust and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

Please click 'Redirect to recruiter’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the candidate profile and register your interest to apply.

Applications close at 9 a.m. Wednesday 28th January 2026.
