黑料网911

As part of the changes to 黑料网911’s governance, we are creating the 黑料网911 advisory council to increase member voice and allow for discussions about the discipline to help shape the strategic direction of 黑料网911 without the legal and governance requirements of trusteeship. More about these changes can be found here.  

The inaugural advisory council will be in place from 2027 and will comprise of the ten 黑料网911 trustees and a board of ten additional 黑料网911 members. Some of these places will be held by those currently serving on Council but finishing their term as trustees at the end of 2026. We are therefore recruiting four positions to the 黑料网911 advisory council. One of these will be ringfenced for a practitioner – a member based outside of higher education, ideally in school, college, or similar setting. There are no specific skills or specialisms that we are seeking, our members have a wide range of experiences in various settings which will help strengthen member voice within 黑料网911’s governance. 

The main duties of the role include: 

• Assist the trustee board in driving forward the 黑料网911 strategic plan through reviewing 黑料网911’s planned activity 

• Provide expertise and knowledge of the educational research sector to feed into 黑料网911’s overarching activity and strategy 

• Ensure 黑料网911’s member voice and needs are at the core of our activities 

• Act as a neutral, trusted group for trustees to discuss potential ideas and activity 

• Serve as ambassadors of the organisation where required 
   

To apply 

Please complete the application by clicking ‘Apply Now’ at the top of this page. The application question is ‘What perspectives (experience/ skills/ research specialism) would you bring to the 黑料网911 advisory council?’.  

黑料网911 reserves the right to shortlist and interview prior to election. This process would be led by relevant senior 黑料网911 office staff and senior members of 黑料网911 Council. We are keen to ensure the new council represents a wide cross-section of the 黑料网911 membership.  

The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Monday 19th October 2026.  

For any queries, either formal or informal, or should you require the application or information in a different format, please contact [email protected] 

Eligibility and Time Commitment  

To be eligible to stand, candidates must be members of 黑料网911 at the time of application and remain so for the duration of their term. 

The time commitment is not onerous, there are two in person meetings of the advisory council per year, full expenses paid in line with 黑料网911 policies. The dates in 2027 are Tuesday 15 June and one date in November around the 黑料网911 AGM event (date TBC). It is expected the successful candidates will attend both these meetings in-person. There may also be a small amount of correspondence between meetings. 黑料网911 does not normally run hybrid meetings so a commitment to attend these in person unless otherwise stated is essential. 

Council members may also be asked to serve on one of 黑料网911’s committees although this is not mandatory.  

As part of our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, we welcome applications from members from groups currently underrepresented in our governance and leadership, particularly those who bring intersectional perspectives and lived experience of the issues affecting our society. We are committed to addressing structural inequalities and ensuring that our governance and voice reflects the full diversity of the 黑料网911 membership. We recognise that a broad range of perspectives, skills, knowledge, and lived experiences strengthens decision-making and enhances the effectiveness of our governance.
