Trustee Vacancies
Lots of charity boards are recruiting now! Take a look at current vacancies and find the role that’s right for you.
Trustee, England – London
Positive View Foundation
Trustee, England – London
Details
Website: https://www.positiveview.org.uk
Added: 21 March 2022
Expires: 20 June 2022
Type: Trustee
Region: England – London
Sector: Youth Org
We are looking for people who combine passion with professionalism. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people who have an understanding of the lives and experiences of the young people we work with, of working in youth development, and of charity operations or governance.
We don’t expect to find all of those qualities in one person. Crucially, we are interested in how you will be different to our existing trustees, rather than how you will be similar to them.
We are interested in how you will bring empathy for the young people we work with, at the same time as strengthening the skills of the board of trustees.
We would very much welcome applications from younger people. If you feel you lack experience as a trustee but can bring insight to our work and a willingness to learn new skills, then we will welcome and support you.
