[1] This is an occupational requirement of the role.

Founded in 1963, we operate as an independent charity with a vision to make a real difference to people’s lives by improving the quality of mathematics education and learning.

We have always had a well-established and well-respected board, and in the last twelve months we have recruited several new board members to support MEI’s continued development through their wisdom, passion, and expertise. We are a friendly, supportive, and very committed team. MEI’s head office is in Trowbridge, in beautiful Wiltshire. Our team of mathematics education experts works from home, spread across England. Our dedicated staff of around 70 employees and our 10 board members make effective use of online technology to collaborate – never more so than this year.

MEI’s origins were in working to ensure mathematics education was relevant to equipping people to use mathematics effectively in their everyday lives and work. Much has changed in society since MEI was founded and mathematics education has never been more important. Our commitment to make a positive difference to people’s lives through mathematics education and learning remains as strong as ever.

Our links with students have generally been through their teachers, but the rapid changes in society and the way that people engage with knowledge and learning mean that we need to deepen our understanding of the needs and perspectives of students. The young trustee role is a new role on the MEI board that will help us to do this. It is only one part of a number of activities with this aim. We would expect the young trustee to help support these developments.

The Board of Trustees is looking forward to having a young trustee within our team, and benefiting from the contributions and experience of the successful candidate. This will not be a ‘token’ position. The successful candidate will have the same influence, responsibilities, and liabilities as any other trustee. In turn, we commit to provide the support, training and development that you, and indeed all new trustees, need to undertake this role. As our pioneer young trustee, you will be able to help us shape the role and the way we work so that we harness your experience and wisdom at a critical stage as we drive forward our developing ambitions for the future.

If you think you have what it takes to bring a new perspective, and you are passionate about the development of the next generation, we would love to have you on board

MEI is committed to promoting and ensuring equality and valuing diversity. We will not discriminate unlawfully in any aspect of employment and want MEI to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds, especially from underrepresented groups, including people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

Trustee

London

Share your expertise as a Trustee of London’s most vibrant community for adopters

We Are Family (WAF) is an adoption community group providing opportunities for adoptive and prospective adoptive parents to meet and share experiences of parenthood. We strongly believe in and advocate supporting the parent to support the child. We also pride ourselves on being a parent to parent group offering not advice but a shared experience.

We have recently been successful in securing some substantial grants to help develop our capacity and sustainability, and to provide online services specifically tailored to the needs of our community in the current context.

We have now established a team of two members of staff to drive this work and provide a platform for the Trustees to lead WAF to an exciting new level.

We are looking to strengthen and enhance our board of trustees with new skills and ideas. We want to appoint new board members to help consolidate and broaden our influence and capacity to provide support for adoptive parents.

In particular we are seeking trustees with experience in one or more of the following areas:

professional experience of working with or in the adoption sector, preferably at a senior level;

• Information Technology and/or Digital Media;
• Human Resources;
• a qualified lawyer;
• a qualified or part qualified accountant with experience of financial management in any commercial or not-for-profit organisation.

Although many of our current trustees are adopters themselves, we are also keen to recruit suitably qualified people who are not, but who can demonstrate a commitment to the values and mission of WAF.

One of the great strengths of We Are Family is that it is volunteer and member driven, and that it represents a diverse community across London. We particularly welcome trustees from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds to ensure that the board can benefit from this diversity of experience. We would also welcome single adopters to the board.

Board meetings currently take place six times a year – currently these are conducted remotely but longer term we aim for at least four of these to involve attendance in person. Trustees are also expected to serve on at least one Board committee and will need to be able to do around 10 hours of work per month. The normal term of appointment for a trustee is three years.

If the opportunity to join an exciting, rapidly growing new charity appeals to you as someone able to make a valuable contribution, please send your CV and a covering e-mail setting out why you would like to join us and how you meet the requirements set out above to us via the link.

Closing date for applications is 15th November 2020.

Founded in 1963, we operate as an independent charity with a vision to make a real difference to people’s lives by improving the quality of mathematics education and learning.

We are passionate about mathematics and mathematics education, and the users of our services are at the centre of what we do. We offer professional development for teachers and innovative resources for teachers and students, and are recognised national experts in mathematics curriculum development. We find our work hugely rewarding and stimulating, and our innovative and collaborative work with a range of partners, including government, enables us to deliver flagship mathematics education development programmes for teachers, as well as informing national policy. We run some government contracts, in partnership with others, where we believe they are consistent with our charitable objects. We also promote innovation through ground-breaking development work and awareness raising.

We work at the forefront of innovation in education. To maintain and build on this innovation and leadership we hope to work with a wider range of donors who share our aspirations for improved maths education for everyone. The fundraising trustee is a new role to help us steer this new ambition.

If you have the experience to support us, and you are passionate about the development of the next generation, we would love to have you on board!

• To safeguard the good name and values of the organisation.
• To ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.

• have a broad range of business and financial skills and experience;
• be able to contribute strategically on a wide range of issues;
• take collective responsibility for the direction of the organisation, be good at working in teams, and able to be effective in a complex organisational environment where significant cross-boundary collaboration and partnership are essential.
• In addition to these generic duties and responsibilities, the specific responsibilities of the fundraising trustee will entail the following:
  • To have a substantial background in either a corporate giving/CSR or fund/foundation management role, or as a senior charity fundraiser with a sound understanding and experience of charity fundraising at strategic and operational levels.
  • Bring overall leadership and drive as the Fundraising Trustee, supporting the development and overall governance of MEI’s fundraising and related communications strategy, working closely with the CEO and Trustee for Finance.
  • To ensure that there is the right breadth and depth of fundraising and related communications skills within MEI and the Board of Trustees, with access to the right networks, in order that the charity is in the best possible position to develop and deliver high quality strategies in fundraising and related communications.
  • To be an active member of the Finance, Audit and Risk (FAR) Committee, ensuring that fundraising and related communications strategies are aligned to the wider budget strategy.
