Who they are

To promote and encourage, for the benefit of the public, the improvement, protection, and preservation of the countryside of North and East Yorkshire, including its towns and villages, and the better development of the rural environment.

The role Introduction

Do you care about the future of the countryside in North and East Yorkshire? Do you have skills and experience in policy development in or for Local Authorities that you could bring to their work? CPRE North and East Yorkshire are looking for a Trustee and Local Authority Communications Lead to contribute to their important work protecting the beautiful local countryside and green spaces.

Who they are

CPRE campaigns nationally and locally for positive solutions that safeguard the long-term future of the precious countryside, which is facing multiple threats. At the national level, the charity produces in-depth research and sound arguments to press government, Parliament, and other decision-makers to support the countryside, be it national landscapes or much-loved local green spaces, through policies that ensure:

The right development in the right place

Active support to improve biodiversity

Countryside protection from climate change impacts and contribution to climate change solutions.

Here in North and East Yorkshire, the largest of the CPRE regions (6,900 square miles!), they have a successful track record of enabling residents and community groups to help shape development in ways that enrich the countryside around them. They also use their planning expertise to proactively campaign for local authority planning policies that safeguard and enhance the beautiful and varied landscapes.

The role

Their small but energetic team of volunteer Trustees enables people to protect the countryside they love and enjoy the benefits it brings wherever they live. But with your support, they can do even more! In joining them as a Trustee on the Board, you’ll have a general role in developing the charity in line with their strategy and, together with other Trustees, ensuring compliance with Charity Commission and other legal and governance regulations. However, additionally, as their Lead for Local Authority Communications, you will use your particular knowledge of policy development in this arena to inform and guide the Trustee Board on Local Authority campaigning and coordinate and drive forward related activities to meet agreed aims.

+Trustees initially serve a three-year term and may serve up to six years in total.

What they need and what’s in it for you

You don’t need to have prior Trustee experience, but they are looking for applicants with manager/senior-level experience in policy development in Local Authorities and/or as policy advisors to Local Authorities. By volunteering with them, you’ll be using what you know to help find positive solutions for the major issues facing the countryside and the environment, as well as being part of a group of people who share your passion for the countryside. Their friendly team will provide you with initial training and support to develop in your role. You’ll gain valuable skills and experience in charity governance and leadership.
