Trustee Recruitment Pack - Flipbook - Page 15
ARE YOU WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR?
It is important to us that within our Board of Trustees we have the vision, passion, capacity and skills needed to
oversee the delivery of our mission as we strive for outstanding social impact in the fields of environmental
justice, community resilience and business responsibility.
As part of the natural process of regularly refreshing our Board of Trustees we are now seeking to appoint new
Trustees to help with our work.
We are seeking people who share our vision and values and who want to make a difference to communities
across the North West, and we are focused on having more diverse experiences, skills and voices around our
Board table.
We value passion and enthusiasm for our work above all else; we encourage applications from people with
lived experience of the issues effecting the sustainability of our communities; and we are committed to being
influenced by a wide and diverse range of voices and experiences.
We are also keen to hear from people who may be able to bring a local knowledge of the places where we
work, as well as people who may have an interest or experience within key sectors such as: local government,
housing, public health, community development, social enterprise, heritage, employability, regeneration,
diversity & inclusion.
We are also interested in hearing from people who may have skills within key business functions such as
governance, finance and investment, communications, technology, HR or property/facilities.
We are especially interested in applications from women, people with disabilities, young people, and people
from black and minority ethnic backgrounds.
Experience of serving on – or working with - a Board is not necessary, and a full induction and training will be
provided.
