Summary
We are looking for trustees who are passionate about using their experience and skills to have a direct, positive impact on the lives of others.Detailed description
The Role
The trustee board oversees the overall management and administration of the charity, supporting and challenging the Director and, through this, achieving the charity’s mission and aims.
They also ensure that Ups and Downs Southwest has a clear strategy and that our work and goals align with our vision.
We meet no more than 6-8 times a year remotely, and once a year, we come together with the whole team in the South West to review and update our strategy. From time to time, you may be asked to join a sub-committee to work on a special project or provide your expertise on a specific topic.
The Person
We are looking for people who are passionate about using their experience and skills to have a direct, positive impact on the lives of others. People willing to bring energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to the role and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board.
More specifically, we are seeking people who have experience in service design and delivery, charity fundraising, specialist therapy services (i.e. Speech and Language, Physio, Educational Psychology) or education.
Having board experience is not essential; we will provide an introduction and guide you through it.
