Looking for an internship?

Brightview Farm – Trustee Opportunity

Help shape a charity that actually changes lives, not just policies.

Brightview Farm isn’t a typical education charity. It’s a place where young people with Special Educational Needs find safety, purpose and a way back into themselves through animals, land, meaningful work, and steady adult relationships.

We’re growing — in impact, ambition and responsibility — and we’re looking for new Trustees who want to use their expertise where it genuinely matters.

Why Join Us?

As a Trustee, you’ll play a key role in guiding a charity that blends education, care and nature-based practice to help young people build confidence, skills and independence. You’ll be joining a Board that believes in doing things properly: thoughtful governance, trauma-informed practice, and a deeply human approach to learning.

You’ll help us:

• Set a clear, values-driven strategic direction
• Support a passionate CEO and a team working at the sharp end of SEN provision
• Strengthen and expand our high-quality Alternative Provision offer
• Ensure the environment remains safe, nurturing, and genuinely transformative
• Bring your insight, curiosity, judgement and lived experience into conversations that shape the future of the farm and the young people we serve

Who We’d Love to Have Around the Table

You don’t need to be an expert in everything — nobody is. But experience in any of the following would be a real asset:

• SEN, education, youth work or social care
• Mental health, behaviour support, occupational therapy
• Horticulture, farming, land management or animal care
• Safeguarding, charity governance, fundraising, finance or communications

What Matters Most

• A grounded commitment to inclusion and person-centred practice
• An understanding — or willingness to learn — about the realities faced by young people with SEN and their families
• Integrity, humility, and good judgement
• The ability to both challenge and support in equal measure
• A belief that diverse voices make better decisions

If you want your time and expertise to directly support young people who deserve better than the system often gives them, we’d love to talk. We are ideally looking for someone in Essex/Herts who would be able to visit our site and meet other trustees/staff face to face on occasion

Get in touch for an informal conversation. We are currently based near Great Dunmow Essex.

Screen Share is the leading refugee digital inclusion charity in the UK. Our mission is to ensure every refugee in the UK has a connected device and the skills to use it to achieve their goals. 

We currently support 2000 clients a year with devices, internet connectivity and digital skills training and volunteering opportunities. 

The organisation is entering a key period of growth. Having professionalised successfully in 2025, we are launching an ambitious 5-year strategy to significantly scale our programmes across the UK. 

This represents a critical moment in our journey as a young organisation. As we deepen our impact and pursue financial sustainability, we are looking to onboard 3 new trustees to add significant governance experience in key areas. 

Trustee: Charity Trading and Commercialisation 

Our fundraising strategy prioritises corporate and trading income. That strategy is complemented by our trading income strategy, which seeks to invest in traded services which support our mission, including digital inclusion services, IT Repair, IT Leasing and IT Asset Disposal. We have good experience in these areas and are looking for a trustee to oversee and significantly contribute to decision-making regarding when and how to enter these markets. The postholder will ideally be a current or former leader of a social enterprise or charity that trades, who can provide the board with the expertise it needs to make informed decisions. This trustee will bring relevant insight on sustainable income diversification and fundraising strategy. 

Trustee: Digital Governance 

We handle sensitive client data, and act as a processor for sanitising donated devices. This creates significant cybersecurity, data protection responsibilities. We have a cybersecurity strategy, dedicated staff time and also receive pro-bono support to discharge those responsibilities effectively, but we need a trustee with expertise to provide genuine oversight in this area and represent the position at board level. Strong candidates will bring expertise in data governance, cybersecurity policy or digital risk management. We would particularly welcome candidates who bring expertise in digital inclusion alongside this. 

Trustee: Safeguarding 

As we scale up across the UK, we are making the intentional decision to deepen our relationship with our clients. We work with some of the most vulnerable people in the UK, so our board needs to be confident that we are providing proper oversight of how we keep them safe in the context of support. We are looking for a trustee with governance-level safeguarding experience who understands safeguarding frameworks and legislation, can scrutinise our policies and procedures, and hold our staff team to account in this area. This trustee will lead our Safeguarding sub-committee. 

Key details 

Roles available: Three trustee positions: Charity Trading and Commercialisation; Digital Governance; Safeguarding
Commitment: Approx 32 hours per year (see breakdown below)

Term: three years, renewable 

Location: Online, with 1-2 in-person meetings in London per year

Remuneration: Voluntary, unpaid. Reasonable expenses reimbursed 

Time commitment 

Board meetings - 10-12 meetings per year, 1hr meetings 

Paper reading & preparation - 6 hours per year 

Sub-committee attendance - 4 hours per year 

Ad-hoc governance and decision-making - 4 hours per year 

Specialist contribution (emails, 1:1s with relevant staff) - 4 hours per year 

External representation - 2 hours per year 

Induction - 2 hours in the first year 

Total: ~32 hours per year

Please see the attached recruitment pack for a full sense of the opportunity. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to our CEO Moses Seitler who would be happy to discuss.

Help Us Become the “Best Wee Hospice in the UK”

Ardgowan Hospice is on a journey of radical transformation. We are an 

extraordinary organisation providing a "cloak" of love, care, and compassion to over 1,000 patients and families in Inverclyde each year.

As we enter a vital new 5-year cycle, we are looking for dynamic, innovative, and proactive Trustees to help shape our future

• Accountancy/Finance: To help us manage our £12 million capital building project and achieve a balanced budget.

• Marketing/Communications: To champion our work and grow our supporter base across Inverclyde and beyond.

• Law: To ensure we remain compliant with legislative requirements and best practices.
