We are recruiting a new Trustee!
Training Link, a small friendly charity based in Somers Town, near the British Library, is looking for a new trustee to join our Board.
Becoming a trustee for Training Link is an exciting and fulfilling role. The role of a trustee is to ensure that our charity fulfils its duty to its beneficiaries through contributing to the strategic development, effective governance and financial management of the organisation.
About Training Link
Training Link is a small and welcoming charity based in the St Pancras and Somers Town ward of the London Borough of Camden where 18% of residents have no qualifications. We provide a range of IT training, accredited vocational training, employability support, ESOL, one to one literacy support and advice and advocacy, mainly around benefits and immigration. The aim is to help people gain employment or to move on to further education, training or volunteering.
Training Link is a registered charity No 1051662 and a company limited by guarantee. It is a well-established organisation, set up forty years ago and with a good local reputation.
Our Team
There is a staff team of six, mainly working part time for one or two days per week. There are six regular volunteers and a further twelve or so volunteers providing ESOL (English as a second language) support. Training Link is run by a Management Committee consisting of the Trustees, Director and three Management Committee members.
The role of a Trustee
Training Link is governed by a Management Committee which currently consists of five Trustees and three others who support the Trustees. The management committee members make sure that the charity does what it was set up to do and that it is run effectively. The management committee meets approximately every two months. In between meetings there are smaller sub-groups which meet to address specific tasks such as finance and fundraising.
The trustees are legally responsible for overall management and decision-making and must act with integrity, openness and honesty. They need to be willing to give their time to take an active part in running Training Link and they must be committed to Training Link’s diversity and inclusion policy and practice. All trustees are expected to attend at least 75% of Management Committee meetings per year.
Reimbursement of expenses
Trustees and Management Committee members can be reimbursed for expenses such as travel linked to Training Link activities but will not be paid simply for being a Trustee or for carrying out tasks for Training Link.
Becoming a Trustee
To apply, please e-mail us your CV and a short covering letter to Tanya Buynovskaya saying why you want to be a Training Link Trustee and what skills you can bring to our organisation.
The first step is an informal conversation with Training Link’s Director. You will be given an overview of our current work and will be given further information about our governance, policies and financial situation.
The second step is a formal interview with trustees which will take place in September. If selected, you will be invited to join our Management Committee and will receive a proper induction from both the Director and the Chair of the Board.
You will also be required to give your permission for us to apply for a DBS check for you and you must let us know if you joining us would involve any conflict of interest.
Rewards of Trusteeship
While being a trustee does involve time and commitment, the satisfaction and sense of achievement that you gain from the role more than makes up for this. We do make a real difference to people’s lives through improving their confidence and skills and providing the opportunity to get accredited qualifications. And of course, being a charity trustee can open the door to other opportunities.
How to Apply
To apply, please e-mail us your CV and a short covering letter saying why you want to be a Training Link Trustee and what skills you can bring to our organisation. The deadline for applications is Monday 11th August 2025.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!
