What difference will you make?

In this exciting role, you will lead the strategic process for winning new business through competitive bids, tenders, and proposals, ultimately elevating AHO's success. Your specialised knowledge of bids will enhance our win rates and maximise revenue by bringing clarity, quality, and coordination to what can be a complex, high-stakes journey.

Your primary mission is to boost AHO's tender win rates and strengthen our strategic advantage.  By diligently overseeing each step of the bidding process—from initial evaluation to final submission—you will significantly improve the quality and persuasion of our proposals, directly increasing our chances of securing valuable contracts.

You'll provide key insights to help AHO target the most promising opportunities by implementing a thoughtful "bid/no-bid" process.  This approach will ensure we focus only on lucrative and winnable contracts that closely align with our strategic goals, ultimately saving time and resources and allowing us to prioritise high-potential projects.

In this role, you will orchestrate a well-coordinated process that drives operational efficiency.  As the central point of contact, you will gather input from diverse internal teams—sales, finance, legal, and technical—ensuring everyone collaborates smoothly to meet critical deadlines.

As a leader, you'll elevate the quality of our bid content.  By overseeing the creation of compelling, polished materials, you'll ensure our final submissions are professional, cohesive, and error-free.  You will utilise a centralised content library containing valuable resources, such as case studies and CVs, to streamline efforts and enhance our proposals.

You will keep projects on track by developing detailed project plans and timelines, ensuring all tasks are completed on time—especially critical in the fast-paced environment of tender submissions.  Your effective management will ease colleagues' workloads, allowing the entire team to shine.

To foster long-term business growth, you'll create a wealth of knowledge around our tenders and bids. By conducting insightful post-submission debriefs and analysing feedback, you will capture invaluable lessons from both successes and setbacks.  This ongoing improvement process will enhance our bidding capabilities for future opportunities.

You also have the opportunity to enhance AHO's brand reputation by submitting well-organised, accurate, and compliant bids.  By doing so, you'll showcase our professionalism and reliability to clients, building trust and solidifying our credible standing in the market.

Strategic alignment is vital for sustaining consistent, stable business growth.  Together, we can make a remarkable impact on development.

Your expert understanding of charity and/or company accounts and financial management will ensure that trustees exercise their financial responsibilities. You will act as lead trustee on overseeing the annual audit, and advise on financial procedures, regular financial reporting and forecasting.

This will involve chairing the Trust’s Audit Committee, which meets once a year to receive draft charity accounts and audit reports for The Abbotsford Trust and its subsidiary Abbotsford Trading Company. The Committee is responsible for recommending accounts for approval to the Board of Directors, and for making recommendations on the appointment of auditors.

You will exercise oversight of the Trust’s financial management throughout the year through membership of the Executive Committee, which meets up to 10 times a year to receive financial reports from management. Trading Company management accounts are the responsibility of a separate Trading Company Board.

This role will suit someone with professional accountancy qualifications and experience of audited accounts. Ideally, but not necessarily, you will have experience of charity accounts.

Join the Team and Help Us Build the Future of The Swadhinata Trust 

The Swadhinata Trust is embarking on a journey of significant growth and transformation. Having recently refreshed our purpose, mission, and brand, we are now ready for our next big leap: transitioning from a grassroots volunteer organisation to a scalable charity with paid staff and expanded reach.

To reach our full potential, we need 'roll-up-your-sleeves' leaders who are eager to help us transform. This isn’t just about giving advice from the sidelines; it’s about being the engine of our transformation. Whether you are an expert in your field or looking to develop new skills, joining us as a collaborative partner offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible, lasting impact on our journey.

How Can You Help 

We are looking for both professionals and enthusiasts eager to use their skills to help us transform. Whether you can offer 2 hours a week or 10, your expertise will be a vital part of reaching our big goals. You don’t need to be a veteran in your field; we value a 'roll-up-your-sleeves' attitude and a commitment to our mission just as much as a CV.

Fundraising and Partnerships Volunteer

The Goal: Help us build the relationships that fuel our work. You’ll be part of the team that finds the resources we need to grow.

We’d love help with:

• Researching Opportunities: Finding new grants, trusts, or local businesses who might want to partner with us.

• Drafting Bids: Helping us write compelling stories and applications for funding.

