Job description
We are looking for 3 trustees. One from the global majority, one with an interest in the management of risk and one with skills in marketing, communications or PR.
Background to Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust
Mosaic’s vision is to build a proud, strong and cohesive LGBT+ community that is safe from abuse, free from prejudice, healthy and making a positive contribution to society. Over more than 25 years, we have supported, educated and inspired thousands of young persons.
We have two distinct services: for 12 – 18 year olds and for 18 – 25 year olds.
Services for 12 – 18 year olds
- weekly youth group (Wednesday evening or Sunday night but you come to only one): 20 -25 young people, in our dedicated facility in Camden. Adult mentors available to discuss issues, lots of games and chat and music and then settle down to that week's workshop. Coined by our members as ‘Mosaic’, the Youth Club has been regularly referred to as being ‘home’ or ‘like family.’ We are supported by a dedicated team of LGBT+ volunteer staff role models who run workshops and forums on a range of matters from sexual health to Queer literature.
- schools mentoring: for anyone in London, usually arranged via school, our mentor goes into school. Aimed at those who cannot make youth group
- culture club: around 6 times every month there is something we are doing cultural, be it going to a show, or a gallery or a museum. We raise the funds so these trips are free and often there is a meal before or after
- book club, film club, homework club, yoga club: regular sessions where the name is self explanatory
- drama therapy: team from RADA running a series of sessions a few times a year
- counselling: we have a group of fully qualified psychotherapists offering one on one, group and family therapy
- big events:Homoween, Garden Party, Pride Prom, Clothes swap - big events which we advertise widely and attract up to 100 people to
- summer camp and winter retreat: residentials, the first focused on outdoor activity and the second focused on calmer activities
- Discord group: around 200 members in our moderated Discord space
Services for 18 – 25 year olds
- month young adults group: similar format to youth group but less often so that they organise their own activities too
- Mosaic Works: CV, and interview advice, mentored paid work experience. This is a huge focus for this group
- outdoor group: meet every few weeks to go kayaking, hiking, cycling etc
- counselling: same as for youth group
- culture club: a monthly trip out, usually to theatre
- summer residential: usually at Pride Youth Games

All of our roles have an initial common job description
As a member of Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust board (the “Board”) you help provide overall direction and leadership for the organisation’s strategy, with accountability for the organisation: sound management; financial health and quality of programme delivery.
General responsibilities (common to all Trustees)
In carrying out the collective responsibilities of the Board, individual Trustees should:
●Be an active participant, making relevant skills, experience and knowledge available to the organisation. This includes sitting on the Board and one of the Board subcommittees, occasionally attending events we are holding, and using personal networks to develop connections for the organisation
●Regularly attend Board meetings and prepare fully for those meetings including reading papers in advance, identifying key issues for discussion and providing advice and guidance on areas of expertise. Board meetings are held 5 times a year.
●Regularly attend the meetings of the subcommittee of which you are a member and prepare fully for those meetings including reading papers in advance, identifying key issues for discussion and providing advice and guidance on areas of expertise. Committee meetings are held 5 times a year.
●Have prior knowledge of, or take time to familiarise themselves with, best practices of Charity governance and operations including financial management. (We will provide guidance and training on this)
●Develop and maintain a sound and up-to-date knowledge of the organisation’s activities and any wider issues that affect its work
●Actively contribute towards the effectiveness of the Trustee Board, engaging in discussion, debate and voting in a considered and constructive way, participating in induction and training as required, and sharing ideas for how the Board can be improved
●Act in the best interests of Mosaic, including contributing to fundraising efforts, e.g. through personal contributions, introductions to potential supports and attending fundraising events
●Undertake an annual performance self-assessment, which will be reviewed in discussion with the Chair and Vice Chair.
●Act as brand ambassador when talking to other professionals raising profile and need for LGBT+ young persons’ services and placing Mosaic as a key provider of such services.
