London, Greater London, United Kingdom Reach Volunteering Full time

Gingerbread is the charity for single parents. We challenge discrimination, and campaign against the inequalities single parents face. We support single parents by providing them with expert advice and information. And we build connections – providing a support network so that no single parent is ever alone

This is an exciting opportunity to join a passionate and inclusive organisation making a real difference to single-parent families across England and Wales.

What will you be doing?

Our Board is made up of Trustees and Co-opted Trustees who bring together their skills and experience to provide stewardship to Gingerbread and its staff. We are seeking Trustees with a variety of skills and experience to join our Board.

In addition to the statutory duties of Trustees, each Trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the board of Trustees reach sound decisions. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.

Trustees generally meet for full Board meetings a minimum of five times a year. Please see request a copy of the candidate pack for further details.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for Trustees with the following experience and capabilities:

Fundraising, particularly around Trusts and Statutory Fundraising, Corporate pitch development, and Individual Giving experience. As well as experience developing Fundraising and Engagement strategies. Financial management, mainly focused in the charity sector. Service delivery experience. Safeguarding experience. Legal, HR, IT, and GDPR are also skillsets we are also interested in recruiting. Gingerbread wishes to actively encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented communities and single parents.

To ensure we do not exclude candidates who cannot commit to being Trustees we do have the option to be a Co-opted Trustee or Advisor to the Board. These roles have different commitment and responsibility levels. Please get in touch if you are interested in exploring this further.

What difference will you make?

There are over 1.8 million single parents in England and Wales. Although the majority of them are working, they're twice as likely to live in poverty as couple parents. And too many single parents experience loneliness, worry and the impact of negative stereotypes in the media and wider society. As a Trustee, you will join us in leading the fight to create a society where all single parents and their children can thrive.

As you'd expect, we're a family-friendly charity. We offer a supportive team culture and good work-life balance, while delivering impressive results.

Before you apply

The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting Gingerbread with their Trustee recruitment. Applications should be made via TrusteeWorks in the first instance.

To apply please send your CV/LinkedIn profile along with a supporting statement explaining why you are interested in the role, the skills and experience you will bring to the Board and what you would hope to get out of the role.

The deadline for applications is Friday 6th September. Please note that we will be reviewing applications as we receive them and may close the role early if we get sufficient interest.
