Directors/Trustees take responsibility for overseeing the strategic direction of the Trust. They determine the Trust’s vision and values; its strategic and financial plan; annual objectives and targets for the Trust and will monitor progress against them. They ensure that the Trust fulfils its statutory and legal obligations, including the approval of key policy documents. They appoint the CEO and set arrangements for performance management. The Board of Directors/Trustees is a vital role within the Trust.
You will be required to attend 5 x Board meetings per year plus other ad-hoc meetings as required. The role is voluntary, all reasonable expenses in accordance with the Trustees and Governors Expenses Policy; including travel and childcare may be reimbursed.
The role of a Trust member is extremely important, overseeing the achievement and objectives of the Trust and aspects of its governance. The role of a Trust Member is one step removed from that of a Director/Trustee. While Trust Members have a ‘hands off’ role, they are crucial in maintaining an overview of the effectiveness of the trust structure and holding the Directors/Trustees to account.
You will be required to attend 2 meetings per year. The role is voluntary, all reasonable expenses in accordance with the Trustees and Governors Expenses Policy; including travel and childcare may be reimbursed.
