We are looking for three new trustees to help guide our strategy, strengthen our governance and ensure that we remain true to our purpose of spreading joy, comfort and companionship through the magic of pets.
What difference will you make?
You will bring your own skills and perspectives to help us shape PAT's next phase of growth. In return, you'll have the opportunity to be part of a truly unique charity, one that harnesses the bond between people and their pets to transform lives every day.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our Board. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with the following skills and experience Animal Care and Behaviour - The wellbeing of the companion animals is of upmost importance to us. Someone with experience in veterinary care will help us develop best practice in our own operation and set an example to the sector. Education - Our volunteers visit over 1,600 schools. Someone with education experience will help us to ensure we deliver the best possible service to children and young people. Volunteer Management - A key part of our current strategy is improving our volunteer engagement and our volunteer experience. Therefore we'd welcome applications from people with a background in volunteer management and volunteer led organisations.
What will you be doing?
Pets As Therapy is a national charity with a simple but powerful mission to share the joy of pets with people who need it most. Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that PAT achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that PAT has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable the charity to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
