What we are looking for
As a small charity we have a committed and enthusiastic team of employees and volunteers on the ground who work to support our young people and their carers. As Roots looks to expand its work and programmes, we are seeking to enhance our board in order to embed a new strategic plan and provide support to the growing number of employees.
We are specifically interested in trustees who have experience in any of the following areas to strengthen our existing skills set.
-
Finance, accounts and budgets
-
Campaigning
-
Change Management
-
Comms and Marketing
-
Legislation in relation to the organisation's work and charitable status.
-
Monitoring and evaluating performance
-
Health and Safety
We are particularly keen this time to recruit Trustees with relevant lived experience, such as care leavers and kinship carers.
We also encourage applications from young, disabled or Welsh speakers, and people that live in Swansea and the surrounding areas, as these groups are currently under represented on our Board. The ability to speak Welsh is desirable but not essential.
We are also particularly interested in recruiting a Treasurer. As the organisation grows and receives more funding, it is important that we have a Trustee experienced in financial management, who can oversee the accounts and budgets as well as advising on the financial implications of the new strategic plan.
Role on Trustee board:
-
To oversee the strategic development and growth of the charity in line with its aims and objectives.
-
To support events and be an active and contributing member of the trustee board and its activities.
-
To take the lead in agreed areas, working with sub groups that could include employees and feedback to the wider board.
Commitment required:
We meet as a Board every two months, usually on a Tuesday at 5pm for 2 hours. The Trustees will be provided with the relevant papers in advance of meetings, preparation and reading for the meeting usually takes about an hour.
There is an expectation that Trustees are available for 80% of these meetings (ie 5 per year) and to undertake agreed tasks outside of these times. The monthly commitment is approximately 6 hours per month, including meetings and meeting preparation.
The Trustees also meet twice a year in person at Roots, usually in the spring for half a day and autumn for a full day.
We are seeking Trustees that will also be visible and engage in activities at certain times of the year, for example celebrating successes, supporting activities such as trips with young people and be public facing where agreed to promote the organisation. One Trustee per month is expected to visit Roots, for visibility and to help support the staff and young people.
Accessibility
Should you require any reasonable adjustments for this role, to make it more accessible, please let us know.
Reimbursement / allowance entitlement.
Trustees will be entitled to mileage allowance and other reasonable expenses to attend meetings in person and take part in agreed activities.
We will provide induction and ongoing training. Due to the nature of our work with young people, an enhanced DBS check is required for this role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

It is expected that all Trustees will be able to attend our Trustee meetings in Ashford, which are held at least once a quarter, as well as the AGM and ideally a small number of other functions eg fundraising events.

Excellent communication skills.
Willingness to commit sufficient time to the Trustee role.

Why you should Apply:
You will be using your skills, knowledge and experience to help ensure Ashford & Tenterden Umbrella continues to be an important part of the local community, providing mental health and social support. Although this is a voluntary position, reasonable out of pocket expenses will be paid.
