Opportunity to join the Young Roots Charity Board of Trustees

Young Roots are recruiting new trustees to join our Board. We are particularly interested in recruiting trustees with knowledge and experience of:

-       Youth Work and/or Youth Participation

-       Governance, with a willingness to act as Company Secretary.

Opportunity to be a trustee

This is a great opportunity to join a charity delivering vital services to young refugees and asylum seekers. You can apply to be a Trustee (g=generalist), Youth Work Trustee or a Governance Trustee. While trustees can have distinct areas of responsibility, all trustees are responsible for ensuring the charity fulfils its charitable purposes, and for helping to take strategic and financial decisions.

All Trustees

We are looking for trustees with:

·       Enthusiasm for Young Roots’ vision and mission.

·       Ability and willingness to work in line with our values.

·       Willingness to commit time and energy to this voluntary role.

·       Good, independent judgment.

·       Ability to think strategically and creatively.

·       Ability to scrutinise Young Roots’ performance, including its financial performance.

·       Ability to work effectively as a member of a team.

·       Accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.

Previous board/trustee experience is not necessary, as training will be provided.
