The Trustee Recruitment Service (TRS) was created in 2022 to respond to the government’s drive for all schools to join trusts. We work closely with academy trusts to find them the perfect trustee(s) that’ll make a difference to their trust.
TRS is a specialist arm of Governors for Schools, a charity which works to source school governors for governing board roles in educational institutions. As an organisation, we’re pleased and honoured to have the opportunity to address recruitment gaps for academy trustees. In addition, we strive to help improve educational standards across trusts through our work. Our experience within the sector means that we understand that as more schools come together, the need for skilled and committed academy trustees continues to grow.
