Live Well with Hearing Loss is a three year project funded by the Welsh Government under the Sustainable Social Services Grant. The project has three strands in which recruiting, training and supporting volunteers is an essential element.

Through the Volunteer Led Befriending Service we will offer support to people with deafness and hearing loss who are dealing with feelings of isolation, loneliness and empower them to improve their wellbeing and access services within their local community. This will be delivered in two ways:

• ‘Time for Me’ – at home volunteer led befriending service. 1 hour a week for 10 sessions to be a companion to those with hearing loss, tinnitus or D/deafness who are looking for someone to meet with.
• ‘Out & About’ – volunteer led befriending service to support those with hearing loss, tinnitus or deafness to become more independent and active. Volunteers support for 1 hour a week for 10 sessions to support independence when accessing social groups.

Communication is a basic human need. Yet most of us know someone who struggles to communicate through hearing loss. It can cause substantial harm to friendships, family relationships, confidence, employability, mental health and life chances.

Action on Hearing Loss (formerly the RNID) is the UK’s largest charity for the 11 million people in the UK who confront deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss every day. Established in 1911, we help people to take control of their lives and live the life they choose, removing the barriers standing in their way. We give people support and care, develop technology and treatments, and campaign for equality. 

We champion the value of difference and equality and celebrate our diverse and inclusive workforce. We actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from BAME backgrounds or who are deaf or hard of hearing. With almost 20% of our employees having a disability we proudly hold Disability Confident Leader status and guarantee an interview for disabled applicants meeting the minimum essential criteria.

Background

NEF is an independent, national charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee based in Milton Keynes.  NEF’s Trustees are also members and Directors of the Limited Company. NEF has been at the forefront of improving the use of energy in buildings since 1988. It aims to give people, organisations and governments the knowledge, support and inspiration they need to understand and improve the use of energy in buildings, in particular the UK’s housing stock. The NEF achieves this through:

• Delivering practical projects – using our experience and expertise.
• Inspiring action – providing building owners and occupiers with the encouragement, advice and real-life examples to achieve better performing buildings.
• Advancing knowledge - supporting collaboration to drive forward the frontiers of knowledge, innovation and practice.
• Identifying and addressing market failures using evidence, analysis and ideas.

Trustee Duties

The Charities Act 1993 defines charity trustees as those responsible under the charity's governing document for controlling the administration and management of the charity. This is the case regardless of the terminology used to describe the role. With this in mind the duties of an NEF Trustee Board Member are to:

• Ensure that the NEF complies with its governing document (its Articles of Association).
• Ensure adherence to charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations.
• Ensure that the NEF pursues its objects as defined in its governing document.
• Ensure the NEF applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its objects.
• Contribute actively to the Board of Trustees by giving firm strategic direction to the NEF.
• Set overall policy, defining goals and targets; and evaluating performance of the Chief Executive and the organisation overall against these agreed targets.
• Promoting the organisation, its aims and impacts.
• Safeguarding the good name and values of the NEF.
• Ensuring the financial stability of the NEF.

In addition to the above statutory duties, each Trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the Board of Trustees reach sound decisions. This may involve leading discussions, identifying key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, and evaluating or offering advice on other areas in which the trustee has particular expertise.

Person Specification

Each Trustee must have:

• A commitment to the mission of the NEF and experience in related sectors
• A willingness to meet the minimum time requirement
• Integrity and ability to act solely in the best interests of the organisation regardless of other roles or business interests
• Strategic vision
• Good, independent judgement
• An ability to think creatively
• A willingness to speak their mind
• An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of Trusteeship
• An ability to work effectively as a member of a team and to take decisions for the good of the NEF.
• Previous experience of being a Trustee is important for the majority of Board members, but we are also interested in recruiting new Trustees from among the beneficiary groups that we serve who wish to be trained in the role, want to commit to personal development and take on this role for the first time.  

The Board of Trustees collectively needs skills and experience in the following areas:

• Financial management, income generation and enterprise
• Public policy, public affairs and stakeholder engagement – particularly in the housing, energy, environmental sustainability and built environment sectors
• National and local voluntary sectors
• National and local government and statutory bodies
• Digital strategy
• Trading subsidiaries, social enterprises and joint ventures
• Human resources and performance management
• Funding/foundations
• Collaborative partnerships
• Quality Management Systems
• Strategic charitable business development
• Social investment and impact
