Our client supports over 600 people with learning disabilities and their families in South West Herts. They are affiliated with a national charity but are a self-funding and independent local charity that has provided services and support to local families for the past 70 years. They currently operate across 10 sites in Hertsmere, Three Rivers and Watford. It’s an exciting time of change for the charity, having recently bought a new building to bring together its head office and children’s centre along with their plans to develop a range of brand-new short breaks services in this exciting new central hub for the charity in Watford. Over the next 5 years, they shall expand and develop this hub into a multipurpose site used by the charity and other local groups.
The charity is now looking to strengthen its Board by recruiting trustees who will have responsibility for Marketing & Communications and/or Fundraising, IT and Social Care.
Fundraising Trustee – a skilled, dynamic fundraiser with demonstrable experience of working on Grant Applications, Community Fundraising and/or Social Media Marketing. You will have strong community links and are able to open doors, making new partnerships and connections with community groups, corporate supporters and potential funders within South West Herts.
Marketing & Communications Trustee – an experienced Marketing & Communications professional who will contribute to strategic discussions and decisions, with a particular focus on all marketing and communications aspects. You will be an expert in marketing or PR/Communications along with sector knowledge in press/media management.
IT Trustee – strong knowledge in technology and/or digital sectors. Can help develop a digital strategy maximising digital impact and ensuring that they are making the best use of the technologies at their disposal, as well as providing vital perspectives in Board decision-making.
Social Care Trustee – a social care expert who can share their knowledge having worked in such a capacity. You will have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people with a learning disability in SW Herts.
Trustees have a duty to ensure that the charity is well run, solvent, legally compliant, and working towards the charitable purpose for which it was established, and Trustee roles are an important and highly rewarding way to support an organisation. Please note that Trustee roles are unremunerated voluntary positions, although reasonable travel expenses will be paid.
Our client is committed to equality of opportunity, supports, and encourages under-represented groups, and values diversity. We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, who will bring a fresh perspective to the Board, and having reviewed existing Trustee's diversity, skills, and experience, they are keen for the Board to reflect the diversity of the communities that they work with and therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.
Please contact Heidi Earp, Director of Langton Not 4 Profit our retained consultants for further information on the role. Closing date for applications is Monday 24th March.
