Deputy Chief Executive Volunteer Roles in Bristol
Home-Start Cambridgeshire have a vision of giving the children of Cambridgeshire the best possible start in life. Our mission is to empower parents with the skills, knowledge and emotional resilience to raise their children to flourish.
Our trustees take responsibility for the governance of the charity, ensuring we meet our objects, use our money and resources properly, and leading on strategy. We’re currently looking to fill up to four roles on our board of trustees. These roles include those of Trustee, Vice Chair and Deputy Treasurer.
As a trustee you will be able to use your skills and experience and have a direct influence over our direction and governance. It is a rewarding role, but there are responsibilities meaning you will need to give enough time to help us succeed.
We’re looking for individuals who understand the important role our charity fills in shaping the life outcomes of children and families in our county, and who want to contribute to our mission.
You do not need to have experience of acting as a trustee to apply for our trustee roles, apart from the position of Vice-Chair. For the Deputy Treasurer role, we are seeking expertise in management accounts and financial control.
Our recruitment pack covers everything you need to consider our opportunities further; however, we’d welcome an informal conversation with anyone who would like to find out more before applying.
We look forward to hearing from you soon because childhood can’t wait.
About Us
With Jesus. With each other. To the edges.
We are passionate about God’s mission and eager to see more and more people become followers of Jesus. For 225 years CMS has been at the forefront of global mission, living out the gospel of Jesus, seeing lives changed and communities transformed across the globe. Often in ways we could not have anticipated.
Founded by William Wilberforce and other members of the Clapham Sect group of activists in 1799, today CMS supports hundreds of people and partners in mission working together across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. We also train UK Christians for creative, ground-breaking mission in Britain.
Context
With mission no longer being a “West to the rest” endeavour, and as Christianity has flourished in parts of the majority world, we have undertaken a prayerful review of our organisation, in order to discern our mission call for this generation.
We have rediscovered and been re-inspired by the pioneering spirit of our founders. We believe our calling for this time is to the “edges”: to the edges of society, the edges of church and to the edges of our comfort zones. To that end, we have been aligning our organisation and focus to play a catalytic role in facilitating movements of mission to and from these edges.
The Role
Taking a listening and reflective approach, as Chair you will draw out the diverse skills and wisdom among our trustees, ensure excellence in our governance, support the executive leadership in delivering our refreshed vision and play a role in strengthening our links with the Global Anglican Communion.
If you share our passion for following Jesus and making disciples at the edges, bring experience at board level, a highly relational approach and a global perspective, we would love to hear from you.
For more information see the job pack attached. Closing date 14 August.
