We are very keen to broaden the diversity and breadth of our Board of Trustees, in order to better represent all those who use or could use our services. The Trustees are a group of volunteers who are responsible for the good governance and strategic direction of the PPC. The centre is about to undergo a period of change due to a premises relocation.
We need enthusiastic and committed individuals who understand and appreciate our aims, objectives and values, and who want to contribute to the strategic development of the PPC, be involved in some of the day-to-day decision making, and be responsible for its paid employees, facilitators and volunteers.
All applicants will be considered, however we are particularly keen to recruit people with skills in any of the below:
- Finance and Accounting, Marketing, Outreach Work, Fundraising, Law
If interested, you will be invited to:
- An informal discussion with a current trustee
- Attend three monthly board meetings prior to formal invitation to become a Trustee
- Take part in projects of interest to you and your skillset.
As an elected Trustee, you will be invited to attend our Annual General Meeting, and monthly Trustee Meetings (which typically alternate between Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons).
Babes-in-arms are welcome at meetings and there is flexibility around other commitments. Childcare expenses can be covered for director’s activities.
For more information, or to apply (including a covering letter and CV) please contact:
