Trustees

ACS International Schools is a leading provider of high-quality international education, operating schools (day and boarding) for students between the ages of 3 to 18 from around the world at our campuses in the UK based in Greater London.

We are proud of our diverse and welcoming community and the outstanding educational offering that our staff deliver. We are a global family offering a positive and energising working environment where our employees can fulfil their potential. We believe in the importance of developing in our students the curiosity to ask questions, the courage to take risks, the compassion to care for all, and the knowledge, understanding and confidence to thrive. Together, we inspire our students to become the world’s next global thinkers and doers. Founded in 1967 to serve the needs of global and local families, ACS International Schools educate around 2,500 students, aged 2 to 18, day and boarding, from more than 100 countries. Our schools – three in the Greater London area, are all non-sectarian and co-educational.

We are now looking to recruit and develop two trustees to serve on our Board.  One role will have particular focus on Safeguarding whilst the additional role will have a more commercial focus.  We are particularly interested in candidates who can offer knowledge, skills and commercial experience in the corporate and/ or charity sector. While previous experience in the education sector and in-depth knowledge of safeguarding regulations is of added interest, we are looking primarily for people with previous Board level / C-suite experience who can add diversity of thinking and high calibre, thoughtful critical challenge. We also welcome candidates who are able to contribute greater diversity of representation to our Board.  The appointees will enjoy the opportunity to further develop our charitable purpose strategy and programmes.

ACS International Schools is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. It is fully committed to the principles of equality, diversity and inclusivity in its recruitment of teaching and operational staff. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service
