Trinity College London transforms lives through the power of communication and performance. Established in 1872, it is a leading international awarding organisation, publisher and independent education charity, providing assessments to nearly 1 million candidates annually across over 60 countries. Trinity operates in a dynamic and fast-evolving sector – one that is growing, transforming and having a profound impact on individuals and communities around the world.
Trinity specialises in the assessment of communicative and performance skills covering music, the performing arts and English language. While widely recognised for their music and performing arts qualifications, Trinity is also a major provider of English language testing, including UK Visas and Immigration-approved Secure English Language Tests (SELTs), and an innovator in digital assessment tools and teacher support. It combines educational rigour with cutting edge research, equity and access, offering qualifications that are inclusive, flexible and globally respected.
Trinity College London is now seeking a new Chair of the Board of Trustees (their Council) to lead it at an important and exciting time in Trinity’s evolution. As a trading charity operating internationally, Trinity generates over £50 million in annual revenue. This is not a fundraising role but one that involves supporting a globally active charitable business where the incoming Chair will work closely with the Trinity Board of Trustees and Chief Executive to provide strategic leadership as the organisation enters its next phase of growth. Building on its transformation into a modern, dynamic institution, the Chair will play a key role in ensuring Trinity remains a trusted, forward-looking awarding organisation delivering sustainable growth through strong governance, operational effectiveness, and impact at its heart.
Trinity College London is seeking candidates with significant board-level experience. The successful candidate will bring a sophisticated understanding of governance, preferably from both charitable and commercial contexts, and a proven ability to lead through change. They will share Trinity’s commitment to educational equity, innovation and global reach, and be comfortable operating across a complex, multi-dimensional organisation. They will also bring integrity, sound judgement, and the interpersonal skills to steer an ambitious Council and Executive through an exciting period of growth and development.
