Fundraising Volunteer Roles

We’re BrightPIP, and we’re looking for our next trustees.

Do you share our view that every baby deserves to grow up feeling safe, secure, and loved? Do you understand how charities work? Are you good at leading small teams? 

About BrightPIP and Our Vision
Brighton Parent Infant Psychological Therapy (BrightPIP) is a small, local charity that provides intensive support to expectant parents and those with babies under the age of three. We are rooted in our community and responsive and connected to our families and referrers. Our standards are informed by clinical excellence so that we provide highly effective interventions that are tailored to each family. We are deeply commmitted to service development that is shaped by the community we serve. 

Our trustees play a big part in helping us realise and achieve our strategic objectives and meet the needs of those we’re committed to supporting: babies and their young families. As we enter our second decade, we’re now recruiting a new Chair and other trustees to support our growth and development we enter an exciting next chapter.

We are looking for someone with experience of leading an organisation, who knows the charity sector and understands charity governance. Experience of being a Chair is ideal but not essential.

So, if you’re interested in changing the world, one baby at a time (starting in Brighton and Hove, and East Sussex), we’d love to receive your application.

To apply, please send a CV and a cover letter setting out your interest in the position (maximum two pages).

The closing date for applications is 12pm on Friday 8 November.

Face to face interviews will be held on: Wednesday 13 November (afternoon) and Wednesday 20 November (morning). We are also offering limited virtual interview slots for those unable to attend in person on: Wednesday 20 November 6-8pm.

*Please indicate any time you cannot attend in your cover letter.

BrightPIP is fully committed to ensuring a diverse and inclusive workforce. We particularly welcome applicants with lived experience of any of the issues we are seeking to address in our work: parent infant attachment, early years intervention, or amelioration of mental health or Adverse Childhood Experiences. 

The Children’s Book Project is a rapidly growing charity set up to tackle book poverty nationwide and to improve the social, emotional and educational outcomes of young people across the UK.  We seek an energetic and supportive new Chair for our next phase of growth.

Overview of the role

This role is all about people, and one of the incredible benefits of volunteering in any role in Scouts, but even more so as County Lead Volunteer, is the teams of people you get to work with. You will inherit an incredible team of dedicated people leading Scouting in Cornwall, from District Lead Volunteers who manage Scouting on a local level, to the people delivering high quality training for our Scout Leaders. As County Lead Volunteer you get to inspire, motivate, shape and develop this team, building friendships and establishing a sense of camaraderie focused around our mission for young people.

As a County Lead Volunteer you will be able to really develop and hone your leadership skills by managing teams of remote volunteers across the breadth of Cornwall. Leading and managing volunteers provides so much more opportunity and experiences than with employees, what you can gain by doing this really well can be a great asset for your professional life as well as in Scouts. The issues and challenges that you find ways to tackle will stretch you as an individual and as a leader and you’ll find yourself discovering new things that you are capable of achieving.

If you get a kick out of seeing things happen, achieving success and making a positive impact to a wide audience then the County Lead Volunteer role definitely provides all of that. In this role you will get to see the difference that Scouts makes to so many young people’s lives across a large area, helping them develop skills for life, fostering friendships and providing so many incredible and unforgettable experiences.

Application process

You can apply for the role yourself using the application form, or nominate someone else using the nomination form.

We welcome partnership or small team applications where you feel you could take a Team/Partnership approach to managing the County Lead Volunteer role/function. Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss this as a potential option.   

Nominated people are under no commitment to apply unless they wish to. 

A search group has been put together to oversee this process and will review all applications and nominations in order to make decisions as to who to invite to attend the selection stage of this process.

At the end of the application form, we also ask applicants to please fill out our Diversity Monitoring Form. You will be automatically directed to this.

The Trustees are the governing body of MAP and are, collectively and personally, ultimately responsible for all the charity’s activities. MAP is a company limited by guarantee, so the Trustees are also the legal Directors of the charitable company.

Trustees are responsible for providing appropriate oversight, governance and strategic leadership to MAP in the pursuit of its charitable purposes.

MAP particularly welcomes applications from people with one or more of the following:

· Palestinian heritage or lived experience in the occupied Palestinian territories.

· Professional medical or clinical expertise, particularly in the contexts of international development and/or conflict.

· High-level experience in advocacy, campaigns and communications.

· Contribute actively to the Board’s role in giving strategic direction, setting overall policy, defining objectives and setting targets.

· Keep informed about the activities of MAP and wider issues which affect its work.

· Participate in the appointment of the CEO and other staff as appropriate.

Board Activities

· Participate fully in the work of the Board.

· Participate in Board induction, training and evaluation, individually or as a member of the Board, as appropriate.

· Attend Board and applicable sub-committee meetings, and read the papers provided in advance of the meetings.

· Participate in individual and Board performance appraisals, and attend any additional training recommended as a result of the evaluation process.

· Uphold the highest standards of integrity and probity.

Person Specification

Skills and Abilities

· Has prior governance experience at board level or equivalent, which may be in the charity, public or private sectors.

· Ability to think strategically.

Terms and Conditions

Duration

The Trustee will be appointed to serve for an initial term of three years. At the end of the initial term, the Trustee will be eligible to be re-appointed for up to two further three-year terms.

Location

There are no requirements regarding a Trustee’s location. MAP’s head office is in Central London. Trustees are encouraged to attend meetings in person, but if this is not possible, videoconference facilities are provided.

Remuneration

The role of the Trustee is a voluntary one and is therefore unpaid. However, MAP will reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in the course of their duties.

Time Commitment

Immediately following an appointment, MAP will agree on a personalised induction plan. The time commitment for this plan will depend partly on the Trustee’s prior knowledge and experience.

MAP hold a minimum of four board meetings a year, conducted on a hybrid basis as noted above. These normally last between three and four hours including a break. There is usually also one full-day session per year dedicated to strategic planning, for which attendance in person is highly desirable.

The Trustee will be expected to join one of the sub-committees of the board. Sub-committee meetings are also held four times a year, on a hybrid basis, and normally last around two hours.

In addition to preparing for and attending meetings, the Trustee will be expected to participate in routine governance activities such as training, appraisals, and recruitment or exit interviews.

Ordinarily, the above commitments would entail between one and two days per month. Applicants are advised that, since the events of October 2023, MAP’s activities have expanded enormously and some of the current Trustees have been contributing significantly more time than this.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 17th November 2024.
