About Access Academia
Access Academia is the charitable umbrella which was created out of the creation of the student-led publication, the Journal of Intersectional Social Justice. When Journal of Intersectional Social Justice (JISJ) was created, there were not any expectations for the project to be any more than that: a student-led academic publication. However, as it rolled on, attention for the project widened and it began to cover other topics and get involved in other realms of knowledge sharing, activism, and content creation. The creation of the seminal Access Series on the Intersections blog springboarded the idea for the JISJ to turn into something much more than a simple academic publication. Now as we have restructured the JISJ into Access Academia, we are finalising our official registration as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) in the UK.
Our core purpose is to Make Academia More Accessible. We plan to accomplish this by many different avenues, as obviously it is a very wide-ranging goal! The main ways we plan to do this are through encouraging Open Access academia and knowledge sharing through the Access Series, expanding the themes covered on Intersections with additions such as Mental Health Mondays and Colonialism in Subject, creating accessible content across our social media platforms which encourages truthful and accurate knowledge sharing and activism, running research events to encourage students to publish and interact with academia, covering inside stories of academia, running student engagement programmes to try and make academia less of an Ivory Tower, and much more!

Hours: 20 - 25 hours per year
Job type: Voluntary, minimum 3 years
Location: York, Hull, North & East Yorkshire
Closing Date: Monday 2nd June 2025, 9am
Interview Date(s): Tuesday 17th June 2025
Two Ridings is looking for up to five new trustees to contribute to our vision of thriving and connected communities across North and East Yorkshire.
As a trustee, you will be an active member of our board and participate in one of our board subcommittees (either the Grants Committee, Investment Committee or Finance & General Purposes Committee). Your involvement will play a role in shaping our direction, and you will be encouraged to attend events and initiatives to keep you engaged with the communities we serve.
Your hours will be between 20 – 25 hours per year covering 4 board meetings of 2-3 hours, plus 4 committee meetings of 2-3 hours. Additional activities can be taken on, as agreed.
We strive to be inclusive and a place where everyone can be themselves. We want our board to be reflective of the communities we support, and we know that we are missing some important voices around our table. We encourage applications from people with disabilities, people from global majority backgrounds, people who identify as LGBTQI and those living in Hull and the East Riding.
You may bring first-hand experience of the needs of community groups and the people they work alongside. You will understand the potential that can be unlocked by impactful and equitable funding and be passionate about ensuring that our work is relevant and catalytic, particularly among those communities who experience the greatest disadvantage.
If you have expertise in finance, investment, or charity governance, your skills could be invaluable to us, too. As a trustee, you will help shape our investment strategy and ensure that we are financially robust, compliant, and operating with the highest standards of governance. You will be part of a team that ensures charities like ours have the resources to make the biggest possible impact.
We are looking for trustees who can offer generous support to our Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team, but who are also not afraid to ask the tough questions and challenge us when necessary.
Above all, you will understand that people are at the heart of everything we do.
We would love to talk to you, even if you are uncertain if you are suitable or qualified.
What kind of person are we looking for?
- A passionate advocate for community action in Yorkshire, who understands the potential and needs of voluntary sector organisations, and wants to make a positive difference to people’s lives.
- A thoughtful, empathetic communicator, able to listen and engage in a broad range of settings with a variety of people.
- A strategic thinker with the ability to contribute to decision-making around long-term direction, business planning and business development, and financial oversight.
- A critical friend who can generously offer ideas, challenge and guidance to an experienced staff team.
Just so you know, Two Ridings Community Foundation is committed to improving the diversity of our workforce. We encourage and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds, particularly from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and Refugee, LGBTQ+ communities and/or disabled people who are currently under-represented within Two Ridings.
We are a Disability Confident Employer. This means that we are committed to the recruitment, progression and retention of disabled individuals. We shall also offer interviews to disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria for the job. If you have a disability, please tell us if you would like to be considered for an interview under the Disability Confident Scheme.
