Closing Date: 30th June. Based: Regular meetings in Welshpool office and on-line

Are you a wise owl? A busy bee? An eager beaver? Do you have hawk eyes? If so, you might be just who we’re looking for to join our Trustees team and help us champion local wildlife.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and confident person to join our Board of Trustees.  

Our Trustees are the guardians of our charity, working together to ensure Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust fulfils its charitable activities and delivers on its vision, mission and values. They do this by steering its direction and overseeing the work of our CEO and staff. Our Trustees come together regularly to receive a report from the CEO, to discuss and agree issues of strategic importance and to ensure the charity is being run effectively. Meetings are held as hybrid sessions so Trustees can attend remotely, or in-person at our Welshpool headquarters

Our mission is to sustain biodiversity and encourage people to engage with their environment by becoming active and influential wildlife champions. Our vision is of people close to nature with land and seas rich in wildlife. We want to ensure that every person has the opportunity to experience wildlife in their daily lives.

At a time when we are experiencing the largest reforms to the welfare rights system in a generation, we believe this is an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in welfare rights work, to join a respected organisation working at the forefront of the advice sector.

The Welfare Benefits Unit offers specialist welfare benefits advice to those who work with members of the public. Our experienced advisers provide independent support through our advice line, publications, training, consultancy, campaigns and projects.

The Welfare Benefits Unit aims to maximise benefit take-up, helping to reduce the incidence and impact of poverty and in doing so improve health, well-being, financial and social inclusion. We are a registered charity based in York. We primarily operate in North Yorkshire and York although some of our services are accessed by organisations working further afield. 

We continue to aim towards a board that reflects the populations we work to support, and as such, welcome individuals from diverse ethnic communities, LGBTQIA+ groups, as well as younger people, those with disabilities, and those who have lived experience of the welfare benefits system.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience

• Financial, legal or HR matters (especially as they may apply to a small charity)
• Expertise in marketing, digital or similar technological areas

About the Role

All Trustee positions are voluntary with reasonable expenses remunerated. To be an effective Trustee, you will need to commit up to 1-2 days per quarter to attend and prepare for board meetings which are held virtually.

Effective Trustees support our work by:

• ensuring we are working towards our vision, mission and values in everything we do
• ensuring the effective and efficient use of resources, maintaining proper financial and regulatory oversight and best practice as a charity
• approving the annual budget, and supporting strategic decision-making by actively contributing advice and guidance
• appointing key personnel such as the Chief Executive, and determining pay and conditions for the wider team
