Trustee — Programmes
About us: Could you help us get millions of separated children Back to Family?
Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.
Right now, 5.4 million children around the world are locked away in orphanages — even though over 80% of them are not orphans. Orphanages expose children to abuse and trafficking, and physical and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime. A century of evidence shows that the bond between a child and their family is what every child needs to grow, thrive and be safe.
The role
As our Programmes Trustee, you will bring senior international development or humanitarian programmes expertise to our Board, helping to strengthen the quality, scale and impact of HHC's work across nine countries. Working closely with our Chair, CEO and Director of Global Programmes, you will contribute to our ambitious 2030 goal by:
Who we are looking for
You will bring senior leadership experience in a programmes function within an NGO, multilateral organisation, government body or major funder — particularly in work with marginalised children, families and communities. Beyond that, we are looking for someone who brings:
Above all, you will share our belief that every child deserves to grow up in the love and safety of a family, and our commitment to driving that change with courage, integrity, excellence and being deeply human.
What we offer
This is a voluntary, unremunerated role. In return you will:
Time commitment
The role requires approximately 12–18 days per year, comprising:
The initial term of office is three years, with the possibility of two further three-year terms by mutual agreement.
Closing Date: The final cut off for applications is 17.00 UK time on Thursday 8 October 2026 so please get in touch if you have the right skills, experience and passion for our cause.
To apply, please upload your CV and a brief covering letter indicating why you are interested in joining the Hope and Homes for Children Board and how your experience, skills and values map to the requirements of this role.
Diversity
Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages equity, diversity and inclusion, and we look to recruit a diverse range of people to reflect the communities in which we live. We are keen to see a diverse membership of both the trustee body and committees as we believe diversity brings us closer to our mission of eliminating orphanages.

About The Pinnacle Centre
The Pinnacle Centre is a third space in Birmingham helping young adults grow holistically. We work across three domains: personal development, sports and wellbeing, and community and belonging.
Vision 2030 is where that work is heading. We're building a multi-purpose centre in Birmingham — sports facilities, co-working space, an auditorium and a café — designed as a home for young adults to train, work, learn and gather.
Role Summary
You own Pinnacle's operational backbone — venues, suppliers, equipment, budgets and the systems that make delivery repeatable — and you deliver it yourself on the ground. Programmes and Events decide what happens; you make sure it can happen, and then you make it happen.
Key tasks
1. Operational ownership
○ Own the venue, supplier and equipment strategy across all Pinnacle activity.
○ Negotiate and manage contracts, hire agreements and service providers.
○ Hold the operations budget and report actual against forecast to the COO.
2. Delivery
○ Execute the operational plan for scheduled activity: set-up, delivery and pack-down.
○ Act as the on-site operational point of contact during sessions and events.
○ Complete the operational checklist for every activity, every time.
3. Equipment & inventory
○ Maintain the inventory: track, store, clean and repair equipment.
○ Flag replacement needs before something fails mid-session.
○ Manage transport and storage logistics.
4. Risk & compliance
○ Own risk assessments, insurance, licensing and site health and safety.
○ Ensure safeguarding requirements are practically met wherever we operate.
○ Maintain contingency plans for venue loss, equipment failure and staffing gaps.
5. Records & improvement
○ Keep accurate records of bookings, costs and attendance.
○ Document how we run things, so a new volunteer can follow the process unaided.
○ Remove recurring friction rather than firefighting the same problem each month.
What we're looking for
● Organised, hands-on and practical — you plan it and then you do it.
● Reliable; people are depending on you being there.
● Confident negotiating with suppliers and holding them to terms.
● Comfortable with budgets and record-keeping as well as physical set-up.
● Based in Birmingham with regular evening and weekend availability.
● Health and safety or facilities experience, and a full driving licence (desirable).
What we have to offer
● Real ownership of a function, not a task list — you will shape how it works, not just execute someone else's plan.
● A seat in a team building towards a 2030 horizon, with a clear line of sight to the leadership team.
● Access to our network of founders, professionals, entrepreneurs and investors through Pinnacle's events programme.
● Training, mentoring and the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own as the organisation grows.
● The reward of building something in your city that will outlast all of us.
Please note: this is currently a volunteer position. Reasonable expenses for travel, equipment and refreshments are reimbursed in line with our Expenses Policy. As Pinnacle grows and funding allows, we expect several senior roles to move to paid positions, and volunteers already in post will be considered first.
