In brief, the Director of Diversity is responsible for (1) directing the school’s efforts to ensure that programs and curricula reflect our promise that the school “will engage the larger communities of city, nation, and world of which we are a part” to help our students “to know themselves in the world”; (2) supporting the school’s efforts to build a more diverse faculty, staff and student body; (3) supporting faculty, students, staff, and families in creating and sustaining an inclusive school environment in which all students feel supported and valued; (4) coordinating the efforts of the PA Diversity Committee, the Board Committee on Diversity and Religion, and student and faculty groups focused on diversity; (5) informing and guiding the school as it defines strategic goals relating to diversity for the next five years.

To do so, the director will develop and review institutional policies, practices, and programs as they pertain to all forms of diversity (race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, religion and sexual orientation); direct and support the work of lower, middle, and upper school diversity coordinators; network to identify and recruit faculty who add to Trinity's diversity; serve as a resource and support for students and faculty; develop and facilitate professional development efforts to support diversity; serve on those committees and task forces that have an impact on the School’s diversity efforts.

The Director reports to the Head of School and serves as a member of the School’s Senior Staff.

Trinity is committed to enrolling a diverse student body, and the families that become part of the school community reflect the ethnic, racial, gender, socioeconomic, and religious diversity of the city it calls home. In the K-12 student population of approximately 1000, thirty two percent (32%) are from diverse backgrounds. Students primarily reside in the Upper East and West sides of Manhattan, although some students travel to school from the other boroughs of New York as well as from New Jersey.

Trinity’s faculty – a group of 170 extraordinarily talented and dedicated individuals – is certainly one of its greatest assets, and the dialogue between teacher and student is at the heart of the Trinity way of life. Among the faculty are 22 doctorates and 116 master’s degrees from prominent colleges and universities across the country and around the world. Almost 20% of faculty members represent racial diversity.

The ideal candidate will bring to the position an ability to energize and inspire others, experience leading and managing organizational change, and an eagerness to build relationships and networks to strengthen ties within and beyond the Trinity community.

Compensation will be competitive, and commensurate with experience and the New York City market. Other benefits include ample professional development funds; summer travel funds; health, dental, and life insurance; flexible spending accounts; generous retirement benefits that increase with longevity at the school.
