Trustee

We are looking for new Trustees to join our board that are enthusiastic, committed and feel that they can add value to the organisation. We are particularly seeking individuals with experience of working in the voluntary sector.

If you are a motivated individual who would like to use your professional or other experience to contribute to and develop a local charity, we would like to hear from you.

As a charity Trustee, and member of the Board, you will share collective responsibility for the overall running and strategic direction of the charity, ensuring good governance and prudent financial management. You will be joining an existing group of Trustees with a wide range of professional skills and experience, and supported by a motivated, skilled and hardworking staff team with their own operational expertise, and a passion for changing peoples’ lives.

As a member of the Board of Trustees you will have the opportunity to help develop the charity's strategic goals, monitor performance and guide and support the staff team. Your time, knowledge, experience and skills will be invaluable to our continued success and will help us achieve our mission and increase our impact in a challenging financial climate.

This is a voluntary role requiring a commitment to attend quarterly board meetings, which usually take place in Chelmsford. New Trustees are also required to attend an induction session prior to their first board meeting.

We welcome interest in this role from people of all ages, and communities.

What skills do I need?

Depending on individual skills, expertise and time available Trustees may also volunteer to take on other tasks between meetings such as reviewing policies or accounts, bid writing and fundraising, or attending events.
