Woodgreen is a charity that’s here for pets and their people. We started our journey 100 years ago. We’ve done truly amazing work along the way, helping countless pets to get back on their paws. However, our mission remains as important, and urgent, as ever…
The landscape for pet rescue and support has changed greatly in the last few years. Our trustees’ expertise, passion, enthusiasm and strategic leadership is pivotal in ensuring that Woodgreen’s pet services are impactful, sustainable and adaptable.
It is an exciting time to join the Board of Trustees at Woodgreen as we move forward with a new pathway that empowers pet owners with the vital information they need at every step of the pet ownership journey – achieving better welfare outcomes for more pets.
Our trustees provide clear strategic direction and ensure that our work stays true to our mission. To match our ambition and commitment to the welfare of pets and their people, we are seeking new trustees from a diverse range of professional backgrounds and experience within these key areas:
* Accountancy and charity finance
* Charity fundraising and income generation
* People
* Treasury
With 5 Council meetings per year and up to 5 additional committee commitments our trustees support and challenge our Executive Team to set policy, strategic objectives and goals whilst evaluating performance against them. They ensure that we carry out our activities and use our resources solely for its charitable purposes – the relief of the needs of pets through care and rehoming, and the education of the public as to responsible ownership and care of pets.
We aim to make becoming a Trustee a thoroughly rewarding experience and it’s a great way to expand your professional and personal network, through meeting and working with likeminded people that share a passion for promoting animal welfare. With a strong commitment to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion we welcome applications from a wide range of candidates to help us scale our impact and delivery of our mission. We are always seeking new talent and are open to applications from candidates who may combine any of the above skills/expertise with other experience or talents that may benefit our charity. If this sounds like you, please still apply.
Previous experience of charity boards or governance would be advantageous but is not essential as training will be provided.
The role of a Trustee is not accompanied by any financial remuneration but reasonable expenses for travel will be reimbursed.
