We are seeking to appoint two new Governors to the Local Governing Body of Pebsham Primary Academy. Whilst meetings can take place virtually, Governors will need to be available to visit the school at least three times during the year during school hours.

Who we are

Pebsham Primary Academy is a one form entry primary school in Bexhill. It joined TKAT, a Multi-Academy Trust, in January 2014. The TKAT Board of Trustees has appointed a Local Governing Board which is responsible for ensuring the Academy’s long term vision reflects the needs of its community beyond current post holders and in line with TKAT’s vision and values.

The role

​We, the Governors, are a diverse group of people from a range of backgrounds, including education, human resource management, retail work, legal work and finance. We aim to use our skills to support the school so that we attain our vision of a school where every child can shine. We are not paid, but can claim expenses for some activities.

We meet as a Local Governing Body, independent of the TKAT Board of Directors, but accountable to TKAT for everything we do, and our main functions are to set the strategic direction for the Academy and to hold its leadership to account.

We visit the school regularly to monitor its progress and we ask challenging questions to ensure that the school is meeting the needs of all the children and providing an education that will enthuse and inspire them. We regularly speak to children, parents and staff to find out their views.

Being a school governor is a rewarding and fulfilling role; helping to provide a suitable, safe, and exciting environment for learning is critical to giving every child the chance they deserve.

YOUR COMMITMENT

With our Head Office based in Walton on Thames, Surrey, our charity offers practical and emotional support to families across the Borough of Elmbridge who are struggling to cope for a variety of reasons. We’re there for parents when they need us the most, because childhood can’t wait.

The role of Trustee is an important one – bringing the requiredgovernance and strategic guidance that every charity needs to run successfully and ethically. Home-Start Elmbridge Trustees typically attend a two-hour Board meeting every six weeks and provide strategic and governance support as and when required. We currently have six Trustees plus a Chairperson and would like to increase this to a minimum of eight Trustees.  

We'd welcome applications from people whose professional and lived experiences have the potential to provide insight, oversight and governance to our charity. Areas of experience which would be particularly useful to the Board include Fundraising, Event Management and Human Resources. However, we are also open to applications from people with different skills sets and professional backgrounds.

The most important attribute that a Trustee can bring to our Board is a passion for improving the lives of children. The role of Trustee is a voluntary one and as such is rewarded by knowing that the time and commitment you bring to the Board directly results in more families getting the vital support they need, so they stand the best chance of providing a nurturing and safe home for their children.  

If you feel that that you could offer your time and expertise to the Home-Start Elmbridge Board and would like to find out more about the Trustee role, please get in touch with our Chair, Kathy Clark, to arrange a short telephone conversation.

One25 Trustees 

One25 began in 1995 in response to the unmet needs of women who were street sex-working in Bristol. Over the last 29 years we have learnt much about working with this marginalised group. One25 is still the only organisation specifically for street sex-working women in the city.

From May 2023 - April 2024, we provided vital services for 260 women. Of the women we supported:

• 36 exited street sex work 
• 213 were healthier 
• 127 were safer 
• 104 were connected to the specialist services they needed 

We work with some of Bristol’s most marginalised women, supporting them to move from crisis and trauma to independence in the community. Wherever they are in their journeys, we give love and practical support, without judgement or expectation.

Women’s needs have become more complex, so our work is more important than ever. The impact we make as a charity saves lives.

About the role

This is an important time to join the Board as we work to deliver our strategic goals and continue to focus on the positive steps One25 can take to increase and diversify income to sustain our vital work. Being a Trustee is an excellent way to develop your skills and can be a fascinating and rewarding experience.

“As a Trustee and Treasurer, being able to play a small part in One25’s development and successes over the past 5 years has been hugely rewarding and fulfilling. I will be looking to pass the baton onto a new treasurer in the future and am so grateful for the experiences and relationships that have enriched my time as a Trustee.”

Our new Trustees will be joining a talented Board, working alongside an inspiring CEO and senior management team, and our dedicated colleagues and volunteers. You will be able to connect with staff and gain insight into our work with the women.

You will attend four two-hour board meetings and four 1.5-hour committee meetings a year, plus two annual away days with our staff team and senior management team. There will be an additional time commitment to review meeting papers which are circulated in advance of board and committee meetings. 

This is a voluntary role, and we are able to reimburse expenses. 

We are seeking new Trustees for specific roles, but also welcome applications for other areas of skill and expertise:

• Finance expertise (who will succeed our current Treasurer after a period of induction)
• HR expertise (who will also benefit from an induction with our current HR lead)

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion 

The organisation and the Board are committed to learning around ED&I and are dedicated to a continuous process of challenging ourselves to increase inclusivity across every area of our work with the women and within our internal systems. We welcome and encourage applications from all sections of society and from those with the potential to make great Trustees. We particularly welcome applications from people from ethnic minority, LGBTQ and disability groups, and those who have lived experience of multiple disadvantage as these groups are currently underrepresented on our board. We also welcome applications from first-time Trustees.

We are looking for a confident, friendly, organised person to join Citizens Advice Test Valley. We are looking for new trustees to work at Citizens Advice Test Valley. We are a well-established charity - we work hard as team to help the community of Test Valley and are supported by a small team of trustees. 

Trustees are volunteers who are expected to use their skills, knowledge and experience to help guide and govern. They work with the Chief Officer and other staff to shape strategy and give direction.

• Securing money to meet current and new demands, and that all funds are used responsibly.

No specific qualifications are required to be a trustee. We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and experience who are passionate about advice services and can bring innovative ideas, unique perspectives and good judgement.

We welcome diversity and people from all backgrounds.
