Volunteer HR Trustee

What will you be doing?

All trustees play a vital role in the organisation and help to ensure that we continue to provide support to people who are homeless in Leicester.  The HR trustee will ensure the highest standards of governance relating to employee relations, recruitment, retention, reward and recognition as well as staff training and development.  You will also advise the charity in respect of HR matters, ensuring that the charity follows best practice and all regulatory/legal requirements are met.

What are we looking for?

Up-to-date HR knowledge and experience, and ability to share this with other Trustees.  Ability to keep an active overview of all policies pertaining to staffing.  Strategic experience.  Existing Trustee experience is desirable but not essential.  Having an interest in our cause is crucial for all Trustees.  You will be committed to work we do but do not need to be knowledgeable as we will induct in this area.

What difference will you make?

The Bridge is an outreach to the lost and lonely of Leicester, to the homeless, and to those who just have nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Today, The Bridge's team and volunteers derive from many backgrounds and religions, all with one common goal: to help those who are on the street move from despair to hope.  It's an exciting time to join us as we are looking to grow and expand our services.
