Trustees - Campaign For National Parks

Would you like to make a difference for the National Parks of England and Wales?

Campaign For National Parks new strategy launched last year with three goals: better, equal and more National Parks, and we are explicit that securing reforms to address the inequalities in who visits, lives in and governs National Parks is a central plank of our ongoing and future work programme.

We are looking for two new trustees who share our passion for the work we do and who can help us ensure that National Parks are representative, inclusive and relevant to the nation today.

 

Trustee opportunities

We welcome candidates who can bring passion and commitment to our vision, with one or both of the following:

  • Experience in working with underrepresented communities, championing social justice, and/or working with organisations to progress in action on antiracism, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
  • Commitment to EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) and lived experience or an appreciation of the challenges faced by people who are under-represented in National Parks. For example, young people, those from low income or ethnically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQ+, or who are living with a disability.
  • New Board members will be offered a full induction and we do not require previous experience as a board member to apply for Trustee roles.

 

How to apply

Eastside People is supporting Campaign for National Parks in the recruitment of these roles. Please ensure you read the Trustee Recruitment Pack before applying.

Our goal is to remove bias from the hiring process so for the first stage of the process, we are asking skill-based questions which will allow us to assess your approach to a problem and understand the knowledge and skills you can bring to the Board. Your answers will be anonymised, reviewed and scored by the selection panel. Please note that your responses should not exceed 250 words per question. You can save your application and return to it later if you wish. We will use the scores from the questions to shortlist for interviews, at which stage we will also review CV’s.

 

If you have any queries on this application process or would like clarification about any aspect of the roles, please contact Bernice Rook at Eastside People.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability, and potential. Please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustments so that we can help with making the application process work for you.

 

The closing date for applications is Friday 6th December. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held in early Jan due to the break over the festive period.

 

Eastside People is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity and work with our clients to ensure that we recruit inclusively, seeking to address the underrepresentation of some groups of people in leadership teams. We warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
