Board Trustee in Newport

What is a Bethphage Trustee?

As a charity, we have a volunteer board of trustees who bring their own individual areas of expertise to benefit the organisation. Among the many skills they have are: financial management; charity governance; staff development; performance management; local government, disability service development and adult social care.

In 2019, our founder and former Trustee, Donna Werner was named our honorary president. Our Vision is of inclusive communities where all people have the opportunity to live the life they choose.

The role

The Trustees work closely with the executive management team (EMT) on the strategic direction of the business. They coordinate and attend quarterly board meetings, through which they review the work of the charity and provide advice, support and focus attention onto the areas that the EMT needs to consider and prepare for, to continuously improve what we do.

The Trustees work on a voluntary capacity for the benefit of the charity, this usually equates to one day per month. All Trustees are requested to undergo a DBS check (Disclosure & Barring service).

Currently, we are particularly interested in hearing from people with financial and/or legal experience and expertise.
