We’re looking for two new non-member trustees to join our board. A Board of Trustees is the group of individuals responsible for a charity’s governance and setting and overseeing the strategy. They ensure the organisation is administered effectively, and accounts for its activities and outcomes.
As the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK, it is important to us that our trustee board includes people with different skills, knowledge and lived experiences, so that they have a broad range of opinions. There are members and non-members on our board, and we value everyone’s contribution.
At Girlguiding South West England, striving to be an inclusive and impactful organisation is at the heart of what we do. We recognise that being a great trustee isn’t just about the skills that you can bring to the table, but also the unique perspectives that come from your background and life experiences.
The key skills and attributes that we’re looking for in our trustees are:
* Confident to speak up and ensure your views are heard
* Capacity to be proactive in reviewing papers and considering views before meetings
* Excited to be part of shaping the future and responding to challenges
* Ability to think of the bigger picture for the benefit of members and potential members across South West England
* Approachable and open minded, and able to work with others
* Committed to our values.
In this round of trustee recruitment, we are looking for applications from people who are not currently members of Girlguiding who can offer skills and experience in one or more of the following areas:
* Equity, diversity and inclusion, which may include lived experience
* Marketing, communications, and stakeholder engagement
* Commercial acumen
* Active in networks across South West England civic society or experience in influencing others
* Property management
We’re for all girls and we want Girlguiding South West England to be a safe and welcoming space for every person that wants to join us. Our trustee board should be as diverse as the girls that we support and inspire which is why we encourage trustee applications from people of all backgrounds. In particular, we would welcome trustee applications from people with disabilities and individuals from ethnic minority groups.
If you need support to help you apply or need this information in a printed or other format, please let us know in advance so that we can ensure appropriate arrangements are made.
If you would like to have an informal chat, please get in touch with Julie Brown, Executive Manager who can arrange for you to speak with Racheal Tattum, chief commissioner and chair of the trustee board.
Girlguiding South West England values inclusivity, and so we welcome requests for support or reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process.