• Relationship Building: Supporting our communications with current donors to keep them updated on our success.

What you bring:

• A gift for storytelling and clear, persuasive writing.

• A friendly, professional manner and a love for networking.

• Persistence and a "hunter" mindset for finding new opportunities.

The opportunity

The Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) provides BIICL’s Board of Trustees with oversight and assurance on our finances, controls, investments, and audit. We're looking for a chartered accountant or senior finance leader to chair the Committee and join our Board of Trustees at a pivotal moment: a new Director and CEO, a new Director of Operations in post, and a new strategy launching in 2027. You'll bring real technical credibility and the judgement to translate financial detail into confidence for a Board whose backgrounds are mostly legal and academic. In return, you'll help shape the next chapter of one of the world's most respected independent legal institutes.

The current Chair’s term ends in December 2026. We are seeking a successor to join in October, allowing time for handover and induction ahead of the November FAC meeting and the December Board meeting.

Purpose of the role

The Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee provides strategic, non-executive financial oversight rather than day-to-day accounting.

As a trustee, you hold joint legal and fiduciary responsibility for the charity’s overall governance, strategic direction and financial health.

As Committee Chair, you will act as a trusted advisor and critical friend to the Director and Chief Executive and the Director of Operations, ensuring that BIICL’s income is robustly governed, financial risks are mitigated, and resources are deployed optimally to deliver maximum social impact. BIICL outsources financial management to a specialist non-profit accountancy firm, overseen internally by the Director of Operations; you’ll evaluate how well that arrangement is working and recommend change if needed. 

Key responsibilities

Strategic financial oversight

· Budgetary scrutiny: oversee the annual £2.5m operational budget and financial forecasts provided by the executive team.

· Performance monitoring: review quarterly management accounts, analysing variances, cash flow health, and performance against key performance indicators (KPIs).

· Reserves management: champion the regular review of a robust Reserves Policy to safeguard the charity against sudden funding fluctuations.

· Investment assets: oversee the performance of the charity’s cash reserves and any investment portfolios, ensuring alignment with ethical investment strategies.

Audit, risk and internal controls

· Statutory reporting: lead the FAC in reviewing the Annual Report and Accounts, ensuring compliance with Charity SORP FRS102 and statutory filing deadlines.

· External audit: manage the relationship with the External Auditor, leading on the tender process and reviewing the post-audit management letter.

· Risk mitigation: oversee the financial section of the organisation’s risk register, ensuring internal controls are sufficient to prevent fraud and compliance failures across complex funding streams, and ensure FAC oversight of the wider Risk Register.

· Fiscal compliance: monitor compliance with complex tax regimes relevant to this scale, including VAT, Gift Aid, and trading subsidiary operations (as applicable).

Committee leadership and Board reporting

· Meeting governance: set the agenda and chair quarterly FAC meetings, fostering an environment of collaboration, constructive, and high-quality challenge.

· Board communication: report clearly to the full Board of Trustees, translating complex financial positions into strategic insights for non-financial board members.

Statutory trustee duties

· Legal compliance: ensure the charity complies with charity law, company law, and all other relevant legislation or regulation.

· Strategic direction: contribute actively to the Board of Trustees in setting the charity’s overarching vision, mission, values, and strategic goals.

· Asset protection: act as a responsible custodian of the charity’s assets, ensuring funds are spent solely in furtherance of its charitable objectives.

· Effective governance: attend and actively participate in full quarterly Board meetings, the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and strategic away days.

· Collective decision-making: maintain the principle of collective board responsibility, upholding and supporting decisions made by the wider board.

Legal and regulatory frameworks

The postholder is required to understand, uphold, and apply the following core regulatory frameworks:

· The 6 Essential Trustee Duties (Charity Commission Guidance CC3): You share collective legal liability to ensure the charity carries out its purpose for the public benefit, complies with its governing document, acts in the charity's best interests, manages resources responsibly, acts with reasonable care and skill, and remains fully accountable.

· Financial Reporting Standards 102 and the Charities SORP: Because our annual income exceeds £250,000, the accounts must be compiled under the Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP), transparently separating restricted, unrestricted, and designated funds.

