The Network of Wellbeing (NOW) is looking for two new Trustees to guide and support the NOW team (above). We’re particularly keen to find someone to act as our Company Secretary and another to advise and guide the management of our staff and volunteers. Do you think you could help? If so, we’d love to hear from you. The roles are unpaid but immensely rewarding.
The Network of Wellbeing connects people, supports projects and inspires action for the wellbeing of people and the planet. We would love to bring on board two new Trustees who care passionately about our vision of people and the planet thriving together.
Trustees play an essential role in any charity and the Network of Wellbeing is no exception. Trustees are the supreme governing body in a charity. They determine its aims, its strategy and oversee all its operations. They are responsible in law for ensuring that it delivers its charitable objects.
Trustees also bring vital skills and experience to the charity’s management. We have reviewed the expertise and roles played by our existing Trustees – and found that they have strengths in business development, charity governance and environmental sustainability, to name but a few. They use their knowledge – and their wisdom – to guide the staff and inform key strategic decisions – and our existing Trustees gain a deep sense of joy and fulfilment from the role they play.
We are now looking for two new Trustees to complement and strengthen our existing Board. We are especially keen to find:
- someone to be our Company Secretary: This person will be responsible for:
- advising Trustees and the Director on corporate governance and financial management;
- overseeing the preparation of agendas and the taking of accurate minutes;
- keeping up to date with regulatory or statutory changes and policies that might affect us;
- liaising with our auditors, Companies House and the Charities Commission.
- someone to advise on and guide the management of our team of staff and volunteers. This would include:
- advising Trustees and the Director on all matters relating to the management of staff and volunteers;
- ensuring we have an up to date suite of policies and procedures;
- guiding the management of the staff, including on pay, to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Trustees have the opportunity to use their skills and experience to help others and to further a cause they are passionate about – something wellbeing experts argue is key to living a meaningful life.
The commitment is four two-hour meetings per year – three of which meetings which are held online. We also like our Trustees to come and see us annually (in Devon) in person at least once.
We are committed to diversity, fairness and inclusion – and to building wellbeing together for everyone. We’re therefore keen to diversify our existing Trustee group to ensure it more broadly reflects the diversity of people in the UK. With that in mind, we’d welcome applications from people from a range of different backgrounds and experiences.
Could you be a Trustee of the Network of Wellbeing? If you are interested, please see here for the role profile and details on how to apply.
All applications will be considered by a panel of Trustees with advice from the Director.
To connect people, support projects and inspire action for the wellbeing of people and the planet.
