Yorkshire Cancer Research is the largest independent regional cancer charity in England. We have a clear mission to take action today by preventing cancer, diagnosing it earlier and treating it more effectively. Yorkshire as a region has one of the-worst cancer outcomes in England. Every 17 minutes, someone in Yorkshire is told they have cancer, and the charity works to ensure these people have access to world-leading treatments and have the best possible chance of survival. The charity is undergoing, significant growth and expansion in research backed services, retail network and fundraising capability. The headquarter relocated in late 2023 to bespoke premises which includes offices, charity shop, café, donation centre and facilities for delivering cancer rehabilitation programmes, directly connecting the charity with supporters, volunteers and beneficiaries. We intend to continue to grow and diversify our income and the Charity has an ambitious and stretch fundraising objective to invest over £200m in the next ten years to tackle the region’s biggest cancer issues. We are now looking to appoint a Trustee with significant fundraising expertise to join our Board to help ensure we have the right strategy, resources and governance to deliver against our ambitions. You may have experience as a Director of Fundraising, a fundraising consultant who is actively engaged across the sector, or a Chief Executive whose roots are in fundraising. Whoever you are, you will be someone with the highest level of personal integrity and maturity of judgement, with strong analytical skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a diverse Board to provide strong strategic leadership and governance. Yorkshire is big, beautiful and diverse and, as an inclusive organisation, our aim is that our Trustees reflect the rich diversity of our region. We are a high performing group of people with a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. If you bring the skills and experience, we are looking for and are motivated by our commitment to people in Yorkshire living longer healthier lives, free of cancer, please visit our partners at Starfish Search: https://starfishsearch.com/jobs/ycr-trustee/
