We have a vacancy for a Trustee to share responsibility for the strategic direction of the charity. You will be required to attend bi monthly Board Meetings and undertake some training in Trustee duties. Experience of Learning Disability is helpful but not essential. Management experience would be a considerable advantage.
We are looking for someone who has the time to take an interest in the business of the charity and be committed to helping us achieve our aims and objectives. An induction pack, including a role description, will be provided.
An initial informal discussion can be arranged with senior trustees, to provide more information, before meeting the full Board.