· The Charity Governance Code: Our Board intends to benchmark itself against this code. You will directly champion Principle 5 (Board Effectiveness) and Principle 6 (Risk and Control) to ensure internal controls are regularly evaluated.

Person specification

Experience and qualifications

· Financial qualification: chartered status (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA) is essential.

· Senior leadership: proven experience operating as a CFO, Finance Director, or partner in a professional services practice in an organisation of similar or larger scale.

· Sector expertise: strong working knowledge of Charity SORP, restricted and unrestricted funding, and UK charity law is highly desirable.

· Governance background: previous experience as a trustee, non-executive director, or committee member is advantageous.  

Core skills and attributes

· Strategic clarity: ability to look past the numbers to see systematic risks and strategic opportunities.  

· Collaborative challenge: ability to robustly hold senior staff and third-party advisors to account while maintaining a supportive, professional working relationship.

· Communication: ability to explain intricate financial matters plainly to non-financial audiences.

· Commitment to the cause: a demonstrable passion for the charity’s core mission and alignment with its values. 

Terms of appointment

Term:

Trustee appointments are for a three-year term, renewable for a maximum of two consecutive terms.

Time commitment:

Trustees are required to commit approximately 8-10 days per year. There are four board meetings, four FAC meetings per year, a strategy day, plus approx. 2-3 hours per month for executive consultation. 

Location:

London/Hybrid – FAC meetings usually take place online; Board meetings and strategic away days are in-person, usually at our London office.

Remuneration:

This is a voluntary role and is not accompanied by any financial remuneration; however, all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed.

Reporting to:

Board of Trustees / Chair of the Board

How to apply

To apply formally, please submit a CV and supporting statement, each no more than two sides of A4, clearly outlining your suitability for the role against the criteria in the person specification and your motivation for applying.

Please include your home address, contact email, and mobile number.

We aim to acknowledge receipt within 2-3 days.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We expect to interview candidates from mid-September with a view to appointing by the end of October.

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 how money comes into Pinnacle. Grants, corporate sponsorship, community giving and donor relationships all sit with you, and your job is to make them add up to an income that is diversified enough to survive one of them failing — while laying the groundwork for the campaign that funds Vision 2030. Finance manages what we spend; you determine what there is to spend.

Key tasks

1.  Strategy & pipeline

○ Own the annual fundraising plan with clear targets by income stream, agreed with the CFO.

○ Maintain a live pipeline of funders, sponsors and donors with deadlines, values and likelihood.

○ Balance the portfolio so that no single funder or channel is a point of failure.

○ Sequence effort towards the Vision 2030 capital requirement rather than only this year's costs.

2.  Community & digital giving

○ Design and run giving campaigns, including seasonal appeals and sponsored challenges.

○ Own our giving platforms, donation pages and Gift Aid processing.

○ Build a regular giving programme and reduce lapse rates through timely, human communication.

○ Set the ask and the case; work with Marketing, who own the channels and audience.

3.  Donor care, compliance & reporting

○ Ensure every donation is acknowledged promptly and that donors hear what their money changed.

○ Maintain an accurate donor record with consent and preferences, compliant with GDPR.

○ Ensure all fundraising meets Fundraising Regulator standards.

○ Report income against target to the CFO monthly, with an honest read on the pipeline.

What we're looking for

● A track record of raising money —community fundraising or High net worth.

● Excellent written English; you can make a case that persuades a stranger to fund it.

● Comfortable with targets, pipelines and being measured against them.

● You understand the difference between an ask and a relationship, and know when each is appropriate.

● Organised enough to run several income streams without dropping the reporting on any of them.

● Experience of a capital appeal or major campaign (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.

1. Chair’s welcome

WCT has been part of the community for more than 40 years. At the heart of what we do is something very simple: helping people to get where they need and want to go, and making it possible for people to remain independent, connected and involved in their community.

Our services are about much more than getting from A to B. They enable people to go shopping, enjoy days out, maintain friendships and social connections, and take part in everyday life. We also work with schools, charities and other community organisations across Wandsworth, helping them provide the transport their communities need.

It is a particularly exciting time to join us. Since our new Chief Executive joined WCT in May 2026, we are finalising our organisational strategy for the next three years – protecting the trusted services people already rely on while looking carefully at how WCT can become stronger, more sustainable and continue to respond to the changing needs of our community.

