Chair of Trustees, Trustees, Independent Advisors

  • Location: Huddersfield
  • Salary: Unpaid
  • Closing date: 31 Jan 2019

Could you help us steer our course at a critical time in our development? We’re looking for people with a range of experience and expertise to join our Board as Chair of Trustees, as Trustees and as Independent Advisors to our subcommittees.

Trustees provide Forget Me Not with vital skills, expertise, experience and commitment essential to the effective management and future development of the charity. They are the guardians of everything we do, directing the strategy, overseeing our finances and ensuring the organisation stays within the law.

Trustees fulfil their duties as volunteers – it’s a great way to give something back and make a real difference to children and families in the local community.

So if you have experience in financial management, IT, fundraising, legal services or clinical/care service, or could help us navigate potential funding opportunities across the NHS, STP’s, CCG’s and Social Care – then we want to hear from you.
