Join to apply for the Trustee – Funding & Bid Application Review role at Harmonia Careers.
Role Description
We are seeking a new Trustee to strengthen our multi-skilled and hard-working board, with specific expertise in funding and bid applications.
While we already have skilled board members and volunteers who can write strong funding applications, what we currently lack is the time and experience to:
* Research potential funding opportunities
* Review and filter which opportunities are worth pursuing
* Summarise and present recommendations to the Board and staff
This new Trustee role would add significant value to the work we already provide by helping us focus our efforts on the most promising funding sources.
Skills and Background
* Experience in bid applications, grant funding, or fundraising — particularly in identifying and assessing opportunities
* Strong analytical and critical thinking skills to weigh up eligibility, likelihood of success, and fit with our charity’s mission
* Confidence in working with information, making judgements, and communicating clear summaries to colleagues
* A background in areas such as fundraising, charity administration, project management, finance, business development, or legal/governance would all be relevant and useful
Commitment
As a Trustee, this voluntary role involves attending Board meetings, which are approximately every two months, an annual strategy day, occasional working groups, and the AGM. Meetings are held in person where possible, with online options available. We also hold fundraising events, which you are warmly encouraged to support.
The expected commitment is around 10 hours a month, including reviewing opportunities and communicating with fellow Trustees and staff via email, WhatsApp, or phone.