Our Trustees have an important part to play in that next chapter. We are looking to strengthen our Board with some particular skills and experience, but we are equally interested in the different perspectives people bring. You do not need to have been a Trustee before. We welcome people who share our commitment to inclusion, independence and community, who are curious about our work and who are willing to contribute their experience, ideas and time.

Being a Trustee is a responsibility, but it should also be rewarding and enjoyable. We are a friendly Board, working alongside a committed staff and volunteer team and an organisation with a long history of making a very practical difference to people’s lives.

I hope this pack gives you a sense of who we are, where we are going and what being part of WCT could look like. If what you read interests you, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Hicky Clark
Chair of the Board of Trustees
Wandsworth Community Transport

2. About Wandsworth Community Transport

Wandsworth Community Transport (WCT) has been helping people get out and about for more than 40 years.

Founded in 1982, we provide safe, accessible and affordable transport and opportunities for people to stay independent, connected and involved in community life across Wandsworth.

Today, our work includes:

· Shopmobility – Supporting people to access local shopping safely and independently, with transport and shopping support from our base at Sainsbury’s in Garratt Lane.

· Silver Day Trippers and Road Runners – Affordable outings giving people opportunities to visit new places, enjoy shared experiences and spend time with others.

· Community vehicle hire – Providing minibuses and transport to charities, community groups, sports clubs, places of worship and other local organisations.

· School and contracted transport – Delivering specialist transport, including work in partnership with the London Borough of Wandsworth and local schools.

· Driver training – Sharing our specialist knowledge through MiDAS training for drivers working within WCT and other organisations.

· WCT Community Transport Choir – Founded in May 2018 and made up of people who access our services alongside WCT volunteers. Our choir brings people together through music and performs at local events, day centres and community groups across Wandsworth.

Behind all of this is a committed team of staff, drivers, volunteers and Trustees, together with longstanding relationships across the borough.

Our work is about much more than transport. It is about enabling people to remain independent, build friendships, enjoy new experiences, play a role in their community and stay connected to the people and places that matter to them.

That sense of connection and participation is at the heart of WCT – and has been for more than four decades.

3. Why join our Board now?

WCT is entering an important and exciting new chapter.

Since Peter Edwards, our new Chief Executive, joined in May 2026 we have been finalising our organisational strategy for the next three years. Our focus is on protecting and strengthening the services our community already values, while building a resilient, sustainable and forward-looking organisation.

An important part of this will be diversifying our income and developing new collaborations and partnerships. We want to build on WCT’s strong local relationships, work more closely with other charities, community organisations, funders and businesses, and explore opportunities to work together where our combined experience can create greater impact.

Community participation and innovation will help shape WCT’s future. We want the people who access our services – alongside our volunteers, staff and wider community – to have a meaningful voice in what comes next. By listening, consulting and involving people from the earliest stages, we can understand changing needs, identify new opportunities and develop ideas with our community rather than simply for it.

Alongside protecting our core community transport services, we will actively encourage innovation – exploring new ideas, testing new approaches and learning from what works. This could mean using our transport expertise in new ways, developing new services, or working collaboratively with partners to respond to needs that no single organisation can address alone. Innovation at WCT will always be purposeful: rooted in evidence, shaped by participation and focused on creating greater impact for our community.

This makes it a particularly interesting time to become a Trustee.

New Trustees will be joining a well-established local charity, with strong community relationships, but at a point when there is also real opportunity to contribute to what comes next.

You will have the opportunity to bring your own knowledge, experience and perspective to our discussions, help shape our future direction and work alongside fellow Trustees, our Chief Executive and the wider WCT team as we take the organisation into its next chapter.

In 2027, WCT will celebrate its 45th anniversary – an important milestone for an organisation that has been part of local life since 1982. We want to enter that anniversary year proud of our history, open to new ideas, ambitious for our future and continuing to make a meaningful difference to the communities we are here to serve.

4. Our Board

Our Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of Wandsworth Community Transport, working closely with our Chief Executive while maintaining the important distinction between governance and the day-to-day management of the charity.

Under the leadership of our experienced Chair, we are a friendly and engaged Board, bringing together a mix of professional expertise, community knowledge and lived experience. Our Trustees come from different backgrounds, and each brings something different to the table. We see that breadth of perspective as a real strength.

