Trustees

Due to recent and forthcoming planned retirements, our client the national charity for children in care and young care leavers are now seeking three new Trustees to join their diverse and dynamic Board of Trustees.

Trustees
Location: London, EC1V 9HU
Salary: This is an unpaid role, but they provide expenses for travel and subsistence.

They are the national charity for children in care and young care leavers, they are here to make a difference to individual lives right now, and to improve the care system as a whole for future generations. They believe that young people who've experienced care should have the same chances as everyone else to live happy, fulfilled lives. They put young people at the heart of everything they do - helping them to be powerful agents of positive change in their own lives, in the care system and in society.

Due to recent and forthcoming planned retirements they are now seeking three new Trustees to join their diverse and dynamic Board of Trustees.

As a Trustee you will have the opportunity to shape the future of their charity and work with other Trustees and the staff team to help them deliver their mission of helping children in care and young care leavers to unleash their potential and to make the care system the best it can be.

This is an important and exciting time to join the charity as they finalise their new five year strategy with lots of ambition for the coming years.

Their target is to have at least half of their Board members who are care-experienced. They also actively seek to bring diversity of perspectives and experience, and welcome applications from younger people, those with disabilities, those from racially-marginalised backgrounds and LGBTQ+ communities. Gender balance is important to them, so they particularly encourage women to apply.

Closing date: 9.00am on Friday 8 November 2024

There will be a two stage interview process:

• Interview with young people (online) - Tuesday 19 November
• Interview with Trustees (and with the Chief Executive) - Thursday 28 November

The Board of Trustees interview will take place in person at 88 Old Street, London, EC1V 9HU.
