Choose to be a Trustee for the Wildlife Trust BCN. Choose the Wild Life.

Choose to give your time to the Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs and Northants – BCN for short – and you’re choosing to see nature not as a luxury but as the system that keeps us alive. 

Choose to shape a brighter future for nature in our three counties, and you’re choosingto work with an organisation that doesn’t just count its outputs, but measures its actual impact. 

We’re looking for three new Trustees to provide strategic direction and keep our ambitious plans for a wilder future on track.

We want our Board to reflect our community and actively encourage applications from people of all identities and walks of life. We particularly invite applications from groups currently underrepresented within environmental charities including people from ethnic minority backgrounds and those with disabilities. 

In return for your input, we’ll give you fascinating insights into nature and charity operations, lively and respectful debate and field visits with expert staff.

About you

You don’t need to be an expert on wildlife. We only ask that you care deeply about it.

Nor do you need to have had a long career. We only ask that you’re over 18.

And you don’t need to be a member of the Wildlife Trust to apply, although we will ask you to join if you’re appointed.

We’re looking for:

·A passion for nature and a belief in our vision and values.

·The ability to step back from the detail and see the bigger picture.

·An open mind and a commitment to listening, learning and valuing others’ perspectives. 

·The desire to share your experience and expertise.

·A commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

·The ability to work collaboratively as part of a team with your fellow Trustees and with charity staff. 

In addition, for two of the three posts, we’re particularly seeking Trustees with experience in:

·fundraising and/or membership

or

·farming, agronomy or land management.

The third post is not sector specific.

Time commitment

You’ll attend up to eight evening meetings per year – 6pm to 8pm. One meeting is in-person at our offices in Cambourne; the others are hybrid. You’ll need to read papers in advance and come ready to contribute to the discussion.

We have an annual strategy away day in the working week and we encourage Trustees to attend our AGM and Members’ Day on a Saturday.

Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term. 

The Opportunity

After seven successful years, our current Treasurer is retiring, and we're looking for someone to guide the charity through its next chapter. You'll support our Head of Finance and build strong working relationships with the CEO and wider Board.

What You'll Do

• Chair the monthly Finance call
• Chair the Audit & Remuneration Sub-Committee (two meetings a year)
• Attend four Board meetings a year
• Hold regular one-to-one meetings with the Head of Finance
• Oversee audit and the auditor relationship
• Oversee banking and cash management, including authorising payments
• Be available for prompt responses to emails and calls, and attend our premises from time to time

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• The highest standards of personal integrity and professionalism
• A genuine interest in youth homelessness and supporting vulnerable young people
• Senior-level financial and accounting experience, including a recognised accountancy qualification
• Experience across management accounts, budgets, forecasts, cash-flow projections, statutory accounts and audit findings, plus financial governance, internal controls, risk management, reserves, investment oversight and organisational sustainability
• Sound judgement, independence of mind and the confidence to challenge constructively
• A collaborative approach, able to work well with the Chair, CEO, Head of Finance and fellow trustees
• Enough time and flexibility for the role, including approving payments and attending meetings in person

Desirable:

• Previous experience as a charity trustee, Treasurer or non-executive director
• Knowledge of charity accounting, including the Charities SORP, restricted and unrestricted funds, and reserves policies
• Understanding of trustees' and directors' legal and regulatory duties
• Experience with organisations funded through public-sector contracts, grants and mixed income
• Familiarity with safeguarding-led organisations

Bring your voice and experience to a Board where it can shape real change. Join a national children’s health and wellbeing charity, challenge our thinking, influence our future and help us make stronger decisions for the children, young people and families at the heart of everything we do.

Compass exists for children, young people and families who need someone in their corner. For 40 years, we have delivered health and wellbeing services that give people access to the right support, at the right time and in ways that reflect their needs and communities.

We are looking for a voluntary Non Executive Director and Trustee to join our Board and help shape what comes next. This is an opportunity to use your knowledge, experience and perspective somewhere they can influence real decisions and help Compass remain ambitious, accountable and focused on the people our services exist for.

As a member of the Board, you will provide independent oversight, constructive challenge and fresh thinking. You will work alongside fellow Trustees and our senior leaders to help shape strategy, review organisational performance and ensure decisions are thoughtful, evidence informed and consistent with our charitable purpose and values.

Your role will reach across the organisation. You will contribute to discussions about service quality, safeguarding, workforce, finance, risk, performance and long term sustainability. You will ask the questions that help us think differently, test assumptions and understand the likely impact of our decisions. You will also share responsibility for ensuring Compass is well governed, uses its resources responsibly and meets its legal and regulatory duties as a charity.

This role is about more than attending Board meetings. You will have opportunities to deepen your understanding of Compass, connect with the people who deliver our services and see how Board decisions translate into practice. You will act as an ambassador for our work and help us build trust with the communities, partners and organisations around us. You will also contribute to at least one Board advisory group, bringing closer attention to an area where your knowledge, experience or curiosity can add value.

We want our Board to benefit from a range of voices and experiences. We welcome applications from people of all cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds and walks of life, including those underrepresented at Board level. This is not about asking anyone to speak for an entire community. It is about building a stronger, more representative Board that makes better decisions, challenges established thinking and understands the people it serves.

Previous experience as a Trustee or Non Executive Director would be valuable, but it is not essential. We are interested in what you can bring, whether that comes from your professional career, your community, your lived experience or a combination of these. You will need the confidence to contribute your views, the openness to listen to others and the integrity to put the interests of Compass and the people we support first.

You will be joining a Board where your contribution will be heard and valued. If you are curious about how your experience could help shape a national children’s health and wellbeing charity, we would encourage you to take a closer look.

This is a voluntary appointment. Expenses directly connected with carrying out the role, such as travel, will be reimbursed.
