We are Social Link! An established and person-centred charity based in High Wycombe and Aylesbury providing a range of services for adults with learning disabilities, enabling them to meet new people, make new friends, develop skills for independence and enjoy stimulating activities. Our Team and Board at Social Link believe wholeheartedly in promoting the abilities of our members and providing opportunities for them to live life to their fullest potential.
Social Link are experiencing growth in the demand for their services due to the shortage of provisions for adults aged over 18 years living in the local area. We work with approximately 170 individuals and had an income of £536k in the 2024/25 financial year, just over 19% increase on the previous year. Due to our growth we are seeking a new Board member bringing new skills to contribute to our future success.
Our Board members are key to guiding, directing and safeguarding Social Link as a responsible and forward-thinking charity. We would like to increase the size of our current board to ensure that we have the necessary skills in-house for stability and responsiveness.
Meetings held at Social Link, YouthSpace, Desborough Street, High Wycombe, HP11 2RA, at other local venues and on via Zoom online conferencing. Fundraising events held at various locations across South Bucks.
Main tasks:
· To ensure that the charity and its representatives function within the law and in line with the Social Link policies.
· To maintain financial sustainability.
· Continually striving for best practice in governance that adds to client and public confidence and trust in the charity.
· To determine the overall direction and development of the charity through good governance and clear strategic planning.
- To maintain absolute confidentiality about all sensitive/confidential information received in the course of trustee’s responsibilities to the charity.
Skills/Experience:
Ideally, the candidate will have:
· Skills and experience in legal and charity governance
· Ability to work as part of a team
Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
What we can offer you:
· Gain experience of working within a small but fast-growing charity
· Meet new people and build your own network
· An opportunity to give back to the community
· Gain insight into the challenges faced by adults with learning disabilities
· Provide a sense of accomplishment.
