We are looking for three Trustees to broaden the diversity and skill set of our experienced and established board – please read on to find out more about this exciting opportunity. 

Why become a Trustee?

There are probably as many reasons as there are trees in the UK, but here are a few:

  • You will contribute towards creating healthier and happier communities for everyone. 
  • You will gain or develop your experience of playing a non-executive but influential role in a UK wide Charity. 
  • You will enjoy debating issues and problem-solving with a diverse group of committed enthusiasts: your fellow Board members and employees.

The role

TCV is an ambitious organisation seeking exceptional candidates to join a board that works to connect people to green spaces that form a vital part of any healthy, happy community. 

Candidates will ideally have experience of working with government and public bodies on both local and national affairs and will be able to help advance and develop TCV’s interests at all levels of public and private life. In general, you will have an interest in the community, environmental and cultural diversity sectors, and the highest standards of ethical conduct and corporate governance. Previous board experience is essential, whether on commercial or not-for-profit boards.

Experience and/or qualifications are required in the following areas to complement the diverse skill set of our current board:

  • Land management/construction/housebuilding
  • Legal experience and/or qualified 
  • Fundraising and marketing 
  • Digital/communication technologies

As a UK wide charity, we would like to know what region or country you have experience of working in. We would be particularly interested in candidates from Northern Ireland to join our team and complement the experience of our board.

In undertaking the role, you will be working with a loyal and committed team and will set the charity on a pathway that enables it to continue to create healthy and happy communities.

We are keen for our Board to reflect the diversity of the communities that we work in, therefore we encourage applications from all backgrounds.

How to Apply

Please submit a letter of no more than 2 A4 pages in length explaining why the role excites and interests you, what you would bring to TCV and how you fit our person specification, along with a short CV to Janet Willmot, [email protected], PA to the Leadership Team by 12th July 2019.

We anticipate interviews for this role will take place during late July.