Trustees work collectively. No individual Trustee is expected to have all the answers. We ask questions, share knowledge, challenge constructively and support one another in making decisions in the best interests of WCT and the communities we serve.

Most matters are considered by the full Board, although we may establish smaller working groups for particular pieces of work when this is useful.

As WCT moves into its next chapter, we are also strengthening the way our Board works – including Board development, succession planning and more opportunities for Trustees to contribute to strategy.

Above all, we want our Board to be a place where different voices are heard and valued. We welcome challenge, curiosity and new ideas, and we want Trustees to feel able to contribute from their own experience while learning from others.

5. What makes a great WCT Trustee?

You do not need prior trustee experience to make a valuable contribution to the WCT board.

We are interested in people who care about our communities and believe in the importance of independence, inclusion and access to opportunities.

Great Trustees bring different things. You might bring professional expertise, knowledge of Wandsworth and its communities, insight from another sector, lived experience, or simply a perspective that is not currently represented around our Board table.

What matters to us is that you are willing to:

· Share knowledge, experience and ideas.

· Listen to and value different perspectives.

· Think strategically and look at the bigger picture.

· Ask questions and offer constructive challenge.

· Make decisions collectively and take shared responsibility for them.

· Champion inclusion, accessibility and community participation.

· Be curious, open to innovation and willing to learn.

· Act with integrity and always in the best interests of WCT and the communities we serve.

We particularly welcome people who can bring skills and experience to complement those already on our Board and we are committed to broadening the range of voices and perspectives involved in governance.

You will not be expected to arrive knowing everything about charity governance or community transport. We will support you to understand WCT, your responsibilities as a Trustee and the wider context in which we work.

What we are looking for most is people who want to contribute, participate and help us make good decisions together.

6. Trustee role profile

The role

As a Trustee of Wandsworth Community Transport, you will share responsibility with your fellow Trustees for the governance and strategic direction of the charity.

The Board works collectively to ensure that WCT remains true to its charitable purpose, is well governed and financially sustainable, manages its responsibilities and risks appropriately, and continues to deliver meaningful benefit for the people and communities we serve.

Our Chief Executive and staff team are responsible for the day-to-day running of WCT. The role of the Board is to provide strategic leadership, oversight, support and constructive challenge.

As a Trustee, you will:

· Help shape and oversee WCT’s strategic direction and future development

· Ensure that WCT remains focused on its charitable purpose and the needs of the communities it serves.

· Contribute actively to Board discussions and collective decision-making.

· Provide constructive support and challenge to the Chief Executive and senior team.

· Oversee WCT’s financial health and ensure its resources are used responsibly.

· Contribute to oversight of risk, safeguarding, legal and regulatory responsibilities.

· Support WCT’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.

· Champion meaningful community participation and ensure that the voices and experiences of the people we serve inform our thinking.

· Help WCT develop strong relationships, collaborations and partnerships.

· Act as an ambassador for WCT and help raise awareness of our work.

· Contribute your own knowledge, skills, networks and experience while respecting the perspectives of others.

· Act with integrity, confidentiality and in the best interests of WCT.

Collective responsibility

Trustees have collective responsibility for the decisions made by the Board. We therefore expect Trustees to prepare for and participate in meetings, contribute thoughtfully to discussions and support agreed decisions.

You will never be expected to manage WCT’s services or take on responsibilities that properly belong to our Chief Executive and staff team.

We want our Trustees to have the space to think strategically: asking the right questions, considering opportunities and risks, listening to our communities and helping WCT make well-informed decisions about its future.

Term of office

Trustees are appointed for a three-year term and may serve for a maximum of nine years, subject to reappointment and WCT’s governing arrangements.

The role is voluntary and unpaid, with reasonable expenses reimbursed in accordance with policy.

7. Who we’re particularly looking for

We want our Board to bring together a strong mix of skills, experience, backgrounds and perspectives.

Following our recent Board skills audit, we have identified some areas where additional experience would particularly strengthen WCT as we move into our next chapter.

You do not need to have previous Trustee experience, and we don’t expect any one person to cover all of these areas. We would particularly love to hear from people with experience in one or more of the following:

Fundraising + income generation

As we diversify our income and develop new partnerships, we would welcome someone with experience of fundraising, income generation or business development.

