The Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland has been a champion of opportunity in Scottish education for more than 120 years. We are now looking for two new Trustees to join our engaged and forward-looking Board at an exciting time of renewal and growth.

We are especially keen to hear from individuals who:

• Offer skills in communications, public affairs and/or public policy development.
• Have experience developing and influencing policy on poverty alleviation, inclusion or social mobility,
• Have knowledge of post-school education access and finance, training, skills or workforce development
• Are confident, constructive and collaborative, and committed to equity and transparency.

You don’t need previous board experience – we’ll support your development. We are also open to shadow or advisory positions for those seeking to build experience.

Further details of the role are available in the Candidate Pack, accessible here.
