Volunteer Charity that supports learning disabled and/or autistic people looking for trustees

What will you be doing?

We have operated since 2002, been a registered charity since 2009, and were approved by the Charity Commission to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in 2020.  We are seeking to appoint additional Trustees to join the existing Board of Trustees and to add to our skill set.  We are proud of the work we have done over the last 20 years, and we want to continue to build our Charity for the future. Our vision is to provide for all who need this service across Greater Manchester.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for some of the following skills and experience for our board:

Clinical Governance (within a counselling and/or psychological services setting – autism and learning disability expertise particularly desirable) Health and social care commissioning and contracting (ideally in a mental health field) VCSE governance VCSE leadership (ideally in the health and social care sector - autism and Learning disabilities expertise particularly desirable). HR experience Business development and fundraising Communications and marketing

What difference will you make?

You will be joining a very dedicated team of people who will value your expertise. Being a Trustee for RfA can be a very rewarding experience, you will be supporting a group of people who may sometimes be excluded from many services for a variety of reasons. You will be joining a dedicated team of Trustees, and an organisation that is clear about its own values (set out below) and which is actively linked in across the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care system
