Trustee

Join the board of trustees at Friends and Families! Trustees will bring their skills, talent, and enthusiasm to the heart of the charity. Candidates should be fully committed to our vision, and appreciate the values of the charity, and have a strong understanding of the role of a trustee, and the importance of good governance within the charity sector.
 
Being a trustee can be incredibly rewarding and a real opportunity for understanding, not only of the charity sector, but also working at a strategic level in a challenging climate.
 
We are particularly interested in hearing from people who can bring experience skills and expertise, in one or more of the following areas: lived experience of disability, social care, employment law, finance and marketing.
 
No previous board experience is necessary. If you think you have some of the valuable skills we are looking for, we can offer mentoring and training support. We are always looking to diversify and add to our knowledge, skills and experience

We look forward to hearing from you.
