Hours: 20 - 25 hours per year
Job type: Voluntary, minimum 3 years
Location: York, Hull, North & East Yorkshire
Closing Date: Monday 2nd June 2025, 9am
Interview Date(s): Tuesday 17th June 2025
As a trustee, you will be an active member of our board and participate in one of our board subcommittees (either the Grants Committee, Investment Committee or Finance & General Purposes Committee). Your involvement will play a role in shaping our direction, and you will be encouraged to attend events and initiatives to keep you engaged with the communities we serve.
Your hours will be between 20 – 25 hours per year covering 4 board meetings of 2-3 hours, plus 4 committee meetings of 2-3 hours. Additional activities can be taken on, as agreed.
We strive to be inclusive and a place where everyone can be themselves. We want our board to be reflective of the communities we support, and we know that we are missing some important voices around our table. We encourage applications from people with disabilities, people from global majority backgrounds, people who identify as LGBTQI and those living in Hull and the East Riding.
You may bring first-hand experience of the needs of community groups and the people they work alongside. You will understand the potential that can be unlocked by impactful and equitable funding and be passionate about ensuring that our work is relevant and catalytic, particularly among those communities who experience the greatest disadvantage.
If you have expertise in finance, investment, or charity governance, your skills could be invaluable to us, too. As a trustee, you will help shape our investment strategy and ensure that we are financially robust, compliant, and operating with the highest standards of governance. You will be part of a team that ensures charities like ours have the resources to make the biggest possible impact.
We are looking for trustees who can offer generous support to our Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team, but who are also not afraid to ask the tough questions and challenge us when necessary.
Above all, you will understand that people are at the heart of everything we do.
We would love to talk to you, even if you are uncertain if you are suitable or qualified.
