Trustee (Commercial) in Bakewell

As a Trustee, you'll help shape the Foundation's next chapter. You'll guide strategy, champion the mission and ensure they're delivering lasting impact for nature and people. You'll join a passionate, collaborative Board, supporting a nimble, high-performing team that's already making a big difference on the ground. You don't need prior trustee experience – what matters most is your enthusiasm, curiosity and belief in the power of nature to connect and inspire. You'll receive a full induction and training.

Having just been through a successful round of Board recruitment, we're confident we now have robust representation from the charity and public sector, and are now looking for commercial and business skills to strengthen the Board's make-up. A deep love or connection to the Peak District is desirable, but not essential – you may simply have a strong passion to see our natural spaces protected for generations to come.

We're very happy to consider applications from those living outside the Park who can demonstrate their passion for protecting it (providing you're comfortable attending some Board meetings in-person, with expenses paid). We also want to emphasise that candidates from all backgrounds are warmly encouraged to apply – in particular, Black, Asian, and global majority candidates, disabled people, those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, younger candidates (under 40) and first-time trustees. We're looking for individuals who will culturally add to the organisation, rather than simply fit an existing mould.

This is your opportunity to share your time and expertise to make a meaningful impact on one of the UK's most iconic landscapes. Serving as a Trustee is a powerful way to show your support and help shape its future.

A short CV or profile is a great first step, but please also feel free to get in touch to receive a copy of the recruitment pack or an informal conversation. Our Regional Director, Amelia Lee, is leading on this opportunity.

Deadline: 9am on Friday 5th February, but please do get in touch ASAP if interested as we'd love to start conversations as soon as possible.

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
