Volunteer County Trustee - Cheshire Scouts

What will you be doing?

Together, Trustees make sure the charity is well managed, risks are assessed and mitigated, buildings and equipment are in good working order, and everyone follows legal requirements and The Scout Association’s Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR). Their support helps other volunteers run a fantastic programme that gives young people skills for life (and experiences they’ll remember forever). Main Tasks:

To be a full and active participant in Trustee Board meetings and activities To uphold the responsibilities of a Trustee Board as outlined in The Scout Association’s Policy Organisation and Rules (see below) Willingness and eligibility to act as a Charity Trustee for Cheshire Scouts Contribute to the strategic aims and future development of Cheshire Scouts A commitment to understanding and forming opinions on the key discussion points and responsibilities of the Trustee Board Willingness to complete various tasks which support the work of the Trustee Board and the aims of Cheshire Scouts. Other tasks agreed with the Chair of the Trustee Board and County Lead Volunteer.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for people to support our lead volunteer and chair with their professional experience and skills. We are looking for individuals who can support the organisation for a minimum of 3 years. We would especially welcome applications from people from BAME backgrounds and women.

What difference will you make?

Trustees support leaders to deliver a fantastic programme, while having a laugh, making new friends, and learning new skills themselves. Trustees play a key part in Scouts, and keep an eye on our vision. They make sure young people have the best experience at Scouts, and check things are being done safely and legally.
