Board and Committee Recruitment
About Us
Day One Trust’s mission is to help young people from every background to succeed in the creative industries. Currently the Trust operates two free-to-attend academies – East London Arts & Music (ELAM - opened 2014) and London Screen Academy (LSA - opened 2019). They already have an impressive track record in getting young people from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds into creative industry careers. Our alumni include winners of the BRIT Rising Star and BAFTA Young Game Designer awards, and they are working across the UK games, music and screen industries.
We are supported by the largest players in the creative economy including YouTube, Working Title Films, EON Productions, Universal Music Group and Heyday Films.
Both our Academies are judged outstanding by OFSTED and the Trust’s finances are healthy. From these secure foundations we want to grow the organisation and expand our impact. We are considering projects to expand our existing academies, open new academies and find other ways to spread our unique approach to vocational education for the creative industries so that it is available to more young people. Our ambition is to do whatever it takes to future proof our creative industries and ensure that young people, no matter their background, have the foot-up that they need to make their greatest possible contribution.
About our boards
It is an exciting time to become a Board or Committee member at Day One Trust (DOT) as we look to increase the impact of our existing academies, ensuring their excellence is secured for the long term and explore opportunities to grow our impact beyond them, so young people everywhere, whatever their background, can benefit from the access to the creative industries, The Trust Board and its committees have oversight of the Trust and its academies, and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. Our board and committees’ strengths come from the range of different skills, experiences, backgrounds and perspectives of their members. A diagram of our board and committee structure is at the end of this document.
The foundations of both DOT academies were laid by leaders in the creative industries, spanning music, film & television; most of our founders still work closely with the academies and serve on the DOT board or on one of its committees, which include the governing bodies of the academies. They are joined by others who bring expertise in Education, finance, operations, and other areas. All of our board and committee members share a passion and commitment for the organisation’s work.
Is this for you?
Our mission is to help young people from every background to succeed in the creative industries, so representation is central to our work. We are always looking to improve the diversity of our board and committees and we want to make them as representative as possible of the characteristics and lived experiences of the young people attending our academies. We strive to make our boards inclusive spaces and welcoming to different voices and perspectives.
Whether you are an experienced trustee or wanting to take your first step at a non-executive level, we want to hear from you. We are looking for individuals with a passion for education, the creative industries & inclusion who want to use their skills and expertise or lived experiences to strengthen our governance. Candidates do not need to have previous experience of being a trustee or serving on a board. We will support you in learning about the role and the organisation through your induction and by providing ongoing support from an established board or committee member.
Commitment: For each board or committee that you join, you would be expected to attend four meetings a year as well as an annual strategy day. In addition, you would be expected to engage with the academies between meetings, using your skills, experience and expertise in the most appropriate way to have maximum impact on their success. Typically this will mean three visits to the Academies per year, which could be timed to coincide with board meetings.

Roles available
1. Trustee to chair the Safeguarding and Wellbeing Committee
The Safeguarding and Wellbeing Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Trust safeguards all of the young people in its academies and equips them to succeed in the creative industries or their chosen careers after leaving us. Our mission is to create pathways for under-represented and disadvantaged young people into those industries. Enabling them to overcome the challenges they may face in life while at our academies and afterwards is essential to that mission and we take it just as seriously as our responsibility to keep them safe from harm. We are currently seeking a dynamic individual to assume the role of the Chair of the Committee, who would also join our Trust Board.
2. Trustee to chair the Standards and Teaching Committee
The Standards and Teaching Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Trust’s educational outcomes and the quality of educational experience it provides match that mission. We want young people, whatever their background or circumstances, to make excellent progress in our academies, to experience excellent teaching, and as a result to go on to successful careers in the creative industry, either directly after leaving or after further study. We want to recruit a chair of this committee with experience of leadership in a multi-academy trust or of academy leadership, who can help us strengthen our practice and provide support and challenge to our academy and trust staff and governors. The chair would also join our Trust Board and report on the work of the committee as well as contributing to the overall strategic direction of the Trust.
3. Members of the Standards and Teaching Committee, with one also joining the ELAM Governing body
We want to grow the membership of the Trust’s Standards and Teaching Committee with 3-4 new members to broaden the range of educational expertise in the group. The Standards and Teaching Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Trust’s educational outcomes and the quality of educational experience it provides match that mission. Your educational expertise will be instrumental in enriching the overall educational experience in the academy.
Our first priority is for one of the new members to also join the ELAM Governing Body. In this role, you will play a key part in upholding the highest education standards at ELAM. As a Member of the ELAM Governing Body, you will report on the Standards and Teaching Committee’s scrutiny of educational standards at the academy, and actively contribute to governance discussions and decision-making processes.
4. Property or Estates professional to join the Finance, Audit, Operations and Risk Committee
We want to extend the Finance, Audit, Operations and Risk Committee’s knowledge and experience in property matters by recruiting individuals with experience in property development or estate management. The Trust is responsible for two unique academy buildings which provide industry standard equipment in exciting learning environments. They are now 5 and 8 years old respectively. As they begin to mature, the trust must ensure that the buildings and their facilities continue to meet the needs of students and provide an authentic industry experience for them. In addition, the Trust is planning significant expansion of the ELAM site and is exploring other growth projects, including opening new schools, which will involve constructing new buildings or converting existing sites. Ensuring that these buildings are well designed, securely funded and successfully delivered will be essential to the success of any of these future projects
