- Location: Groundwork UK. Suite B2, The Walker Building, 58 Oxford Street, Birmingham, B5 5NR
Applications close on Monday 10th November.
Who we are
Groundwork stands at the intersection of people, places and planet, creating practical solutions that tackle hardship, advance environmental justice, and build community resilience. For over four decades, we have been bringing together public and private resources to support communities in addressing their most pressing social and environmental challenges.
As the national body of a federation of 14 independent Groundwork Trusts across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Groundwork UK plays a vital coordinating role. We manage national programmes, secure resources for local delivery, and build relationships with funders and policymakers that benefit the entire network.
Our work spans from helping people reduce energy bills and find green jobs, to creating community hubs where neighbours can connect and access support, to distributing grants that enable local groups to improve their neighbourhoods. Last year, we helped the federation access over £100 million in funding and distribute £50 million in grants, supporting 12,000 community organisations and helping 60,000 people to reduce their energy and water bills.
What makes Groundwork distinctive is our integrated approach. Rather than treating social, economic and environmental challenges as separate issues, we recognise that they are deeply interconnected. A programme that creates green jobs both tackles unemployment and advances climate goals. A community garden project improves local food access, brings neighbours together, and enhances biodiversity. This holistic perspective, combined with our deep roots in local communities and our track record of effective partnership building, positions us uniquely to contribute to the just transition our society needs.
About the role
We are seeking two exceptional individuals to strengthen our governance structure at a time of significant opportunity and change.
- Trustee and Chair of Programmes & Partnerships Committee
This role combines membership of our Federation Board with chairing one of our key committees. The Programmes & Partnerships Committee oversees Groundwork UK’s work to increase our visibility and credibility, build national relationships with government, business and charitable funders, and manage programmes that add value to local delivery while directly supporting communities through grants.
This position requires someone who can navigate the complex dynamics of our federated structure while providing strategic oversight of our national income generation, communications and programme management activities.
- Co-opted Finance & Risk Committee Member
This specialised role focuses on the systems and processes that underpin everything we do at Groundwork UK.
We need someone who understands the strategic risks and opportunities associated with data utilisation, digital technology, AI and management information systems, particularly in the context of public sector transformation. This isn’t about developing systems, but about governing them effectively and helping us maximise benefits and minimise risks. The role may develop into full board membership should the individual also wish to join the Federation Board as a Trustee.
Who we are looking for
For the Trustee and Chair of Programmes & Partnerships Committee, we need someone with senior experience in voluntary sector fundraising, income generation, communications or campaigning. You will have worked at a strategic level in a charity or similar organisation, understanding the complexities of building relationships with diverse funders, from government departments to major foundations to corporate partners. Your experience might include developing or overseeing funding strategies, managing stakeholder relationships, overseeing communications campaigns, or leading programme development initiatives.
For the Co-opted Finance & Risk Committee Member position, we are looking for someone with experience of systems management in complex organisational environments, potentially in the public sector or with experience in organisations serving public purposes. You might be someone who has worked in transformation, IT management, service digitisation, AI or similar contexts where systems must serve both internal efficiency needs and external public access requirements.
You don’t need to be a technology specialist, but you should understand the governance challenges that arise. This includes cybersecurity risks, data protection obligations, business continuity planning, and the challenge of making informed decisions about technology investments.
Both roles require individuals who are invested in Groundwork’s mission of creating a fair and green future where people, places and nature thrive. You should be someone who can see the connections between social and environmental challenges and who believes in the power of community-led solutions.
- Time Commitment
Both roles operate on a quarterly meeting cycle, with board meetings and committee meetings alternating throughout the year. For the Trustee and Chair of Programmes & Partnerships Committee, this typically involves attending four Federation Board meetings and four committee meetings annually, plus preparation time and occasional ad hoc consultations. We estimate this at the equivalent of up to a day a month.
For the Co-opted Finance & Risk Committee Member position, the commitment would initially be lighter, focused on quarterly committee meetings with associated preparation. This could grow if you choose to take on board membership and attend the Federation Board meetings which are held quarterly.
We meet during weekday daytimes, alternating between in-person sessions in Birmingham and online meetings.

iTraceiT
iTraceiT provides a blockchain and QR-code-based platform to document and verify the ethical and sustainable journey of products, from raw material to finished good. It addresses the lack of transparency in global supply chains, especially in the luxury sector, where companies struggle to substantiate their ESG claims and ensure ethical sourcing.
The lack of traceability leads to issues like unfair labor conditions, gender inequality, and greenwashing. iTraceiT tackles this by recording every transaction and transformation, empowering brands and governments to prove where materials come from and under what social and environmental conditions.
The solution enables fair compensation and recognition for artisanal miners and small producers, supports country-of-origin initiatives in places like Angola and South Africa, and generates verifiable due-diligence reports. By bridging technology and ethics, iTraceiT helps build a more transparent, equitable, and sustainable global trade ecosystem.
