Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom WESC Foundation Full time

Trustee

InFocus Charity is looking for trustees to shape its vital work in transforming the lives of young people with vision impairment & complex needs.

We are looking for new trustees who care deeply about transforming the lives of young people with vision impairment and other complex needs. Ideally, you will have a background in SEND, adult care services or experience in charity management or governance.

The role
As a member of the board of trustees you will oversee the strategic direction of the charity and ensure its effective management. You will also ensure that InFocus Charity has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, you will support and challenge the executive team to enable InFocus Charity to grow and thrive, and through this, to transform the lives of young people with vision impairment and complex needs.

We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. You do not need previous governance experience - we will provide a full induction and training.

Personal skills and qualities:

  • A passion for our cause. Willingness and ability to understand and accept their responsibilities and liabilities as trustees and to act in the best interests of the organisation. Ability to think creatively and strategically, exercise good, independent judgement and work effectively as a board member. Effective communication skills and willingness to participate actively in discussion. A strong personal commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. Enthusiasm for our vision and mission. Willingness to lead according to our values InFocus Charity. Commitment to Nolan's seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership. Some knowledge of Special Educational Needs (SEN) and adult care would be useful but not essential.
