Trustee - children's charity

What will you be doing?

You will join us at an exciting time as we pursue growth of fostering and residential services, as well as growth of our early help offer. 

You will joint at least one committee. Optionally, you may join the "services" committee as well.

You will provide support and challenge to the management team.

You’ll contribute 2 to 6 hours a month. The Charity board meets every quarter and committees every 8 to 52 weeks depending on which. There is an annual in person away day which Trustees are asked to attend in person. 

You’ll join a Charity that’s brought £millions of investment into Tees Valley and that helps over 1000 local people a year. We’ve been runners up at the national Charity Governance Awards and ‘community’ winners at the Hartlepool Business Awards. 

We are looking for experienced professionals who share our values and want to help. 

What are we looking for?

At this time we are specifically looking for Trustees with some of these areas of skills or experience:

Management 

Business finance 

Finance 

HR / People and culture 

Service quality and development 

Audit and risk management 

What difference will you make?

We want to help children and family members heal from trauma, primarily through helping them develop a network of nurturing, loving and appropriately challenging relationships with people in their close and wider communities. Any small surplus we make from helping children in care will be diverted into work to help families stay together and thrive. You will join a team that strives to make this difference. You will help ensure the Charity keeps a strong focus on children and young peoples needs whilst being sustainability and ensuring the agency manages the risks associated with growth and investment in new services. 

Anything else...

We expect people to read papers and attend meetings of the Boards and committees.
