Job description
STAMMA is the leading charity for people who stammer in the UK. We’re a small, award-winning organisation with big ambitions and a brilliant community, keen to create space and respect for people who stammer.
Stammering has historically been the target for humour and used to suggest inadequacy, leaving many who stammer facing daily ignorance, discrimination and disrespect. This can affect job prospects and mental health, and cause depression and social isolation. It can make booking a GP appointment a nightmare, and prevent people from accessing a service altogether, leaving them feeling humiliated, degraded or disbelieved. We’re here to change that.
We’ve a clear strategy for the next five years to achieve real and practical change for people who stammer by highlighting the inadvertent barriers they face within the workplace and as service users. We want to reach more people who stammer and grow our supporter base, but to do that we need to expand our training and advocacy services, whilst underpinning our helpline and family support.
We want to appoint a new Trustee with significant skills and experience within the charity sector to the Board. You’ll need to share our excitement and ambition for change. It isn’t essential that you stammer. This is an unpaid position, but travel expenses can be covered. Trustee terms are for four years, and you will be expected to attend all Board meetings, up to five times a year, usually on a Saturday, either in-person at different locations across England, or online. There are also sub-committees and informal planning and preparatory discussions, usually held online.
We are looking for someone with experience of one or more of the following:
- Experience of working at a senior level in the voluntary sector, across more than one organisation, with a good understanding of how charities operate and are governed.
- Insight and leadership of people and culture (HR) function and/or service delivery and operations, and a passion for building inclusive, effective organisations
- Previous experience as a trustee or board member. Ideally having chaired a sub committee, board or similar.
- The ability to offer occasional support to the staff team during the working day (roughly two hour per month), providing guidance, insight or a sounding board when helpful
- Lived experience of stammering — whether personally or through close connection — so that the voices of people who stammer are at the heart of our work
Person Specification
- Values-led, with demonstrable passion and commitment to STAMMA and its strategic objectives.
- Proven track record as a senior leader with strategic experience within the charitable sector.
- An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship with an ability to balance the boundaries between different leadership roles.
- Strong interpersonal skills (listening, tact and diplomacy) and relationship-building abilities.
- Ability to challenge constructively and ask questions appropriately.
- Team player, who respects and values the views of others and is able to speak their mind with tact and diplomacy.
- A commitment to EDI values and principles, including an understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion.
- Ability to commit the necessary time to the role.
As a Trustee at STAMMA you would be expected to:
- Develop and agree our long-term strategy.
- Ensure compliance with governing documents and regulations.
- Ensure that resources are spent in accordance with our Articles.
- Work with the Board to set goals and assess performance.
- Ensure that the organisation is run efficiently and financially stable.
- Protect the charity’s assets and ensure surplus funds are properly invested.
- Manage the appointment, supervision, support, appraisal and remuneration of the CEO.
- Uphold STAMMA's values.
