Dorset Race Equality Council is a unique Charity serving the areas of Dorset, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. We support individuals, communities and institutions in challenging racism and promoting equality - come and join us!

What will you be doing?

We are a small Charity with four paid staff and a dedicated group of Trustees who are keen to attract new members to help us to run the organization effectively and to meet new challenges as need is identified.

The Trustee Board is seeking to bring additional skill in the management, strategic development and financial management areas in particular. We recognize that both commitment to the objects of the Charity and specific skills and experience are needed at this time.

We have the vision of strong, safe and sustainable communities in Dorset in which diversity and fairness are valued and people of all races, ethnicities and religions have equal opportunities and live free from discrimination and prejudice.

What are we looking for?

A new Trustee will ideally have some knowledge of the Charity Sector, but crucially will bring experience gained through working in the fields of financial management, strategic development and planning or general management.  We are developing as a volunteer team of Trustees, supported by advice and information from organizations and individuals. You may have just the skills that we need at this time to complement our current group of Trustees.

What difference will you make?

This is a vital role, helping ensure we can continue our support for the diverse communities within Dorset. As a trustee, you will have a real opportunity to offer your unique skill set to help the strategic progression of the charity and to change the lives of individuals and communities.
