About the Rehoming Animal Telephone Service

Established 40 years ago this year, our core mission remains that we provide love, care and protection for unwanted and abandoned dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs and look for committed, loving homes for our animals.

We have a truly outstanding team of passionate and dedicated volunteers and Board members. We are driven by our values as we focus on achieving our mission and are proud to have supported thousands of animals over the past 40 years.

We are looking for four new Trustees who are passionate, strategic-minded individuals with skills that can benefit the Board of Trustees and our charity to achieve our strategic aims.

What we are looking for:

We are seeking four experienced individuals with a background in any of the following: Human Resources, Legal, Finance or Project Management.

Applicants should also be able to demonstrate the following:
  • Relevant professional/ and or academic qualifications appropriate to their expertise.
  • Ability to contribute strategically across a wide range of issues with a proven track record of effective decision-making.
  • Commitment to the organisation, its mission and values and a willingness to devote the necessary time.

  • An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship; as well as the respective roles of the Chair, Trustees and Chief Executive.
  • Interest in the care and welfare of animals is of particular interest.
    Role Description

    A Trustee is required to act reasonably and prudently in all matters relating to the charity and must always act in its best interests.

The duties of a trustee are likely to include the below:
    • To attend Board meetings and participate in decision-making by the Board and act with reasonable care and skill, ensuring that the organisation's policies are in line with current legislation and good practice and providing the strategic leadership necessary for all staff to always deliver high-quality services.
    • To be a member of a Committee of the Board as required and in line with expertise or interest - either the Financial Risk and Audit Committee or the Performance and Strategy Committee.
    • To monitor and assess the organisation's results in relation to the agreed objectives, budget and business plan.
    • To ensure that the organisation is structured to ensure it is financially sound by approving and regularly reviewing the organisation's budget and structure.
    • To ensure that all published reports adequately reflect the nature of the organisation and its financial health.
    • To promote the reputation of the organisation and represent the organisation at public events.
