Bring your skills and experience to help ensure that the very best support is provided for the mums and children who attend our project.
We believe all children have the right to a secure, safe place to play, healthy food, engaged, informed parents, and access to support, no matter what their family circumstances.
The Magpie Project provides a safe and fun place for mums and pre-school children suffering in temporary or insecure accommodation.
What will you be doing?
The Magpie Project is looking for a new trustee to join our board. Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that Magpie achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that Magpie has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable the charity to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission. Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Average time commitment of 3-8 hours a month.
What are we looking for?
· Experience in HR, Immigration, Homelessness, VAWG charity sectors, or law welcome.
· A level of fluency in written and spoken English to engage with meetings and documents.
· Prior experience of charity governance is not necessary for this role and training will be provided.
We are keen to hear from those whose background and experience resonates with that of the women we support; applicants from a West African, Middle Eastern, Albanian heritage and those with experience of forced migration or homelessness.
We are also currently recruiting for a Chair. If you have not held a Chair role before but are interested in doing so, we are open to you joining as a Trustee in the first instance and the current Chair will support you to step up into the Chair role over an agreed period of time.
What difference will you make?
“Being a trustee at The Magpie Project brings skills and experience to the charity that enables us to support the staff and volunteers and ensure that the very best support is provided for the mums and children who attend the project. Trustees bring guidance, governance and support to the staff, they create a well-governed charity that makes everyone feel safe. Really though the difference the role makes is to the trustees themselves. We get to give a small amount of our time and skills to the warmest, most inspiring, and wonderful group of mums, children, volunteers, and staff and become part of the unique Magpie family. The charity provides a safe place where everyone is heard and their stories believed and valued, people from across the world come together in a way that can only be described by experiencing it. Being a part of that restores my faith in human kindness and strength, so the real benefit is to me and my fellow trustees.”

- A strong advocate for our mission to help local families thrive.

Why join us?
Young people and adults with disabilities, neurodivergence and disadvantage are 3 times less likely than anyone else to have a paid job.
This has a huge impact on every aspect of an adult’s life. It is well-evidenced that young people and adults who are unemployed are more likely to live in poverty, lack confidence and self-worth and feel isolated from friends and family.
Depending on the disability you live with, the situation is even worse. Just 1 in 20 adults living with a learning disability and just 3 in 50 adults living with a mental health challenge have a paid job.
The disability/neurodivergence employment gap is harmful and unfair. It’s also fixable. Over 20 years of experience shows us that young people and adults with disabilities are able to find and stay in work with the right help. Employers benefit too.
Everyone at Ways into Work is passionate about supporting people with disabilities, neurodivergence and disadvantage to find the right job for them, secure paid employment and sustain their job with our help.
Why now is the right time to join us
This is an exciting time to join us as earlier this year we converted to a charity (from a CIC). As we look to the future, we are seeking to build on the expertise we have established over the last 20 years.
To date we have relied heavily on contracts from local government. The need to diversify our income base, to support more clients into employment and to provide a more secure future for our clients, fed into our decision to become a charity.
We are looking to recruit Trustees who have worked in charities, or who bring particular expertise, to provide a strategic steer in delivering our core purpose. In the months ahead we will be looking to revise our strategy, recruit new roles and put in place the infrastructure needed to begin to make our core purpose available to more of those in need in Berkshire and the Thames Valley. You would have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping these processes, bringing us closer to delivering the support we know our clients need.
Trustee Role Description
As a Trustee, you will play a crucial role in setting the strategic direction of the charity and ensuring good governance. You will contribute to ensuring that the charity fulfils its mission, operates effectively, and remains accountable to its clients - adults and young people living with disabilities and neurodiversity.
Duties:
- Support and provide advice on achieving Ways into Work’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
- Review and approve operational strategies, policies and recommendations, and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
- Act as ambassador for Ways into Work, promoting our work and building networks of interested parties who are enthusiastic about our work.
- Other Duties as are listed in the Candidate Pack
About you:
You do not need to have previous experience of acting as a Trustee, although we are interested in some of our new Trustees having charity experience. We are looking for you to bring the personal skills and qualities outlined in the Candidate Pack, and we would welcome expertise in one these areas: Communications, HR, Charity Law, Fundraising, Community and other disciplines appropriate for our core purpose.
We would greatly value experience of acting at a senior level (such as in a ‘Head of’ role) as you will need to be comfortable sharing your expertise with the wider Board, and offering support and constructive challenge to our new senior recruits and senior leadership team.
We recognise the enormous value of lived experience. We know that there is no ‘us’ and ‘them’. Many in Ways into Work live with disabilities or neurodiversity and/or have wider lived experiences that offer huge value to the work we deliver.
Please read the attached Candidate Pack before submitting your application. You can access this when you click the 'Apply' button.
Please submit your CV and a Cover Letter that outlines your experience in charities, the expertise you are offering and two other points that you believe will be of interest to Ways into Work.
Our mission is to get as many people with disabilities, neurodivergence and disadvantage in Berkshire into sustained paid employment, as possible.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
