UKMT seek a skilled professional with experience in: evaluating impact; developing digital transformation strategies; charity law and governance; or fundraising and charity finance.
All UKMT volunteers, including Trustees, are encouraged to serve a minimum of three years. Trustees normally serve between three and six years.
The Board of Trustees currently meets four times a year with meetings lasting for two to three hours. Some meetings are in person (usually London or Leeds); some are online. You will also be invited to attend UKMT events to gain a good understanding of the activities of the Trust. Training (for example in Safeguarding) and induction will be provided.
In addition to preparing for and attending Board meetings, Trustees participate in email discussions from time to time throughout the year. The time commitment required will vary but is not likely to exceed 5 hours in a single month.
Many Trustees choose to volunteer in other aspects of the UKMT, for example, serving on Board Committees or setting and marking problems.
All Trustees are invited to attend our Annual General Meeting, which usually takes place in London on the Wednesday immediately before Easter Sunday.

More information about Trustees’ responsibilities can be found on the Government website.
