Summary
We're looking for new trustees to help us to fulfil our mission of informing, strengthening and supporting the VCSE sector in Gloucestershire.Detailed description
The Gloucestershire VCS Alliance is the independent voice that informs, strengthens, and develops the voluntary and community sector in Gloucestershire.
We’re a registered charity which means that our board of trustees collectively has overall accountability for our work and delivery. Trustees are volunteers and serve a three-year term. Sadly, we are due to lose some of our trustees whose terms are due to come to an end later this year.
We’re looking for new trustees from any background, of any age (must be over 16), who have a passion for the VCSE sector and their community. We are keen for our board to reflect the breadth of the organisations we represent, so would welcome applications from candidates from organisations of all sizes. Additionally, we are looking to recruit a Treasurer.
This is a unique opportunity to lead, inspire & make a difference within local communities.
As a trustee you will receive:
- The opportunity to help create a thriving, strong, resilient VCSE sector in the county for the benefit of individuals & communities.
- Training and development, learning new skills to help you in your trustee role and beyond.
- Expenses relating to your trustee role.
In return we ask that you:
- Attend meetings - our board of trustees meets six times per year (meetings are held on Wednesdays between 2pm and 4pm in Gloucester) and holds an annual away day.
- Consent to share your information with the Charity Commission, key staff, and fellow trustees. More information about this is in our Trustee Privacy Notice.
- Undertake mandatory training and be willing to take on additional roles and responsibilities where necessary.
- Adhere to our Trustee Code of Conduct.
Please note - there are certain automatic exclusions to being a trustee unless authorised by the Charity Commission. A full list is available on the GOV.UK website.
For an informal discussion about this role and an application form, please don't hesitate to contact us.
The deadline for applications is: 5 pm on 30 September 2024.
We look forward to receiving your application.