This might include trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, individual giving, commissioning, strategic partnerships or other approaches to developing sustainable income.

We are particularly interested in someone who can bring strategic thinking – helping us identify opportunities, build relationships and strengthen our approach to income diversification rather than being expected to personally fundraise for WCT.

Legal + compliance

We would welcome someone with legal, regulatory, governance or compliance experience who can help strengthen the Board’s collective understanding and oversight in these areas.

You might be a practising or former legal professional, work in compliance or regulation, or bring relevant experience from the charity, public or private sector.

Diversity, equity, inclusion + accessibility (DEIA)

Inclusion and accessibility are central to the communities we serve and to the organisation we want WCT to be.

We would welcome someone who can bring knowledge, experience or perspective that helps us continue developing our approach to DEIA across our governance, services, workforce, partnerships and community engagement.

Marketing, communications + social media

We would love to strengthen the Board with someone who understands how good communications can help a charity connect with its community, tell its story and build relationships.

We are particularly interested in experience of marketing, communications, digital engagement or social media – helping us think strategically about how WCT communicates its impact, reaches different audiences and grows its profile across Wandsworth and beyond.

Lived experience + community perspective

Professional expertise is only one form of expertise.

We particularly value lived experience and would welcome people who can bring perspectives shaped by their own life, their communities or their understanding of the people WCT serves.

This might include experience of disability or accessibility barriers, caring responsibilities, ageing, social isolation, community services or community transport – whether personally, through your family or the wider community.

We also want our Board to better reflect the diversity of Wandsworth and encourage applications from people whose voices and perspectives have traditionally been underrepresented in charity governance.

8. Meetings and time commitment

We want prospective Trustees to have a clear and realistic idea of the commitment involved.

Our Board meets six times a year, in person, at 6pm in central Wandsworth. We also hold our AGM in November, which Trustees are expected to attend.

Trustees receive papers in advance of each Board meeting and are expected to take the time to read these and come prepared to contribute to discussion and decision-making.

Most of our governance work is undertaken through the full Board. From time to time, we may establish a small working group for a particular piece of work, drawing on the skills, experience and interests of individual Trustees.

As we develop our new three-year strategy, we also intend to create opportunities for Trustees to come together for strategic planning and Board development outside our regular meeting cycle.

We recognise that our Trustees have work, family and other commitments. We don’t expect everyone to be available for everything, but we do ask Trustees to participate regularly, stay engaged with WCT between meetings where needed and contribute their time and expertise in a way that is manageable and meaningful.

9. Support and development

We want every Trustee to feel welcomed, supported and confident in their role.

You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about WCT, community transport or charity governance. New Trustees will receive an induction to help you understand the organisation, our services, your responsibilities as a Trustee and how our Board works.

You will be supported by our experienced Chair, Chief Executive and fellow Trustees, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and build your knowledge as you settle into the role.

We also encourage Trustees to get to know WCT beyond the Board table. This might include visiting our services, meeting staff and volunteers, joining one of our outings or community activities, and spending time with the people who access our services. We believe this first-hand understanding is an important part of being an effective WCT Trustee.

As a Board, we are committed to continuing to learn and develop. Trustees will have opportunities to take part in relevant training and Board development, as well as strategic planning sessions as we shape and oversee WCT’s future.

Whether this would be your first Trustee role or you already have considerable Board experience, we want you to feel able to contribute, ask questions, continue learning and enjoy being part of WCT.

10. Our commitment to DEIA

Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility are important to WCT – in the services we provide, the way we work and the way we govern our charity.

Our Board has adopted a DEIA Policy and Charter, alongside a three-year DEIA Strategy for 2026–2029 which will continue to develop as we learn, listen and strengthen our practice.

We want our Board to reflect a broad range of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives, and we particularly welcome applications from people in groups under-represented in charity governance.

We are committed to making our Trustee recruitment process as inclusive and accessible as possible. If there is anything we can do to make it easier for you to explore the opportunity, apply or participate in the recruitment process, please let us know.

For us, DEIA is not a finished piece of work. It is an ongoing commitment to listening, learning and ensuring that people have meaningful opportunities to participate in and help shape WCT.

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.
