London, United Kingdom Agenda Alliance Full time

Job description

We are seeking **new Trustees** to play an active role in the Agenda Alliance Board to ensure the organisation delivers on its mission and vision and is effectively governed and **a Chair of Trustees** to take the lead in planning and running Trustee meetings, working closely with the Chief Executive.

**Background**

We are a small, impactful and fast-moving charity with over 100 member organisations. We conduct research, we campaign, we convene the sector, and we amplify the voices of women and girls with unmet needs.

We are almost 7 years old, and part of the new five-year strategy is to strengthen our governance as we transition into a mature organisation. We have big ambitions, and to succeed in achieving those, we need a powerful, inclusive and visionary Board of Trustees.

We are incredibly lucky to have a set of immensely talented, skilled and highly respected Trustees and **we are now seeking 2 or 3 new Trustees and a new Chair to join them.** Together, the Agenda Alliance board will help build on our progress to date, shape our future and steer the organisation through our next period of delivery.

**Who are we looking for?**

We are looking for people to join us that are values-aligned. That’s the most important thing for us.

In addition, we are looking for a passionate Chair that brings with them some experience of having been a Chair for a charity; and we are seeking Trustees with skills and experience in the following areas, which we have identified as gaps on our Board:

- Law and legal practice
- Racial equity and anti-racism
- Schools/education and/or school exclusions
- Alliance/coalition membership organisations
- Digital and social media

Trustees are appointed for a four-year term and can serve consecutive terms.

**Remuneration**: The role of trustee is not accompanied by any financial remuneration, although reasonable expenses may be claimed.

**Closing date**: 9am, 31st January 2023

Interviews will be held with a panel in the last 2 weeks of February 2023, with the aim to appoint the new Trustees and a Chair at the March Board meeting on Wednesday 29th March 2023 (11am-1pm).

**Interested?**

People with lived experience of the issues linked to our work are also encouraged to apply. Each applicant will be individually assessed regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion or belief.

No agencies please.
