We need volunteers who can be available for a 7-week block - approximately 1/2 a day each week over the 7 weeks.

Few institutions are or Students Unions are developing as fast as we are. Both UCB and the Guild of Students aspire to being models of excellence serving our unique a diverse student body.

We serve students from 6th form, vocational courses and degree and post grad, local and many international students. We have an exciting plan to take us into the next few years and need someone brilliant, experienced and enthusiastic to help steer us on this ambitious, challenging journey.

We think someone with experience as a senior Students' Union and perhaps some broader experiences and interests too would be great for the role but we would be happy to talk to someone who has a good understanding of governance and students' unions acquired during their varied history.

About the Guild of Students

Since becoming an independent charity six years ago, the Guild of Students has become a hub of student life and advocacy, in line with our mission to help every student at University College Birmingham achieve their potential. We run a Course Representative scheme of over 400 volunteers, lead change campaigns in students’ interests, facilitate around 25 student-led clubs and societies, and organise exciting social opportunities.

We’ve been recognised with several accreditations, including Investors In People, Disability Confident, and most recently the National Union of Students’ ‘Quality Students’ Union’ status.

The Guild is led by three elected full-time Officers: an Education Officer, Equalities and Wellbeing Officer, and Societies & Activities Officer. They, in turn, are supported by a team of 6 part-time volunteer Officers and a small but dedicated staff team, which we are keen to expand to develop the quality and breadth of our services.

About our Members

UCB is home to a wide range of courses with a particular emphasis on skills-based education. We are proud to welcome a diverse student body, including many from the West Midlands who have traditionally faced barriers to accessing further or higher education.

The Guild represents around 10,000 students, including apprentices, college-level students, UCB’s new Sixth Form, and university-level students. We engage with a clear majority of our members each year, and are keen to deepen our reach — especially with FE students.

About the Role

As Chairperson, you will lead a Board comprising external trustees, student trustees, the three full-time Officers, and a member of UCB’s governing body. The Board meets quarterly for around three hours, and the chairperson will be expected to provide additional support and guidance between meetings (which can be done remotely).

The initial term of appointment is four years, with the option of renewal.

We ask candidates to note the following key dates:

• Applications close: Friday 7th November, 16:00

Trustees - Derbyshire Cricket Foundation

The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation are seeking to recruit several new voluntary Trustees to join our Board and support the work we do across Derbyshire to empower communities and improve lives through cricket.

We are seeking Trustees with diverse skills and experience, who care about improving lives through cricket or sport, and share our belief that cricket should be “a game for everyone”. A deep knowledge of cricket is not essential.  We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also keen to add Trustees to our Board who have any of the following skills and experience.

· Finance – to be our Finance Director and Chair our Audit Committee

· Charitable Fund Raising

· Business Development

· Safeguarding

More information about the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, the role of a Trustee, the time commitment involved, and the application process can be found in our Recruitment Pack.

Who We Are

The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation (DCF) is a registered charity that improves lives and empowers communities across Derbyshire through cricket. We also serve as the governing body for recreational cricket in Derbyshire – one of 39 county organisations working with the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to support a network of grassroots clubs and leagues to develop and sustain the game. Our ambition is that cricket will be the most inclusive team sport, and our strategy, “A Game for Everyone, outlines our plan to achieve this in Derbyshire.  More information about what we do is included in our Recruitment Pack and in our 2024 Impact report.

What we’re looking for

We’re seeking several new voluntary Trustees to complement a strong group of existing Trustees who make up our Board. We are keen to attract candidates with diverse skills and experience and who can provide different perspectives and constructive challenge, support delivery of our strategy, and help us be the high-performing Board that cricket and communities across Derbyshire deserve. 

We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also particularly keen to add Trustees with any of the following skills and experience.

· Finance – to be our Finance Director and Chair our Audit Committee

· Charitable Fund Raising

· Business Development

· Safeguarding

What’s involved?

As a Trustee of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation you share ultimate responsibility for governing a charity and directing how it is managed and run, but the roles are largely “eyes-on, hands-off”, as our members of staff manage the day-to-day operational business of the DCF.

We have six Board meetings a year, typically of 2.5 hours duration. Board meetings are held on midweek evenings, start at 5.30pm, and are usually hosted at the Derbyshire CCC Central Co-Op County Ground in Derby. All our Board meetings have a hybrid format, so that Trustees can attend remotely via Teams if they need that flexibility.

Trustees are also expected to be a member of one of our Board committees, which will be aligned with their areas of interest or experience. This will typically involve attending a further 1-2 meetings per year. There may be further opportunities for Trustees to support our work or events, but we appreciate that the role is a voluntary commitment and respect that our Trustees will need to balance their time with other commitments.

The role is voluntary and unpaid. Trustees are initially appointed for a 3 year term, with an option to serve a further two terms, up to a maximum of 9 years. A comprehensive induction will be provided for new Trustees, to ensure they have good understanding of the role and the DCF business.

In line with these commitments we will seek to recruit a diverse workforce of high quality, high performing individuals who have the specific competencies (qualifications/knowledge, skills, experience and behaviours) required for defined roles which will support achievement of our mission, strategy, and business plan. All applicants will have equality of opportunity during our selection processes, and decisions will solely be based on an individual’s ability to meet the requirements of the role.

Our trustees are the people that have overall oversight of Foothold.  They are not involved in running Foothold on a day-to-day basis as we have a team of staff and volunteers that do this.  However, our board of trustees collectively make decisions about the approach the Foothold will take and its future direction.  They make sure that, as an organisation, we have the policies and procedures we need to ensure we’re complying with our legal obligations.  They provide support, ideas and constructive challenge to our staff team to test our thinking and help Foothold to achieve the best it can for our community members and demonstrate the difference that we make.