Specific to these jobs:
A trustee from the global majority
We need a Trustee from the global majority who will be able to provide us with insight and perspectives that are not fully represented at our Board meetings. We do have a diverse Board, but we are conscious that our membership, particularly in the young adults group, draws heavily from the global majority. We think we would benefit from another Trustee from this background. We are passionate about having diverse voices in our leadership because it helps us make better decisions. We also think we need to be sure we are hearing from people who have similar experiences to those we work with.
This Trustee position is open to those with a range of skills or specialisms, including but not limited to the provision of frontline services (for example safeguarding, working with young people, working with or knowledge of the challenges faced by LGBT+ refugees), marketing and fundraising (for example working in PR, having a knowledge of fundraising or events management) or charity management (for example financial skills - maybe gained outside the charity sector, governance or risk management).
We don’t need you to have been a Trustee before – we are committed to providing the training and support for anyone where this is their first Trustee role. Many of our current Trustees took this on as their first role and would now be regarded as experienced Trustees with a good knowledge of what is required to make the role a success..
Person Specification
Essential
● Lived experience of LGBT+ young people and the LGBT+ community.
● Lived experience of being from the global majority
● Commitment to Mosaic’s vision and mission.
● Understanding of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of a Trustee; or a willingness to get that understanding very early in the role
● Good communication skills and creative thinking
● Sound, independent judgment and strategic vision
● A willingness to speak their mind persuasively but diplomatically
● Confidence to take decisions for the good of the organisation
● Willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the duties of a Trustee
Desirable
● Experience managing a team
A Trustee with an interest in management of risk
We need a Trustee with an interest in the management of risk. For us that means keeping the risk register (we already have one, and its up to date and in good shape), and working with the chairs of the committees to ensure that their committee reviews the risks that they own (our experience is that they need a bit of a push to do it, but when they do it, it is done well). It also means saying “have we considered the risks here” when we discuss things at Board and making sure we keep that as a focus.
You don’t actually need to have done this before because it is relatively easy to understand and the role is keeping the organisation focused on risk rather than actually doing the risk management yourself.
We have a robust risk register and in the last 12 months we have spent half a day thinking specifically about our risk posture. We are losing the trustee who led this area and we need to replace them. If you have experience in governance of risk that would be great, but if you are simply interested in working with us and happy to pick up this area that is fine too. You don’t have to have been a trustee before, but if you have been that would be good.
Responsibilities specific to this role
● To work with the members of the Finance, Risk and Governance committee to maintain a register of the critical risks that the Charity faces.
● To work with the chairs of the Board Committees to ensure that the committees are regularly assessing their risks, and regularly taking action to mitigate those risks
● To be responsible for the keeping the risk register up to date
Person Specification
Essential
● Lived experience of LGBT+ young people and the LGBT+ community.
● Knowledge of risk, or willingness to learn, in relation to a charity for young persons and vulnerable adults.
● Commitment to Mosaic’s vision and mission.
● Understanding of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of a Trustee; or a willingness to get that understanding very early in the role
● Good communication skills and creative thinking
● Sound, independent judgment and strategic vision
● An ability to work with others
● A willingness to speak their mind persuasively but diplomatically
● Confidence to take decisions for the good of the organisation
● Willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the duties of a Trustee
Desirable
● Have managed a team of people
● Have an interest in corporate governance
A Trustee with skills in marketing, communications or PR
We need a Trustee with experience in marketing to join our Board and also our Marketing and Fundraising committee. We have a part time staff member who creates our material and posts it. We need ideas on how we might do better, reaching out to those who would benefit from what we do. You may have ideas about how we can improve our messaging, or where we could start to advertise and talk about what we do. We don’t need specific marketing skills but rather someone who is familiar with the way marketing works, who understands messaging and who has ideas on what we could do better. If you are familiar with new trends and technologies we could be making better use of that would be great.
Responsibilities specific to this role
● To work with the members of the Marketing and Fundraising committee to improve awareness of what Mosaic does among our target audiences.
Person Specification
Essential
● Lived experience of LGBT+ young people and the LGBT+ community.
● At least 2 years in a marketing role
● Commitment to Mosaic’s vision and mission.
● Understanding of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of a Trustee; or a willingness to get that understanding very early in the role
● Good communication skills and creative thinking
● Sound, independent judgment and strategic vision
