___________________________________________________________________________

As we strive to tackle the ecological and climate emergency and further environmental justice, we are seeking to appoint two Board members to join the Friends of the Earth Board.

About the role

Joining the Friends of the Earth Board is a great opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to action on the climate and ecological crisis.

The Board is responsible for the governance of Friends of the Earth Limited, which has jurisdiction over Friends of the Earth’s campaigning and activism in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Sharing responsibility with other Board members and under the direction of the Chair, this role will contribute to our campaigning and organisational strategy and guide the organisation in making a long-term impact.

We pride ourselves on a positive, collegiate working culture and on constructively providing support and challenge to our Senior Leadership Team.

In 2023 we were awarded Conservation and Environment Board of the Year at the Board Awards for our impact on diversity and inclusion within environmental conservation. We aim to build on this achievement including through the current recruitment.

Main responsibilities

This governance role involves the following key areas:

· Supporting and guiding the mission and values of Friends of the Earth

· Providing strategic direction for our campaigns, community activism and the organisation

· Oversight of our people, fundraising, business planning, budgeting, financial management and compliance

· Fulfilling legal responsibilities as a director under company law

· Assessing risks and overseeing mitigating actions

· Safeguarding

· Supporting and constructively challenging our Senior Leadership Team

Key skills and attributes

All candidates should demonstrate a commitment to the mission and values of Friends of the Earth and their ability to fulfil the responsibilities outlined above.

Owing to the recent departure of two board members who reached their term limits, we are specifically looking for candidates matching the following criteria:

· Significant governance experience in a non-executive role (with legal background a bonus);

· Candidates from Wales, or with a strong knowledge and understanding of climate and environmental issues in Wales, to ensure representation on our Board of all our constituent nations.

Additional desirable experience includes some or all of the following:

· Financial experience, in particular oversight/management and risk

· Experience of fundraising or income generation

· Campaigning and activism experience

· Knowledge and understanding of the climate and ecological emergency and environmental justice

· Community/network organising experience and/or membership of a Friends of the Earth local group

· Communications experience, including media, social media, and marketing

· Lived experience of the impacts of the climate and ecological crisis

Please note we will also be running recruitment for a youth member to join our board in the coming months.   

Time commitment 

In addition to four quarterly Board meetings per year, there is an additional Board meeting held during the annual away days. Meetings usually take place during the working day on a Thursday with at least one held outside of London and the option to join remotely (where required). The annual away days are usually two days outside London, together with the Senior Leadership Team and other senior members of staff.

In addition to attending meetings, you will need to make time to:

· read papers prior to each Board meeting and prepare comments and feedback

· liaise with the Chair, other Board members and staff between meetings

· lead discussions on particular issues from time to time, including becoming involved in particular projects depending on your specialist skills

· attend Fiends of the Earth supporter events and support fundraising initiatives as relevant

We estimate that the total time commitment is approximately 1.5 days per month, although this is not evenly distributed across the year and will be greater for Board Members taking on an officer role (e.g., Vice Chair, Chair of Finance Committee). We acknowledge this is a significant time commitment and are committed to providing flexibility and support to candidates who require this to meet the demands of the role.

Board members are encouraged to join or participate in the activities of their Local Action Group in order to maintain connections with our grassroots movement. Board members are also ambassadors for Friends of the Earth and are invited to our events. Being a member of the Friends of the Earth Board is a highly rewarding experience and you will play a vitally important and challenging role across the governance of the organisation.

How to apply

To apply for the role of Board Member of Friends of the Earth Limited please email your CV (maximum 2 pages of A4) together with a supporting statement (maximum one page of A4).

S.A.L.V.E. International is a small International Development partnership charity registered in the UK and Uganda. Our ethos is “Support And Love Via Education”. We support children living and working on the streets of Uganda, and their families, to have a brighter future. 

We are looking to recruit a new CEO who believes in our vision that there should be “No Street Called Home” for children living on the streets in Uganda and who wants to help us to grow this impact and further change children’s lives.

What does the CEO role involve?

You will join and lead our incredible global team, working alongside our volunteers, staff teams and trustee boards in both the UK and Uganda, to help S.A.L.V.E. International to thrive and increase our impact. As a small charity, we need a proactive and practical CEO, who is as much able to deliver high level presentations about our work as they are to get stuck in to cover practical gaps that might stop us from achieving our goals.

We have a current strategic plan that you would ensure is being met and if possible exceeded, and then you would be expected to collaboratively develop the next strategic plan to be ready for when this one elapses in April 2027. You would be working with our team to progress and improve our existing programmes of work as well as ensuring new programmes are being researched and developed as needed for the organisation to best benefit our service users.

You will need to drive forwards and oversee our fundraising strategy and manage relationships with new and existing funders to a high standard to ensure that maximum potential support is achieved. We would expect you to proactively identify potential new areas of support, approaching and winning resources from new partnerships in the wider community to best meet S.A.L.V.E.’s aims and objectives. You would be a key ambassador for our work, always looking to inspire others about how they can join us and help us to achieve our mission.

We believe that it is highly beneficial for the CEO to be based in the UK but to visit the programme in Uganda for a minimum of 1 month a year and a maximum of 3 months a year, which would be split across 2 or 3 trips in the year to understand the work in greater depth, share their skills and to meet and collaborate with team members and service users. The amount and duration of trips would be assessed based on personal circumstances and organisational needs year to year.

CEO specific responsibilities:

As CEO you would be responsible for:  

✔ Working collaboratively with our global team of staff, volunteers, and board members to ensure a strong strategic plan is in place which is reviewed and improved over time to maximise the organisation’s impact. We currently have a team of 2.5 in the UK (including the CEO) and 26 in Uganda.

✔ Leading and championing our fundraising strategy. Helping to develop our one off and regular financial supporters through finding new opportunities and networks, giving talks, ensuring quality timely communications, and reporting to existing supporters.

✔ Recruiting, training, developing and managing staff and volunteers to help to build the capacity of the organisation as needed.

✔ Collaboratively create, review, and develop policies, procedures and systems to help to ensure quality safeguarding and risk management for the organisation.

✔ Working closely with and supporting our UK and Ugandan boards to ensure that the governance of the organisation is strong.

✔ Supporting and co-working with our Development Manager to research new application prospects, and helping to maintain and develop the income from our existing network of corporate, organisational and Trust and Foundation partnerships and donors. This includes writing and reviewing funding applications and reports as needed.

✔ Overseeing the communications strategy of the organisation, ensuring the website, social media, newsletters, annual report and mailings out to supporters are kept up to date by supporting our Communications and Admin Officer. This includes drafting and checking copy and promoting and marketing events and campaigns for the organisation to raise funds and awareness.

✔ Leading and collaborating with the wider team to develop and improve our programmes through regular evaluation and learning reviews.

✔ Seek opportunities to develop the organisation’s knowledge through training and staff and volunteer development.

✔ Representing S.A.L.V.E. in partnerships and networks such as the Consortium for Street Children to ensure that we are making the most of advocacy opportunities.

Essential skills/ experience for the CEO:

• Have proven experience of communicating well with different stakeholders and successfully raising funds.

• Have experience in successfully working internationally and/ or with people from different cultural backgrounds.
