We need volunteers who have expertise in facilities development and building maintenance to help us make the most of our properties, owned and rented, and maintain high levels of compliance, health and safety and sustainability.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate person, ideally with a background in Facilities Management, Infrastructure, Health & Safety or Mechanical and Engineering Services, who could devote their time as a trustee to support us in developing our key facilities that are so critical to our charity.
Alongside passing on your expertise, this opportunity will give you the chance to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives. You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental, alongside fellow trustees, in the running of the Branch and setting out both the short and long term aims.
Primary responsibilities of the Branch Trustee – Facilities & building development
Core Branch Trustee responsibilities
We are committed to creating a Board which is representative of our society and in particular, our community and surrounding areas so encourage people from any background to apply for any of our opportunities. To enhance the diversity of our board we would very much like to hear from ethnic minorities, disabled people and marginalised groups.
Alongside experience working professionally in the facility/building development sector, someone with a solid background in facilities management or mechanical & electrical services would be welcomed but is not essential for the role. A professional qualification such as RICS or similar would be appreciated, but is not essential.
You will need to be able to work with people and have good interpersonal skills. You do not need to be an expert although commitment, common sense, and the ability to be objective are vital.
