THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
We are seeking a volunteer with a strong professional track record in finance or accountancy, who can provide senior level oversight on our Finance and Compliance Committee. You will have an understanding of best practice in financial reporting, controls and governance. A background in charity finance is not essential but would be advantageous. We are seeking a Trustee with sound judgement, the highest professional standards and integrity and strong communication skills who would enjoy contributing to the overall governance of the charity. This role would suit someone with a finance background looking for their first trustee position or who has been a Treasurer for a smaller charity and is not looking for a larger Treasurer role at this time.
THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Please see the How to Apply section further below to apply for this role.
We will have an informal selection panel to consider volunteer applications and if you are selected you will be one of the people who will lead the CCFA and decide how it is run.
Working with our other trustees, your skills and experience will be key to the success and development of the CCFA. The successful candidate will benefit from being part of a dynamic and successful trustee body of a charity which demonstrates great social value to young people and to society, and to those adult volunteers who train and develop the cadets, inspiring them to achieve their full potential.
As you will become a charity trustee and company director, and as we work with young people, there are a number of eligibility criteria which we will cover with you. Please ask us if you have any questions around your eligibility for this role.
You can find out more about what we look for in a Trustee in Annex B.
TENURE
Once elected as a trustee, you will be asked to serve for a three-year term, following which by mutual agreement you could be elected for a further three-year term.
On election you will have a probationary period of 3 to 4 months depending on your joining date and dates of board meetings and committee group meetings. In the probationary period you should attend one board meeting and at least two committee meetings as a trustee. This will give you an insight into the work done by trustees and the commitment required to be a trustee and will allow both the board and you to assess whether this role is suitable for you. You will have full trustee voting rights during the probationary period.

Trustee Recruitment — Join Our Board
North Yorkshire Moors Railway
Are you passionate about heritage, conservation, and making a difference? Could you help shape the future of one of the UK's most-loved heritage railways?
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is a registered charity and one of the finest heritage railways in the world, running through 18 miles of stunning National Park landscape. We are on an exciting journey — preserving the past while building a sustainable, inclusive future — and we are looking for dedicated and talented individuals to join our Trust Board as Trustees.
About the Role
As a Trustee, you will provide strategic leadership, governance oversight, and support to help NYMR fulfil its charitable mission. This is a voluntary role, but one that carries real responsibility and tremendous reward. You will work alongside a committed team of fellow trustees, staff, and volunteers who share a deep love for our railway and the communities it serves.
As an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation, we are recognised for our cultural and creative significance at a national level.
We are committed to building a board that reflects the diversity of the communities and visitors we serve. We warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, ages, sexual orientations, disabilities, and lived experiences — particularly from groups currently underrepresented in heritage and charity governance.
These four Trustee positions are filled by election by Trust members, not by direct appointment. If you stand, you'll be asked to submit an election statement outlining your experience, skills, and vision for the railway, which will be shared with the membership to inform their vote. We encourage candidates to approach this as their opportunity to make their case directly to the people who care most about the railway’s future.
Skills We Are Looking For
We are seeking to fill four new Trustees with skills and experience in any of the following areas:
· Income & Fundraising — building and diversifying income streams
· Diversity, Equity & Inclusion — particularly within education, helping the railway reach and reflect its communities
· Conservation & Environment — meeting the challenges of a changing world
· Heritage & Collections — protecting historic estates and collections
All Trustees Must Bring
· High-Level Leadership — senior leadership experience, whether in the public, private, or third sector
· Business Strategy — experience shaping organisational direction, commercial development, or enterprise growth
· Strong Communication & Listening Skills — the ability to engage diverse stakeholders, advocate effectively, and build consensus
· eFinance — financial acumen at a senior level, including budgeting, reporting, and investment oversight
What We Offer
· The chance to play a meaningful role in preserving a nationally significant piece of railway heritage
· A welcoming, passionate, and collaborative board culture
· Induction, ongoing support, and trustee development opportunities
· The opportunity to help NYMR become a more diverse, inclusive, and forward-thinking organisation
Commitment
Trustees are asked to attend a minimum of six board meetings per year, plus sub-committee meetings and occasional events. Meetings are held along the railway, with some provision for remote attendance. You will need to be 18 years old and a member of North Yorkshire Moors Railway Trust.
This is a voluntary, unpaid role, though reasonable expenses maybe reimbursed.
We are looking for our next Chair of Trustees – someone who will work closely with our Executive Team and Board to guide the organisation through what is both a challenging and genuinely exciting time. The funding environment is tough. The political context is difficult. And yet the need for what we do has never been greater.
This is an unpaid voluntary role. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with our Volunteer Expenses Policy.
The successful candidate will lead a vibrant, well-established, national charity as it navigates the next chapter of its story.
