Are you passionate about animal welfare? Are you a leader & good at getting things done? Can you align people around a mission, analyse information, make good decisions? Then you can be our next Trustee.
Trustees manage the charity. Like any organisation we get involved in people, finance and legal topics, making strategies and monitoring our progress. As a Trustee you will be a full and equal member of our leadership team, deciding what we focus on, how we raise and spend money, organising events, working as a team to improve animal welfare in our community.
The Board of Trustees meets every month to update each other and make decisions. Beyond that you may be helping to organise fundraising events, assessing which projects to support, tracking progress on animal welfare programs, working with local vets to offer more support out of hours, or making sure our volunteers are well managed and motivated.
We are a Branch which is restarting, so there is a lot to do and we have a lot of freedom to make choices. You will be part of the decision making process and may lead specific projects. You will hold the organisation accountable, ensure compliance and be an ambassador, promoting the good work we do and encouraging our teams to continue their efforts to support animal welfare.
You may be an experienced Trustee or new to the role (we can help with training). You will have leadership experience gained in any sector and a passion for animal welfare. You will bring the ability to lead people, motivate teams and manage change. You will be able to understand complex topics, ask logical questions and be willing to hold an organisation accountable for fulfilling its responsibilities. You will be willing to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into the details, make decisions and speak up.
Diversity is our strength. We support every type of animal and we seek every type of person, who wants to work with like minded people to improve animal welfare. We are a team, we support each other and learn from each other, and we want to work with you. We want your skills and motivation and your ability and ambition to get things done. Together we can make a real difference.
You will be a full part of the team leading this charity. Your voice will be heard and you will help guide the charity and decide its direction. You’ll have the opportunity to be part of a dynamic team, build something new and really make your mark, while developing your own skills or passing them on to others. Together we can make a huge impact on animal welfare in our community.
