Reading, United Kingdom PACT-10 Part time

Voluntary Trustees and Vice Chair

Could you be one of our next Trustees?  Could you be the next Vice Chair of our Board?

PACT, with a rich history dating back to 1911, is a leading adoption charity and trauma recovery provider across southern and central England. By joining us, you'll play a crucial part in placing children in secure and loving families, empowering women to take control of their lives and aiding the recovery of those affected by domestic abuse.

We’re looking for individuals to join our Board of Trustees who share our passion for making a real difference to the lives of hundreds of children, women and families. We’re particularly keen to hear from people with skills and experience in marketing, digital development, lived experience of our services, including from adopters, children’s or adult social care and commercial business.

We know the value of having board members who champion inclusive values and bring a wide variety of perspectives to our organisation and welcome applications for people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures and levels of experience.

If you’re interested in joining as a Trustee and have no prior board experience this isn’t a problem. For the Vice Chair role some prior Trustee experience or transferable skills would be ideal.  

We provide comprehensive training and support and offer flexibility and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Plus, you'll gain immense satisfaction from knowing your efforts directly impact vulnerable individuals and families.

What would you get from being a PACT trustee?

  • Satisfaction of knowing your contribution will make a real difference to the lives of many vulnerable children, women and families
  • An opportunity to use your skills and knowledge, possibly in a different environment or context
  • A chance to contribute to the charity’s strategic growth
  • A chance to expand your experience of charities and gain new skills
  • A boost to your career and CV
  • An opportunity to work alongside other skilled and committed trustees
  • High-quality induction, training and support from us and other charity-support organisations

If you’re excited by our work, have time to give and want to be part of something truly meaningful and live changing, this fantastic opportunity could be for you.

An informal discussion with our CEO, Natausha van Vliet can be arranged, more details in our attached Trustee Recruitment Pack. If you are interested in the Vice-Chair opportunity we can arrange for an informal discussion with our current Vice-Chair.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 31 May 2024

Interviews will be held on Wednesday 12 June 2024.
