Trustee

What will you be doing?

With the support of the staff team and professional associates, trustees at IVAR are expected to:

- Set and maintain the strategy and values.
- Ensure IVAR complies at all times with its governing document, charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations.
- Maintain proper financial control and ensure IVAR applies its resources exclusively in pursuit of its charitable objects, as defined in the governing documents.
- Support the operational management of the charity.

In addition to these, each trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the Board reach sound decisions. Trustees are also actively encouraged to become involved in specific projects outside of board meetings, drawing on their own networks and experience to help support staff in their work.

What are we looking for?

We are particularly hoping to find people with: 
- Direct experience of working in the voluntary sector
- Confidence with numbers
- Expertise in the use and ethics of AI
- Expertise in influencing or campaigning 
- Networks in the public sector
- Experience of communications  

What difference will you make?

The Board is looking to appoint up to five trustees and we will be seeking a blend of skills, expertise and life experiences that complement its current make-up. We are looking for trustees who:
- Share an affinity with IVAR
- Will be proactive, enthusiastic and ambitious
- Have appetite to speak their mind
