TRUSTEE VACANCY FOR BERKSHIRE VISION
Berkshire Vision is a local charity with a 114-year heritage of supporting blind and visually impaired children and adults across the County, helping them to live their lives to the full. Did you know that 1 in 5 of us will experience sight loss in our lifetime?
With a growing service-user base, a committed team, and enthusiastic volunteers, this is an exciting time to join the Berkshire Vision Board. We are now seeking new people to join our charity as trustees on an unpaid basis. You don’t need prior experience as a Trustee. At Berkshire Vision, we are a close-knit team that supports each other, and all the necessary training and guidance about taking on a Trustee role will be provided.
We are hoping to attract committed individuals ideally with experience in one or more of the following areas; Sight Loss, Accountancy, income generation, NHS, HR, Safeguarding, Disability and/or Social care but all applications from other areas will be welcome. Whatever your background, if you are interested in helping to make a difference to local people with sight loss, we would love to hear from you.
As a Trustee you will attend 4 board meetings per year, providing strategic direction, guidance and support to the Senior Leadership Team. Depending on your expertise and available commitment there are additional sub-committees that meet about 4 times per year. Trustees have independent control over, and legal responsibility for, a charity’s management and administration. They play a very important role, in a sector that contributes significantly to our community. Trustees are also encouraged to support fundraising and awareness events.
Being a trustee is rewarding for many reasons - from a sense of making a difference to the lives of visually impaired people in Berkshire, to gaining new experiences and making new relationships.
You will have the opportunity to:
● Utilise your skills for the public benefit through the support of a leading regional sight loss charity.
● Deepen your understanding of charity management and governance.
● Support the achievements of Berkshire Vision’s charitable objectives, resulting in a visible difference for people with sight loss.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
