Trustee – Astrum College
Astrum College helps young adults with SEND earn their first real paid job through supported internships. We're recruiting a Trustee to help more of them get there—your decisions shaping their future. Join a small, friendly board doing life-changing work. No experience needed—just commit to making a difference.
What Difference Will You Make?
As a Trustee at Astrum College, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our board grows the College safely and confidently during this critical early stage. Your judgement and oversight will help us:
- Open more internship places for young adults with SEND
- Build stronger partnerships with employers
- Keep young people at the heart of every decision
In practical terms, strong governance directly impacts our ability to support more young people into paid employment. Every Trustee contributes to making this vision a reality.
What Are We Looking For?
We’re looking for someone who is passionate about inclusion and committed to helping young people overcome barriers. Ideally, you’ll bring at least three years of professional experience in one or more of these areas:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Finance, fundraising, law, or governance (to help a young charity grow on strong foundations)
- Leadership or strategic development/planning (from any sector)
- Change management (guiding an organisation through growth)
- Safeguarding (essential when working with young people with SEND)
- Education, advice/advocacy, or mentoring/coaching (ideally with knowledge of SEND, health, or employment support)
While we’d love to have strong expertise in these areas, what matters most is your judgement, integrity, sincerity, and a willingness to listen and ask tough questions. Above all, we want Trustees who are genuinely committed to inclusion and opportunity for young adults with SEND.
An additional strength would be lived experience with disability or supporting someone with SEND—this insight would bring invaluable perspectives to the Board.
We Want a Board That Reflects Us
You don’t have to be an accountant, an education professional, or a governance expert to contribute—we welcome people from all backgrounds.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
In return, you’ll get: ✔ A warm welcome and supportive induction ✔ The opportunity to see how your decisions directly improve lives ✔ Flexible, hybrid working
What Will You Be Doing?
As a Trustee, you’ll:
- Guide the future of Astrum College, ensuring it remains impactful and resilient
- Help shape key decisions—such as expanding internship places and strengthening employer partnerships
- Ensure our young people’s voices lead every strategy
Our Board is small, new, and evolving, meaning every Trustee has a tangible influence. Whether through committee work, policy development, or bettering inclusion in our organisation, your role will be dynamic.
We particularly seek people who are enthusiastic about opening doors for young adults with SEND—regardless of whether you’ve held a governance role before. No previous experience in education is expected—we’ll support you every step of the way.
