Join Candoco’s Board of Trustees

Role overview

Candoco’s Trustees play a central role in the life of the company, working alongside the executive team to ensure the ethos, values, and purposes of the organisation are upheld. Our Board is made up of passionate individuals who enrich the company with their industry and life experiences, and who are excited to support an ambitious team.

The Trustees will share a passion for our work and be committed to ensuring Candoco remains an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation, well-positioned to help pave the way for intersectional models of inclusivity.

We are interested in meeting individuals with an authentic commitment to our mission of removing barriers to the performing arts for disabled and non-disabled artists and audiences, while also challenging perceptions of what dance can be and who can do it. We are therefore seeking Trustees who are open to working in a collaborative and dynamic way, acting as advisors, soundboards, and supporters to the team.

This is a voluntary role and no salary is offered. Reasonable travel expenses to attend meetings in person from outside Greater London are reimbursed on presentation of receipts. Some meetings will take place via Zoom. 

Required commitment

We request a three-year initial Term of Service, renewable by the re-election process outlined by Candoco’s Memorandum & Articles. The maximum Term of Service is two consecutive terms, or a period of six years, at which time a Board Member must take a break of one year before being re-elected.

• The full Board meets quarterly, plus for one annual Away Day.
• Sub-committees meet in addition to this commitment.
• Ad hoc meetings or conference calls are occasionally convened throughout the year.
• It is hoped that Board Members will attend Candoco’s performances and events as much as possible each year.

This is a broad summary of what the role entails. For more detailed information about becoming a Trustee with Candoco,

please download the Information Pack via the Downloads section below.

A full induction and support tailored to individuals is available to all Trustees.
We are committed to ensuring a fully accessible application process and endeavour to meet any access needs.

At Candoco, we deeply value diverse voices and experiences, and are working to ensure that our leadership is representative of the communities we serve.

We also recognise that traditional routes into leadership positions are often inaccessible to disabled people and those from other marginalised communities. Whether you come with deep sector knowledge or transferable skills from other areas, we encourage individuals from all backgrounds, ages, and levels of experience to express their interest – your perspective matters!

How to apply

To express your interest in becoming a Trustee with Candoco, please complete the online form here with a short paragraph, voice note or video explaining how your skills and experience could support Candoco to fulfil its mission. Please also attach your CV or provide a link to your website/ LinkedIn profile.

To assist with the implementation of our Equal Opportunities policy, please complete and submit an Equal Opportunities monitoring form along with your expression of interest.

We aim to review expressions of interest once monthly, and appreciate your patience in receiving a response.

Thank you for your interest in joining Candoco Dance Company!

Housemaster/Housemistress
Candidate Information Pack
Starting September 2026

Welcome from the Headmaster

Dear Applicant,

The word I hear mentioned most regularly
when speaking to the pupils, parents, and staff
of Shiplake College is ‘community’. So, thank
you for taking the time to consider the role of
Housemaster/Housemistress, as it represents
a wonderful opportunity to join our very special
Shiplake community.

Shiplake College is an HMC co-educational boarding
and day school offering a holistic education for
around 580 pupils from Year 7 to Sixth Form.
There has been a co-educational Sixth Form since
1998 and since September 2023 girls have been
welcomed into Year 7, as we continue our journey
to become a fully co-educational place of learning.
We are nestled in leafy South Oxfordshire, five
minutes from Henley, and sit right on the River
Thames. It is a beautiful place to work.

As well as providing a fantastic learning and living
environment for young people, Shiplake offers
an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding working
environment.

We strive to recruit the best possible teaching and
support staff to drive the College forwards and
ensure we continue to provide the best possible
rounded education for our pupils.

Above all, Shiplake is a school where we try
to live out authentically our three core values
– the Three Is – Inclusive, Individual, and
Inspirational.

‘Inclusive’ is our cornerstone with our strong sense
of community in which everyone has value and
where the prevailing culture is one of kindness.

‘Individual’ represents our all-ability school in
which we not only recognise but also celebrate that
everyone is different - thank goodness for that!
This is a personal best school.

And finally, ‘Inspirational’ - the pre-requisite at
Shiplake is that everyone – students and staff alike
- turn up each day with a smile, a positive attitude,
and a willingness to engage with all aspects of
school life.

Shiplake College is a school where academic rigour
is non-negotiable, but character development
is just as important. We strive to help students
develop broad interests across a wide range of
co-curricular areas, bolster self-esteem, and give a
sense of our place in the wider world with the aim
to make a positive difference to society.

Embracing the lifestyle at a busy and vibrant
boarding school is paramount for anyone wishing to
work at Shiplake. Knowing our pupils well enables
us to ensure that they get the best from their
education here, and this is a pivotal part of any role
at the College. This is a great opportunity for the
right candidate and ‘fit’ is very important to us.

Thank you for your interest in working at Shiplake
College and, as we look to an exciting future, I
hope that you will consider being part of that story.

Tyrone Howe

The College
Shiplake College is a thriving and relatively young HMC school. In
September 2025 we welcomed 580 boarding and day pupils aged 11-
18 (up from 536 the previous term). There has been a co-educational
Sixth Form since 1998 and since September 2023 girls have joined in
Year 7 (now making up 40% of all co-educational year groups) as the
College goes fully co-educational.

Overlooking the River Thames, two miles upstream of the famous
Henley Royal Regatta stretch, pupils enjoy a beautiful and inspiring
63-acre rural site. The College is conveniently located near major air,
railway and motorway networks, close to Reading, London and Oxford
and just 40 minutes from Heathrow.

Full, weekly, part- and flexi-boarding is available from Year 9 (from
Year 7 in 2027), with ad hoc ‘overnight stays’ also an option for day
pupils.

Every pupil is placed at the heart of Shiplake life and the College’s
ethos is underpinned by the Three Is – Inclusive, Individual and
Inspirational.

Shiplake provides a friendly, supportive and structured environment to
bring out the best in each and every pupil. Renowned for outstanding
pastoral care and personal development, the College welcomes pupils
with wide-ranging skills and talents, who will make the most of the
many opportunities offered to them.

The College provides an education that is tailored to the individual,
achieved through engaging and inspirational teaching, delivered in
small classes where the teachers can know and understand each
pupil’s method of learning.

The College continues to see year-on-year improvements in
examination results. In August 2025, Shiplake leavers achieved
excellent public examination grades, with the best ever GCSE results
setting a new academic benchmark for the College. At GCSE, pupils
achieved 38% of 9-7 grades and 64% grades 9-6, an increase from
34% and 58% respectively in 2024. Overall, 93% of GCSE grades were
marked 9-4 (93% in 2024). At Sixth Form, the percentage of A*-C
grades was 82%, and 59% at A*-B.

In addition to a strong academic foundation, the College offers
excellent sporting, artistic and co-curricular opportunities. Two
afternoons are reserved for an array ...
