Join Our Board of Trustees
Hollingworth Learning Trust is seeking dedicated Trustees to join our Board. As a Trustee, you will volunteer to make a vital contribution to the success of our academies and trust.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to enhance your personal and professional skills. We provide comprehensive training and support to all our trustees, enabling you to fully utilize your knowledge and experience.
What Is Required
