This drives everything that we do and motivates every single person engaged with our organisation. We lead, support and connect people and partners across our brilliant city-region to enable Active Lives for All, uniting communities and creating more equal and inclusive places so that people can lead happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.

We are seeking to appoint a new Trustee to further strengthen our Board.

We are particularly interested in recruiting individuals who possess knowledge, skills, and/or experience within the public sector and wider government ecosystem. Specific areas of interest include:

· Political and administrative structures: Understanding how government bodies operate and shape public policy development.

· Public sector investment bodies: Insight into funding mechanisms and process at central, regional and devolved levels.

· Government funding policies: Knowledge of policies and priorities that guide public funding and decision making.

· Public affairs: Knowledge of the best approaches to influence public policy and decision-making processes.

· Landscape and positioning: Navigating and understanding the political environment and spotting opportunities.

· Networks: Connections to relevant teams, individuals, and decision makers.

Additionally, the successful candidate will be asked to sit on our Audit and Risk Committee. Therefore, the following knowledge, skills, and/or experience would be desirable:

· Governance, regulation and compliance: Knowledge of the rules and standards that guide charities.

· Risk management and mitigation: Identifying and addressing potential risks.

· Financial processes: Supporting financial processes and strategic financial decision making.

We are a values-led organisation guided by passion, integrity and purpose. We recognise and embrace the benefits of having an inclusive and diverse Board and see increasing diversity and inclusivity at Board level as an essential element to achieve our stated aims and objectives.

As an organisation we believe we should be reflective of the people within our communities and as such we are looking to strengthen our already talented and committed Board by recruiting Trustees from underrepresented groups. Furthermore, applicants with no previous board experience, are encouraged to apply as we provide learning and development opportunities to support Trustees in their role.

If you are seeking a role that is inspirational, developmental and one which can make a difference to the lives of people in Greater Manchester, then we would love to hear from you.
