Help children as Trustee of an innovative Tees Valley Charity that supports children in care through family help, fostering and a planned residential provision. Join an agency that transforms children's lives.
Overview
You will sit on the quality & audit or finance committee. We want to help children and family members heal from trauma, primarily through helping them develop a network of nurturing, loving and appropriately challenging relationships with people in their close and wider communities. Any small surplus we make from helping children in care will be diverted into work to help families stay together and thrive. You will join a team that strives to make this difference. You will help ensure the Charity keeps a strong focus on children and young people’s needs whilst being sustainable and ensuring the agency manages the risks associated with growth and investment in new services.
What are we looking for?
At this time we are specifically looking for Trustees with some of these areas of skills or experience:
- Management experience
- Business
- Finance
- Service quality and development
- Audit and risk management
- Remote
What will you be doing?
You will join us at an exciting time as we pursue growth of fostering and residential services, as well as growth of our early help offer. You will have a particular focus on either ensuring governance of quality, audit and risk (including service performance and general compliance) or finance through the appropriate committee. You will provide support and challenge to the management team. You’ll contribute 2 to 6 hours a month. The Charity board meets every 8 weeks (shifting to quarterly after September) and committees every 6 to 12 weeks depending on which. You’ll join a Charity that’s brought £millions of investment into Tees Valley and that helps over 1000 local people a year. We’ve been runners up at the national Charity Governance Awards and “community” winners at the Hartlepool Business Awards. We are looking for experienced professionals who share our values and want to help.
