Trustees play a crucial and key role in the strategic direction and steering of Youth Mix, ensuring we are a fantastic youth-led organisation for young people aged 16 to 26 years old. Trustees will also ensure quality, stability and positive outcomes for both young people and our new charity as we continue our journey.
This is an exciting time for the Charity as we roll out our mentoring programme. Following strategic discussions, we are now looking to reinforce and enrich our Trustee Board to provide support and guidance to our Operational Team to enable them to achieve our ambitious 1 year and 3-year plans, whilst also ensuring robust succession plans in place for the Board.
We are particularly enthusiastic about fostering inclusivity within our Board. We actively encourage applications from ethnic minorities, young individuals seeking their inaugural board appointment (especially those aged between 18 & 26), and individuals of all ages with a commitment to empowering young people, including those aged 55 and above.
As Deputy Chair you will work closely with the Chair to facilitate and lead the board while working closely with the CEO, ensuring an effective and smooth-running charity with an active and fully engaged Board of Trustees.
