Since 2005, Aurora Orchestra has established itself amongst the most creative and distinctive voices in classical music worldwide. As the pioneer of memorised orchestral performance, Aurora is redefining what an orchestra can do through its acclaimed 'Orchestral Theatre' productions. Resident in London at Southbank Centre and Kings Place, Aurora delivers over 100 performances each year, from symphonic projects for the BBC Proms and international festivals to storytelling concerts for young children and immersive performances in schools, shopping centres and nightclubs. Through its free Aurora Classroom programme the orchestra supports high-quality music education in schools throughout the UK, with subscribing teachers in more than two-thirds of local authorities nationally. The orchestra is in a strong position with a unique artistic offering, a robust financial model, and extensive national and international touring planned for 2026/27 and beyond. As John Harte steps down after 16 years, the board is seeking an inspirational Chief Executive to work alongside co-founders Jane Mitchell (Artistic Director) and Nicholas Collon (Principal Conductor). This is a rare opportunity to lead an orchestra at the cutting edge of classical music, with key challenges including ensuring continuing artistic success, consolidating financial resilience, and managing growth as Aurora matures. Reporting to the board chaired by Dame Liz Forgan DBE, you will have overall responsibility for strategic planning, financial health and day-to-day operations. Working as creative executive producer with the artistic leadership, you will lead the staff team, develop new partnerships and touring opportunities, provide overall leadership of fundraising including a new Philanthropy Committee, and act as Aurora's ambassador across the arts and education sectors. You will bring the ability to build strong rapport with artists and act as an effective executive producing partner, with entrepreneurial instincts and appetite for risk. Essential experience includes financial direction and budget management, leading complex projects and teams, and a strong fundraising track record. Outstanding communication skills and a collaborative approach are vital. Orchestral knowledge would be advantageous, but we welcome candidates from non-orchestral backgrounds who demonstrate enthusiasm for Aurora's mission. Aurora Orchestra is working with Perrett Laver to recruit to this role. For further details please visit Perrett Laver's website.

Established in 2011 as Croydon's first primary multi-academy trust, PAT now serves around 2,500 pupils across six primary schools in the London Borough of Croydon, supported by a central business and school improvement team. The Trust has a strong local reputation, runs its own Early Career Teacher programme, and is ambitious to continue its steady growth while maintaining high standards and a welcoming, inclusive ethos. Skills Finance Legal Address: At one of the schools in the Trust all of which are in Croydon Type of establishment: Multi-academy trust Usual start time of meeting: Currently most meetings are mixed with some directors being present in person and others joining online What does the role include? As a trustee/director your key responsibilities are to ensure clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction; to hold executive leaders to account - both for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and to oversee the organisation's financial performance to ensure its funds are directed to the best possible educational outcomes for young people. By volunteering as a trustee/director you will be responsible for contributing to the strategic decision-making of the board, helping the trust to realise immediate and long-term goals, and ultimately ensuring transparency, accountability, and challenge.
