About the role
As a Trustee, you’ll join a passionate, skilled Board shaping the organisation’s strategic direction. Together, you’ll make collective decisions that impact the lives of children, young people, and families across the region.
With growth and innovation ahead, we’re looking for Trustees who can think strategically, challenge constructively and help adapt to new opportunities – from digital transformation and financial sustainability, to evolving regulation and governance.
About you
We’re seeking committed individuals who bring curiosity, integrity and a desire to make a difference. You might have professional skills and expertise or lived experience that offers valuable perspective.
We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds and lived experiences, to ensure the Board reflects the diversity of all communities. For this reason, although experience of working with or alongside a Board might be beneficial, it isn’t essential (because training and full induction will be provided).
We’re especially interested in one or more of the following areas:
Skills and Experience
1. Marketing & Communications
2. Finance & Budgeting
3. HR & People Development
4. ICT & Digital Innovation
5. Strategic Planning & Project Management
6. Decision-Making & Problem-Solving
Commitment
7. Board meets quarterly (approx. 2 hours each)
8. Subcommittees meet quarterly (Finance, HR, Quality & Audit)
9. Preparation time: 1-3 hours per meeting
10. Average time commitment: ~24 hours per academic year

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
