Summary

Want to make a big impact in Somerset? Join our Board of Trustees and help local voluntary groups and charities to thrive!

Detailed description

We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy and resilient communities. We do this by supporting and championing voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations and providing a range of services, training and advice.


We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.


Our exceptional Board of Trustees make this all possible, and we're on the lookout for people who share our vision and passion to join them.


We are keen that our board members come from all walks of life, just like the communities we support, and welcome applications from those involved with the organisations we work with to help expand our collective experience and knowledge. 


It's a flexible role which involves attending quarterly online and in-person board meetings and occasional subcommittee meetings.


Whilst previous experience of trusteeship is helpful, it’s not essential – if you understand the value of the local VCFSE sector and want to make a positive impact in your community, then we would love to hear from you! 


Interested in finding out more or want a chat with our Chair? Click the purple 'join' button and we will be in touch soon.


The closing date for this opportunity is Friday 7 November. Interviews are expected to be held during the week commencing Monday 24 November.
