  • Represent the charity at events and meetings

Strategic Development

  • Travel occasionally to Cardiff for trustee meetings
  • Contribute to strategic planning and policy development
  • Identify opportunities for charity growth and improvement

Desirable Qualifications

  • Experience with websites, social media, and online communications
  • Accounting software experience and financial management skills
  • Experience with online application systems

What Matters Most We value passion for our mission over formal qualifications. If you have alternative qualifications or extensive relevant experience, we'd love to hear from you.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary: £30-35,000 pro rata
  • Flexible working: Hybrid arrangements available
  • Generous leave: 5 weeks annual leave
  • Pension scheme
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Meaningful work making a real difference to Welsh communities
  • Supportive environment with an engaged board of trustees
