Trustee to the Board

Trustee to the Board

Closing Date - 30th November 2024

Enginuity is a charity and charitable group dedicated to finding new ways to close skills gaps in UK engineering and manufacturing, so that employers have the right skills to prosper, and the sector can continue to deliver innovative solutions to society’s greatest challenges.

Following the appointment of a new Group Chair earlier this year, Enginuity is now looking to strengthen its Board with the appointment of Trustees to the Board of Enginuity Group (covering both Enginuity and EAL).

EAL is one of two commercial subsidiaries of the charity and is a specialist Awarding Organisation and End Point Assessment Organisation for engineering and manufacturing. EAL supports the industry by providing high quality qualifications, assessments and skills solutions for educators and training providers.

Enginuity Skills is the charity’s other trading subsidiary and allows the charity to generate income from its products and services to third parties. Any surplus generated by the two subsidiaries is gift-aided to the charity for reinvestment into the sector.

As a charitable group, we work together to ensure that engineering and manufacturing employers have the right people with the right skills at the right time.

It’s an exciting time to join Enginuity as we invest in our business growth to enable the achievement of our ambitious business plans.

Appointment of Trustees

Working with the Chair, our Trustees are responsible for ensuring Enginuity pursues its stated charitable objectives, achieves its vision, mission and charitable goals and is compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements. Trustees act as guardians of the charity’s assets, both tangible and intangible; ensuring that Enginuity’s governance is of the highest standard.

You will hold a passion and knowledge for skills and the engineering and manufacturing sector, and an understanding of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship.

We are always looking for skills and experience to complement and strengthen the current skillset of the board, so would be particularly interested if you are an experienced Human Resources or Finance professional however, we are primarily looking for people who are passionate about the skills and the sector and can bring their energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role.

We are also very keen to work towards a more diverse Board of Trustees and equity, diversity and inclusion are integral to everything we do as we strive to make Enginuity an inclusive place to work. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities and are more than happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require.
