Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

Do you want to serve with an experienced board of trustees, and use your experience and knowledge to enhance the work of a charity providing activities and learning for adults with LD and Autism in Cambridgeshire?

What will you be doing?

We are looking for individuals to join Red2Green's board of trustees, who would bring with them up-to-date knowledge that will widen the understanding of our current board.

We have an experienced board, and would be open to welcoming someone who is looking for their first trustee position to gain experience in the governance of an organisation, acquiring an oversight of all functions including strategy, finance and budgeting, action planning, marketing, staffing issues and pay, and much more! We would also be open to someone with other trustee experience.

You may have a particular motivation for wanting to work with a disability charity, or you may just want to give something to the community. We don't mind. Our experience tells us that once you join Red2Green you won't want to leave.

We offer the option of 'hybrid' board meetings so the work can be undertaken remotely, although we would like you to be able to visit our barns occasionally.

What are we looking for?

We will consider a variety of experiences, and in particular, seek anyone with a background in any of the following:

  • Corporate Relationships
  • Grant Fundraising
  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Legal
  • Adult Health and Social Care
  • Lived experiences related to adults with learning disabilities or autism
  • Education (especially additional needs)

We are are a Disability Confident Committed Employer, and would welcome anyone with disabilities to join our board of trustees.

What difference will you make?

As part of our board, you will support and shape our work and strategic direction, as well as help us achieve our purpose to provide a high-quality service that supports those with Learning Disabilities and Autism.

Please apply through Reach in the first instance, and then we will be in contact for a chat with the Chair of Trustees or CEO.
