Job opportunity at VOICES - CHAIR OF TRUSTEES Previous Job Next Job Welcome from the current co-Chairs and VOICES Team Dear Potential Colleague, We are delighted to introduce our charity to you and hope that you will take time to think about whether you are the right person to join us as our Chair of Trustees on the next stage of our journey. VOICES was founded in 2014 in Bath by four women with lived experience of domestic abuse (DA), who found that beyond crisis interventions there was minimal support for those who had experienced abuse on their recovery journey. Their voices were not listened to, they had to keep telling the same story to numerous agencies that were not joined-up and no-one seemed to be focused on their overall well-being and recovery or that of their children. They understood that societal stigma and judgement about domestic abuse and how it impacts on an individual and their identity, added to feelings of isolation and guilt. It was time for something to change – and they made it change by creating VOICES, a survivor-led, trauma-informed and recovery focused charity for the women of Bath and North East Somerset and surrounding areas. VOICES is now recognised nationally as offering the ‘gold standard’ in support – both through the way in which it delivers holistic services for women and in ensuring that the voice of lived experience is included in policy development (justice, DA services) and research. The twin objectives of direct service provision and national influencing are core to the Charity’s ethos. VOICES is funded by charitable donations, government grants, and awards from Trusts and Foundations. At this time none of its domestic violence services is yet commissioned by the Local Authority. One of our founders became our CEO and led VOICES for ten years. She has now stepped down and her replacement joined us in April 2024. With a new CEO in post and an experienced Board this is an exciting time to join VOICES. We need to find the right person to take on the Chair of Trustees role on a permanent basis. We are seeking someone with the values, passion and skills to support the CEO in safeguarding the central ethos of the charity and building upon it so that we are even stronger and more capable. The voices of lived experience of domestic abuse are at the heart of all we do. Our approach is strengths-based, person-centred, recovery-focused and trauma informed. We subscribe to the No Them and Us approach. We believe that an understanding of the long-term impacts of trauma and injustice/re-traumatisation through systemic or professional responses is essential for effective and long-term recovery. VOICES uses a trauma informed approach in all of its work with clients, staff, trustees and volunteers, and advocates for the same in other similar response services, be it in health, legal services or the justice system. VOICES is based in Bath. Our working environment is one of mutual respect and compassion. The wellbeing of all our staff and volunteers is of the utmost importance. VOICES strives to provide a working environment that is supportive of staff and will seek to understand and recognise other personal responsibilities any individual has outside their working life in agreeing working patterns and hours. The Charity is flexible and inclusive. We are actively seeking to increase the diversity of our Board and persons with diversity of experience, circumstance and background are encouraged to apply. Details of the role and the attributes we need in our next Chair of Trustees can be found below. If you believe you have the qualities we have described, please take a look. Recruitment is being handled within the charity. For more information please contact joanna@voicescharity.org or helen@voicescharity.org . Or to arrange an informal discussion about the Charity with the CEO prior to applying contact emily@voicescharity.org The closing date for applications is 28th June 2024. Best wishes Joanna Hole and Helen Wehner (co-Chairs) About VOICES VOICES provides direct services to those who have experienced domestic abuse and seeks to ensure that the voice of lived experience is recognised as a powerful source of expertise within policy formulation and research. Primarily VOICES works with women; however, it will respond to all individuals making contact for support. VOICES is committed to ensuring that everyone regardless of personal circumstances, age, race, sexuality, belief, disability or residential status has access to services that meet their needs without stigma or judgement.

Courage, personal strength and resilience in dealing with issues that may be difficult, distressing and/or frustrating. An excellent facilitator, who can make everyone feel confident and safe enough to share their views, challenge the views of others, and then reach a joint decision. The ability to chair meetings. This includes planning the agenda, ensuring balanced input from all members, ensuring clarity about decisions and actions agreed, and following up to make sure agreed actions are carried out in line with Board decisions. A commitment to Equality, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EEDI) and trauma informed practice. In addition, the following would be of benefit but not essential: Current knowledge of DA policy, practices and culture and how these affect partner relationships and charity impact.

However, trustees are entitled to have their expenses met from the funds of the charity. Time Commitment The position of Chair of Trustees is not a management post and the Chair of Trustees should not be involved in operational leadership and decisions. However, the Chair of Trustees is likely to be in touch with the CEO on a regular basis providing support to them in their leadership and also with individual trustees, particularly sub-group Chairs. It is difficult to define a time commitment but this role should take no more than the equivalent of half a working day (3.5 hours) a week , although this will vary with the Board schedule and not be consistent.

Job opportunity at Avon Wildlife Trust - Beaver Field Officer Previous Job Next Job Are you interested in helping our wild beaver populations to thrive? Could you talk tactfully and confidently to a landowner about the incredible, positive impacts beavers can have on our landscape? And do you have honed GIS skills which you’re keen to apply to help restore nature across our region? Then we’re looking for you! The Bristol Avon catchment has a large population of wild beavers, a result of unlicensed release(s), which we think took place sometime around 2020. In 2022, a Natural England survey identified 13 separate territories, and a possible population of 50 adult beavers across the area. Unlike managed beaver enclosures and licensed wild releases (which were only permitted since Feb 2025), our beaver population has been growing without structured management or support. In April 2025 Avon Wildlife Trust launched a vital new project – the Beaver Advice and Support Team (Bristol Avon & Somerset Frome). We’re working across the region to upskill and inform a range of stakeholders – from Farm Advisors, Ecologists and Planning Authorities to farmers, landowners and land managers – about living alongside the beaver population to ensure they thrive.

You will be tasked with collecting, analysing and presenting high quality data on the wild beaver populations living across our river catchments.
