Then when I was furloughed in 2020 and volunteered at a local food bank I started to come to the realisation that, as well as front line volunteering, my considerable strategic skills could be useful in the third sector.\r\n\r\nI then worked at Getting On Board, a trustee recruitment and diversity charity (until it sadly closed in 2024). This role was brilliantly fortuitous and it set me on the path to trusteeship. I gained my first trusteeship a few months later; this November marks my fifth anniversary as a trustee of a literacy charity.\r\n\r\nI would have loved to know more about trusteeship when I worked in the commercial sector, but I had no clear idea of what it involved or even how I might find out.\r\n\r\n[button text=\"Discover trustee vacancies\" url=\" https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/volunteer-jobs\/?source=nav&amp;jobtitle=trustee\" style=\"blue-outline\" size=\"large\" align=\"center\" new_window=\u201d1\u2033]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"You don\u2019t need \u2018special\u2019 skills to be a trustee","content":"<h2><strong>You don\u2019t need \u2018special\u2019 skills to be a trustee<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nBoth in my former role as Getting on Board\u2019s Communications Director and still now in my everyday life, I\u2019m on a mission to demystify trusteeship for 'ordinary folk'. There\u2019s not a single social setting where I won\u2019t start jabbering about how brilliant being a trustee is. I\u2019m happy to say I\u2019ve converted quite a few people (though if I\u2019m honest, a few people have fled in the opposite direction at parties!).\r\n\r\nIf you already work in the charity sector you probably have at least a hazy idea about what trusteeship is, but I\u2019m willing to guess that for many charity workers it still feels out of reach. Trusteeship often feels like something that other people with \u2018special\u2019 skills can mysteriously attain but which remains out of reach for ordinary folk.\r\n\r\nBut here\u2019s the secret: you don't need to be a paid-up club member of the great and the good to be a trustee\u2014in fact you're often a better trustee if you aren't. Don\u2019t ever be held back from applying for a trustee role you\u2019d love to do because you think your CV isn\u2019t long and illustrious.\r\n\r\nThe question of who can be a charity trustee is less about experience and more about values. So instead, focus on whether you have these three important values that are the cornerstone of being a good trustee.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-11039 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/onboarding-young-trustees.jpg\" alt=\"young trustees working on a project round a table\" width=\"1410\" height=\"941\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Important values for being a trustee","content":"<h2><strong>Important values for being a trustee<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><strong>Curiosity<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe old adage of \u2018no such thing as a stupid question\u2019 is never truer than in a boardroom. So much of what happens on boards is because \u2018we\u2019ve always done it that way\u2019. Sometimes just asking \u2018why\u2019 is the best way to usher new thinking.\r\n<h3><strong>Dedication<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nTrusteeship is a volunteer role but it\u2019s still work. Approach it with the same level of commitment as you would a paid job, not a sometime hobby. People are depending on you bringing your \u2018A\u2019 game, so choosing a cause or a purpose you're passionate about makes it all the more likely you\u2019ll turn it out.\r\n<h3><strong>Humility<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\u2018A very thin skin stretched over a very large ego\u2019 was how a colleague once described a Very Important Person in our acquaintance. There\u2019s no place for that in a boardroom. Conflict is sometimes necessary to get the best result in a discussion, but when trustees approach it with humility rather than ego, the charity reaps the benefit.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13847\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1345349068_edit.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman shaking hands with someone in an office while a man watches, smiling\" width=\"2101\" height=\"1124\" \/>\r\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Diversity is important on boards of trustees","content":"<h2><strong>Diversity is important on boards of trustees<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nBeing a trustee is one of the best things I've done. Working in the third sector has been useful for that, but often it's the other strands of my wiggly career path that has flowed through roles in comms, schools and journalism that really add value. And I\u2019ve gained much in return. Trusteeship has been brilliant for building my leadership skills and strengthening my strategic thinking.\r\n\r\nCharities need\u2014and benefit from\u2014diverse trustees. That means more people with a wider range of skills, knowledge and lived experience than are currently represented on boards.\r\n\r\nSo, who can be a charity trustee? The answer is almost anyone. So it's definitely worth taking a closer look\u2014whatever your day job!
