Crescent Purchasing Limited is an education owned Charity that is passionate about enhancing teaching and is looking to appoint additional Trustees who have a passion for education and enhancing teaching and learning. If you have senior experience working within in Finance or in IT/Cyber Security/AI or Legal within an Education or Procurement / Contract Management, then this is a pivotal opportunity to really make a difference and contribute to the continued growth of our Charity.

Our vision is to be the procurement services partner of choice for the education sector and through our work, help the education sector enhance teaching and learning. We do this by delivering great-value professional procurement services to the education and wider public sector. We then gift surplus reserves generated by the Charity back to the education sector to fund a variety of projects to enhance teaching, learning and the student experience. This means our customers can benefit twice from our service. Essentially, we want to keep education sector money, within the education sector.

The backbone to how we operate, as a Board of Trustees and our employees, are our values. These are; People Orientated, Supportive, Collaborative, Professional, Customer Focused . Trustees play a vital role in providing strategic direction and strong governance, as well as supporting the work of the leadership team. Our Trustees have independent control of the Charity and are committed to providing the highest standards of governance and guidance. The Trustees have a responsibility to understand the environment in which the Charity is operating and to lead the Charity in fulfilling its purpose, they are responsible for protecting the Charity’s best interest and oversee the management, strategic planning and accountability

We are seeking Trustees with high-level skills and experience from all sectors to help drive our Charity forward. We are particularly keen to strengthen the Board with experience and skills in Finance or in IT/Cyber Security/AI or in Legal within an Education or Procurement / Contract Management . We would welcome applications from senior professionals within the school and academy sector.

We have a vast number of customers who are primary and secondary schools and academies, and we want to ensure their voice is represented through our work. To reflect our aspirations to nurture a broad inclusive community, we are looking for Trustees who bring a diversity of lived experience, empathy and understanding to our Board.
