Trustee - Charitable Board
1 month ago
The Board and Leadership team at Charity People is thrilled to be partnering with the UK section of this leading International Human Rights Organisation.
About the Charity:
Our Partner is a global movement of more than 10 million people who are committed to creating a future where human rights are enjoyed by everyone. United by our shared humanity, we know that the power to create positive change is within all of us.
The Charitable Trust:
The Trust are seeking to add 3 members to its Board. In making these appointments, the belief is that the ability to operate competently at Board level is more important than established experience. Choosing to operate via consensus decision making as opposed to simply voting and majority rules is crucial to the board culture being cultivated. Professional experience is of less importance than lived experience or grassroots experience. However, should any applicants have competence in the following areas, we would be pleased to hear from them:
- UK fundraising/ Income experience, Experience of philanthropy/ HNWI/ Trusts and Foundations
Grants Administration (either as a grant maker or recipient)
Diversity and Inclusion
About the Trustee Role:
Serving as a Trustee will include ensuring that the Trust successfully pursues its vision and objectives while acting within its constraints and responsibilities. The Trust Board holds fiduciary responsibility for the organisation and safeguards its good name and values. Members of the Trust Board are legally defined as Company Directors and are also accountable as Trustees under charity law.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Safeguarding the good name and values of the Trust and ensuring that the organisation's culture is consistent with its values.Providing leadership, support and oversight so that the organisation delivers its policies and goals in inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism and feminist leadership, and demonstrating a commitment to their policies in this area.
To help the Chair by participating in the Chief Executive's annual objective setting and performance assessment
Time commitment
The Charitable Trust Board usually meets on a Thursday afternoon/early evening for up to four hours in March, May and September. It also meets together with the UK Section Board for joint training and reflection over two days (Friday and Saturday) in July and December. Additionally, there are typically two joint Board briefings per year on a weekday evening of approximately two hours duration.
Board members are likely to be asked to join a sub-committee, which will meet four times per year, usually on a weekday afternoon or early evening.
Aside from meeting attendance and preparation, we would expect Board members and sub-committee member to monitor emails for updates and occasional requests and those with a specialist brief (such as Finance or Human Resources) should be reasonably available to provide advice and support to senior managers with a corresponding brief.
How to Apply:
We will host a Q&A webinar with the charity at 6pm on 15th August 2024, where they will share further insights and answer any additional questions you may have. In the first instance send your CV to and we will forward you the recruitment pack and the link to register to attend this webinar
Timeline:
Closing date: 9am 30th August 2024
