The company holds that truly dynamic and relevant theatre emerges when audience and artist inspire each other’s imagination.

About us

We’re part of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, a national youth organisation empowering 12- to 20-year-olds through flying, adventure training, sports, and leadership development.

West Mercian Wing supports over 900 cadets across 27 squadrons in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, the Black Country, and Cyprus. Each squadron is supported by a committee of trustees who oversee governance, fundraising, and community engagement, helping ensure incredible opportunities for young people.

What’s involved

Being a trustee is a simple but highly impactful way to support your local squadron:

• Attend quarterly meetings (around two hours each)
• Discuss finances, fundraising, priorities, and squadron activities
• Take part in decisions, especially financial and strategic matters
• Support events, networking, or community initiatives

Typical commitment: 8-12 hours per year.

Who we’re looking for

Trustees come from all walks of life. No military, youth work, or charity experience is required. Trustees actively participate in meetings and decisions – there’s no obligation to take on an elected role.

Eligibility:

• Must be 20 years or older.
• Must have lived in the UK for 3 or more years.

Useful skills (optional but welcomed):

• Finance, budgeting, or business management
• Fundraising or grant writing
• Event planning or project management
• Governance, committee, or leadership experience
• Local networks or community connections

We particularly welcome:

• Applicants from under-represented communities.
• Younger adults. Only 1% of trustees in the UK are under 30 (Charity Commission and Pro Bono Economics 2025), and we particularly encourage applications from people wanting to grow their skills while making a real impact.
• People who are motivated to learn and contribute, not just bring experience.

What you’ll gain

• Experience in leadership, governance, and fundraising.
• Expanded professional and personal networks.
• Access to training and support.
• A chance to make a real difference in your community.

There are also opportunities to grow if you want to take on more responsibility:

• Take on leadership roles within your committee
• Support other squadrons
• Get involved in regional or even nationally
• Transition into civilian or uniformed volunteer roles working directly with cadets

Support you’ll receive

You will be fully supported, with guidance and resources at every level, so you can contribute confidently:

• Locally, you’ll work with your squadron Chair, Treasurer and Commander.
• At Wing level, the Wing Chair, Treasurer and Secretary provide guidance, templates and advice.
• Nationally, RAF Air Cadets trustees are part of a broader governance community with access to resources and information.

How to join

1. Submit an expression of interest via this CharityJob listing.
2. Attend an informal virtual meeting with the Wing Chair and Wing Treasurer.
3. Visit a local squadron and meet the team.
4. Apply to become a trustee if invited.
5. Complete required DBS and background checks.

If you care about equity in the arts, believe creative talent should thrive in Bradford, and want to play a part in shaping cultural change locally and nationally, we’d love to hear from you.

Bradford Producing Hub is an artist-led charity working to dismantle barriers in the arts and build more equitable systems in their place. Our vision is a just and joyful cultural future – powered by people, rooted in place, and open to all.

We support artists and creatives through development programmes, sector advocacy and strategic partnerships. We work locally in Bradford and influence nationally. 

Who we’re looking for

We’re particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Chairing, or an interest in developing into a future Chair role
• Arts and cultural leadership
• Being an independent artist or creative practitioner
• Charity finance and accountancy
• Fundraising and charitable giving
• HR or legal practice
• Heritage, cultural building management and/or capital development

If you don’t have the specific experience listed above, but your values and outlook closely align with the work of Bradford Producing Hub, we’re very much interested in hearing from you.

We are also actively seeking voices that represent the Bradford district, and we particularly welcome applications from people from the Global Majority*, including Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities who are underrepresented in arts leadership and governance. We equally welcome applications from people who are LGBTQIA+, disabled**, and/or from working-class or low socio-economic backgrounds.

We are committed not only to diversifying representation, but to ensuring trustees feel valued, heard and able to shape decisions meaningfully. BPH is radical, kind, equity-driven and community-spirited. We are committed to anti-racist and anti-ableist practice, recognising that structural racism and ableism continue to shape the arts sector. We are actively working to challenge this within our governance and partnerships, and we expect trustees to share that commitment.

We know that joining a board can feel daunting, particularly where governance spaces have not always felt welcoming. We are committed to providing induction, support and space for all trustees to contribute confidently and meaningfully.

If you have ever looked at arts leadership and felt it did not reflect you, this is an invitation to help change that.

What does being a trustee involve?

Trustees shape our long-term strategy, influence cultural policy, and hold the organisation to account in line with our charitable aims.

You don’t need previous board experience. Collective leadership at BPH is built on shared responsibility, openness and learning together. We provide induction and ongoing development and training.

Commitment includes:

• Around four board meetings per year
• Preparation and reading in advance
• Occasional additional support or sub-group involvement

While the role is unpaid, we cover expenses and provide a role that offers valuable non-executive directorial experience, which includes:

• Professional skills development contributing to career enhancement
• Personal fulfilment through volunteering your time and expertise to an organisation you value, supporting it to realise its goals
• Expanding your professional network while working with like-minded people to support the creative and cultural sector in Bradford
