Why recruit

Non-executive directors can help an academy trust with strategy, financial stewardship, and performance - your trust is likely to need and gain from different board member skills at different stages of growth and development.

How to recruit

Engaging with the Academy Ambassadors Programme is easy - we provide a one-to-one Adviser to guide you through the recruitment process to make a successful board appointment.

“As part of a change management programme, Academy Ambassadors has been working alongside Rye Academy Trust for the past year. In helping to establish and appoint three new Trustees, they have been instrumental in re-shaping the board. I have been particularly impressed at the way in which Sarah and her team approached the assignment and their understanding of the Trust and it’s needs. I energetically and unreservedly recommend them to sector colleagues”
