We are seeking new Trustees to join our board. You will be joining the charity at an exciting time in our journey. Established in 2019, we are celebrating our seventh year and have just adopted a new strategy. Over the last few years, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver significant impact for communities. We're about to start work making our new strategy happen.

By becoming a Trustee, you will help shape our future by sharing your experience and passion to drive our strategy.

The main responsibilities of a Trustee are to:

• oversee the strategic direction of the charity and support the CEO;
• use their expertise to help guide the process;
• ensure the organisation works within the law and in line with its governing document and policies;
• keep informed about the activities of the charity in order to maintain effective oversight;
• take a financial overview and ensure that the organisation’s finances are adequate and responsibly managed;
• promote the work and safeguard the reputation of Your Park Bristol and Bath.

Skills and experience needed

You do not need to have prior experience of being a Trustee or experience working with boards. We will provide training to fully induct you into the role and you will be buddied up with one of our longer standing trustees to support you in your first six months.

We need to improve the diversity of our team and our trustees. We need to be more representative of the communities we support, ensuring our work is informed by a broad range of perspectives and leading to better decision making. We’re particularly interested in receiving applications from people who are from global majority backgrounds, Disabled people, unpaid carers and people from low-income households.

We are currently looking for trustees with public health and legal expertise.
