Charity Trustee in London

Education For All Morocco (EFA) was founded in 2007, with a vision to empower marginalized Moroccan girls and young women to fulfill their potential, by providing them with access to education, reducing social injustice and inequalities, so improving the quality of life for women, and their communities.

Our mission is to support established partners, adapt and \’re‐build\’ their post-earthquake service capacity for girls and young women, and new partners with complementary projects sharing the same vision.

Our partners include Association Education For All (AEFA), Association Pour La Scolarisation De La Jeune Fille Rurale (ASJFR), Centre Malaika and Dar Moustaqbal.

We welcome applications from individuals committed to advancing the education of marginalized girls and young women in Morocco—particularly members of the Moroccan diaspora or those with lived experience of Morocco.

Marketing / CommunicationsWe are seeking a highly connected and strategically experienced marketing / communications professional to join our Board, bringing senior‐level PR, communications, and marketing expertise to help elevate EFA Morocco\’s profile and reach.

Support to:

Provide strategic guidance and insight to help shape and refine EFA Morocco\’s marketing and communications approach, ensuring it supports the organisation\’s mission and ambitions for growth and increased impact across Morocco.

Advise on strengthening EFA\’s brand narrative, messaging, and value proposition for priority audiences, including professional philanthropists, foundations, corporate partners, international donors, government stakeholders, and the media.

Offer informed advice and oversight on the development and evolution of key communications assets, such as the website, donor and partner materials, presentations, reports, and selected digital content, ensuring consistency, quality, and alignment with EFA\’s strategic objectives.

Support, and where appropriate help steer, targeted PR, media engagement, and thought‐leadership opportunities to enhance EFA Morocco\’s national and international profile and credibility.

Leverage personal and professional networks, where appropriate, to help raise visibility, open doors, and strengthen relationships with senior stakeholders across philanthropic, corporate, media, and international development sectors.

Your leadership and judgement will be instrumental in positioning EFAM as a trusted, high‐impact organisation at the forefront of girls\’ and young women\’s education and empowerment in Morocco.

CommitmentWe encourage applications from any candidate who believes that they can strengthen EFA Morocco. Previous trustee experience is not a prerequisite requirement, and there is a detailed induction programme.

There are quarterly virtual meetings (90 minutes) which are scheduled in advance, PLUS there is an annual strategy day in London in late September / early October and an annual Program Visit from Friday – Sunday in Marrakech late April / May. Board meetings are conducted in English.

Trustees are expected to engage on an ad hoc basis when required, generally in relation to their areas of specialism. However, there is a strict divide between the work of trustees and EFAM\’s operational activities which are led by the Managing Director.

Education For All Morocco is committed to recruiting candidates who share our commitment to safeguarding and therefore we apply robust recruitment and selection procedures to all appointments. The successful candidate will be required to complete all safer recruitment procedures including appropriate DBS / ICPC checks or their equivalent.

The appointment is conditional upon the charity being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS Disclosure. Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the charity will be handled in accordance with relevant Rehabilitation of Offender guidance as published by the DBS. Although this role does not require a trustee to work in regulated activity, it is an offence for any person barred from working with children to apply for this post.

If you are interested and would like to discuss matters further before making a formal application please feel free to contact Samira El Hachioui (Managing Director) at samira@efamorocco.org or Nigel Taylor (Chair of Trustees EFA) nigel@efamorocco.org.

The recruitment process will be overseen by the Governance and Nominations Committee with candidates having the opportunity to meet the Managing Director and Chair of Trustees, followed by a second round of meetings with two / three additional trustees.

We anticipate interviews taking place in the 1st week of February with a formal recommendation being made to the board in early March 2026. The successful candidate would join the March quarterly meeting as an observer.

To make a formal application please email Maisie Bassingthwaite (Governance Manager) to request an application form at maisie@efamorocco.org.
