Policy Research Volunteer Roles
The Infection Prevention Society are recruiting a number of voluntary positions to join our Board of Trustees
Our charity is about to begin a period of transformational change. We are in the process of recruiting our first staff-team, and are now looking for additional Trustees to join and work with the Board of Trustees and support our new six-strong team (which will include a CEO).
We are an organisation our new Trustees will be proud to be a part of. Our current Board of Trustees are excited for our future and our members are supportive of the changes to the Society’s management structure. For the past year we have worked closely with our Interim Managing Director and our members, Branches, Special Interest Groups and Business Groups to develop our new strategy - Working together to prevent infection.
The aim of the Infection Prevention Society (IPS) is to inform, promote and sustain evidence-based infection prevention policy and practice to create a health and care system where no person's health and wellbeing is harmed by preventable infection.
Our broad membership includes infection control practitioners, scientists, clinicians and industry experts and we support our members via branches across the UK and Ireland. We deliver educational opportunities to support best practice in infection prevention and control through an annual conference, study days, our academic journal, and research activity. We support our members with a competency framework and credentialing system, international engagement opportunities and product evaluation services for industry.
The Infection Prevention Society has an independent Board of Trustees who are responsible for governance and risk management functions of the society. These include developing long-term strategy, assuring financial stability and compliance with governing documents, and evaluating performance. The Board works with the Management Executive Group (MEG) who are responsible for leading and managing the business activity of the Society.
What are we looking for?
Our new trustees will have skills in one or more of the following areas:
· Strategic leadership
· Charity governance
· Corporate law
· Marketing
· Income generation (such as fundraising from Trusts and Foundation, Corporate partnerships and or educational resources and events)
As a Trustee you will be able to contribute to the work of the society by:
· Shaping the strategic direction
· Making decisions that enhance its influence
· Assuring good governance of the society
We are looking for applicants who really want to make a positive impact on our organisation. They should have strategic vision and good judgement, an ability to think creatively, and willingness to contribute opinions and ideas. A willingness to challenge is also desirable. An understanding of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship is desirable although Trustees induction and training would be available. Previous experience as a Trustee is also desirable but not essential. Although the trustee positions are unpaid, reasonable expenses will be reimbursed. Trustees induction and training would be available.
The Board of Trustees hold a minimum of four meetings per year and trustees are also expected to attend the Annual General meeting which is held in the autumn.
The IPS values all people as individuals. We aim to be an anti-discriminatory organisation and are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We are inclusive and we believe diversity of thought will help us to achieve our strategy to Work together to prevent infection. We welcome applicants from all groups, in particular those who are internationally educated, and represent the global majority.

ParaPride is an empowerment charity that advocates for the visibility, education and awareness of LGBTQ+ disabled people. We are a non-profit grassroots organisation focusing on the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+. We're entirely run by volunteers and our lived experiences stand at the core of our charity values.
We endeavour to meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities through a variety of complementary activities including:
-
Creating education and awareness around the need for greater visibility of the communities we serve within the wider LGBTQ+ and disabled communities;
-
Creating and promoting online and offline activities and events to foster understanding of the experience of being LGBTQ+ and disabled people and to bring the communities we serve together;
-
Working with other organisations to further educate and expose the wider public to the challenges faced by the communities we serve and opportunities that are presented when including them; and,

As a relatively new charity, we will be developing our approach over the next couple of years to further our charitable objects and to serve the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities in the most effective way.
About the role
After several years of relying on the efforts from our Co-Founders, Trustees and temporary volunteers we are looking to take the next step in our growth journey through the placement of our first volunteer recruiter.
This role will work closely with Daniele, ParaPride’s Co-founder and Community Engagement Director and the Board of Trustees to identify the skills and capacity required to run the organisation and sourcing candidates to meet them. It will also play a crucial role in developing Parapride’s volunteer benefits package and talent acquisition strategy.
We are expecting that the roles that this role will be involved in hiring will initially be focused on supporting ParaPride’s core operations (marketing, events and web development) but could include placements in finance, legal, compliance and HR in the future.
Duties

-
Support in the development of a benefits package to support in the acquisition of volunteers (non-salaried).
We will also welcome any additional suggestions for how you might wish to apply your skills to support ParaPride in its mission.
The impact you will have

We strongly welcome candidates that have lived experiences of being disabled and/or LGBTQ+, although this not an explicit requirement
Level of commitment
We are a growing charity and while it is our goal to provide financial compensation for this role in the future, we are unable to initially. In full transparency, this is only an indication of our ambition and will be dependent on a lot of factors linked to appropriate funding. Please do not apply at this time if this is a primary motivator for you, we hope to have more suitable roles for you in time to come.
