Trustee

Third Solutions are proud and excited to be working in partnership with The Kingsbury Charity to recruit a new Trustee.

The trustees play a vital role in making sure that the Kingsbury Charity achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that the Kingsbury Charity has a clear strategy and that their work and goals are in line with their vision.
