Company Secretary Weston Park Foundation (WPF)

About us

Who We Are

The Weston Park Foundation (WPF) is a charity governed by a Board of Trustees meeting twice yearly. The Foundation's assets run to many millions of pounds, with many of its treasures to be found within the House.  The Park is some 1,000 acres, including two Capability Brown landscapes.

WPF has a wholly owned and successful subsidiary, Weston Park Enterprises Ltd (WPEL), which trades at Weston: not just general tourism and visits, but a restaurant, cafe and an Art Gallery in the Granary, corporate hospitality, leisure and cultural tour residential stays in the House, major events in the Park, as well as six holiday rentals. 

Since its inception in 1986, the trustees have been able to restore the House and its possessions, the park, and the gardens to a condition not seen for centuries. Exciting new projects are in the pipeline aimed at increasing and diversifying income streams.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Weston Park is dedicated to operating in a socially responsible and sustainable manner. We understand the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance factors in delivering long-term value to our stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, and communities.

Our ESG policy serves as a framework to guide our actions, ensuring we integrate these principles into our business practices. We believe this approach will help us create lasting value and contribute to a sustainable future.

Special care is taken in reviewing meeting minutes to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the records.

- Advising on procedural matters, including the delegation of powers

- Drafting terms of reference for committees

- Defining internal cross charge arrangements

- Hearing rare appeals related to dismissals or other employment claims

- Assisting with periodic tenders for professional services

- Committing to the promotion of diversity, equality, and inclusion, while fostering a culture of respect, learning, and understanding.

Commitment

The role of Company Secretary is voluntary but the postholder will receive an annual honorarium of £7k. Travel expenses for attending meetings can be covered if necessary. There are two Trustee Board meetings annually (Audit Committee meetings are held during these Board meetings) and five Executive Committee meetings. Active participation in this Committee is essential for strategic planning and related activities.

Heartwood House is committed to equality of opportunity, supports, and encourages under-represented groups, and values diversity. We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, who will bring a fresh perspective to the Board, and having reviewed existing Trustee's diversity, skills, and experience, Heartwood House are keen for the Board to reflect the diversity of the communities that they work with and therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.

What will you be doing?

EcoCounts is a group of volunteers working together to embody EcoCore’s approach to the climate crisis. EcoCore covers a lot of ground because the climate and biodiversity crisis is so all-encompassing, which means we have a lot of varied and different volunteer tasks available, ranging from carbon footprint data collection, setting up sub-teams of friends or colleagues or doing social media or running workshops. 

Your responsibilities would be to create volunteer tasks from our work streams, which would include things like: 

• creating a role description for each volunteer task to give a good outline of everything required and expected

• keeping track of what volunteers are active on

• encouraging and inspiring volunteers to deliver on commitments

• creating an incentives or rewards framework for volunteers, potentially working with supporting businesses to agree on gift vouchers, tokens etc

• using our social media accounts to advertise, to celebrate achievements etc

• help other directors, trustees & secretary keep reporting, stats, and feedback on activities up-to-date

2. We’re looking for 20 coordinators

3. We have about a dozen volunteering roles to fill beyond the two above

What are we looking for?

1. You should be a people-person with experience of managing people. You should be happy to put in the time and effort communicating with the volunteers both all-together and individually in a way that gets the best results from them.

2. Personal change is only one of the five ways that we can change society - we don't focus on personal change alone, we want to change our community, our local businesses and our local government.

3. You should check out our manifesto on the About page to make sure you agree with the ways we advocate for the way forward in the climate crisis – are you happy what we suggest is one of the best approaches?

What difference will you make?

Society has got itself into a dangerous situation with the climate crisis and EcoCounts aims to create a way out. We need all sorts of different people, not just climate nerds and sustainability fanatics, although of course that doesn't hurt. The person we need right now is someone who knows what people need to keep them happy and effective as a volunteer for us.

Being a volunteer-based organisation at this stage still, that might make the volunteer chief of staff the most important person we have. Of course we all consider each other equal. Being small and dynamic means EcoCounts can offer the flexibility for you to do an excellent and fulfilling job.

Rewards

Once you have found your feet, we can offer references, recommendations or certifications on any of the public platforms that we use, like Linkedin and Reach Volunteer. We are also building a social network and plans for regular events, so we hope you will also find our group socially rewarding.
