Job opportunity at Headway Bath and District - Trustee Previous Job Next Job Headway Bath & District - a brain injury charity is appealing for volunteers to join their brand-new board of trustees and help support some of the most vulnerable people in society. Carla Snell at Headway Bath & District said: “We are entering an exciting new chapter and are now in the novel position of being able to recruit an entire board of trustees! This is a pivotal moment for the charity; we can’t wait to get started with building our new board and making positive steps forward." “The role of trustee is a voluntary one and as a member of the board you will play a vital role in guiding the vision of the charity, whilst seeing the direct impact you have on the lives of those affected by brain injury.” The charity is keen to hear from people with a background in business, fundraising, commissioning, public relations, marketing, social media, finance, social care, and with clinical experience in the field of brain injury. However, those with other skills that would complement its boards are also encouraged to apply. “There is often a lot of confusion around what it means to be a trustee.” Carla continued. “Many people think they are not experienced enough, old enough or skilled enough to take on this role, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Headway Bath welcomes both experienced trustees and people who are interested in becoming one for the first time.” “We are looking for people with a diverse range of skills and experiences who could really help make a difference to the lives of those with brain injury. We want to bring in committed professionals with lots of passion, enthusiasm, and new ideas.” “Trustees are in the unique position to really blaze a trail and it’s a very important and creative role.” Those applying to be trustees should expect to attend either monthly or bi-monthly board meetings, and local networking/promotional events. Trustees should also expect to occasionally visit the day services to meet clients, staff, and volunteers. Trustees must be aged 18 and over. Trustees will be offered support, training, and networking opportunities through Headway’s national and local networks.

We facilitate the creative and purposeful recovery of children, young people, young adults and parents/ carers who have experienced trauma. We are a highly specialised therapy centre offering 1:1 creative, trauma recovery psychotherapy alongside parent/carer support groups. How the TRC started… The TRC started when Betsy de Thierry, Founder and Chair of the Trustees of the Trauma Recovery Centre, had a dream of the building as a trauma centre helping many families who had no one to support them in the aftermath of a traumatic experience. Using over 20 years of experience and knowledge built up working as a teacher and therapist in a number of organisations and delivering training to professionals about complex trauma in many different organisations and charities, Betsy founded and set up the Trauma Recovery Centre (TRC) in May 2011. Since then, Betsy has worked to build a core a team of professionals to fulfil the vision of the TRC; to see people restored from trauma and she now supports the charity as Chair of the Trustees. As a charity we do hold Christian values, and yet we value diversity and enjoy working with people from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds and those of faith or no faith. We are very grateful to the church who host the large HQ of the TRC, Freedom Centre UK. They also provided seed funding for the TRC to start and continue to support the charity financially. The TRC is now well established with excellent, highly specialised staff and is able to run due the overwhelming generosity of grant makers, businesses and individuals who support the charity.

We facilitate the creative and purposeful recovery of children, young people, young adults and parents/ carers who have experienced trauma.
