Our current five-year strategy concludes in 2026 so the next 18 months will be an opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved, consider our future priorities, and develop a new strategy that ensures that PET continues to develop and thrive through to 2030 and beyond.
At this crucial time for the organisation, we are looking for new trustees who share both our values and our ambitions. Candidates will bring strategic vision, energy and fresh thinking to the Board, as well as a commitment to our vision and values. They will also be as committed as we are to equality, equity, diversity and inclusion and to putting lived experience at the heart of all our work.
If you care about prison education, if you want to help steer PET through the next phase of our development, and if you can offer us the dedication and commitment that we’re looking for, then we hope you will consider applying to join us.
We are committed to increasing the diversity of our Board and would particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups and from candidates with lived experience of the criminal justice system.
