Trustee vacancy: UK Bangladesh Education Trust (UKBET)
Founded in 1993, the UK Bangladesh Education Trust [UKBET], a UK registered charity and international NGO registered in Bangladesh, is looking for one or two new dynamic trustees to join our board, supporting the charity’s mission to help end child labour in Bangladesh.
Our Doorstep Learning Programme engages and supports child domestic workers (95% girls) and their families. Trained and supported community teachers provide three individual or small group literacy, numeracy and life skills sessions for these working children as well as signposting for their families. A key aim is to support the children’s progression out of child labour to school or, for older children to vocational training. UKBET’s Family Futures microgrants address the root causes of child labour – family poverty. Parents can use these grants to start or continue small businesses to increase their family income, removing the need to send their children to work and enabling them to join school or, for older working children, vocational training.
Our work is funded through charitable donations, fundraising and grants.
The UK Board of Trustees set the direction for the charity and support the work of the Executive Director and his team who also benefit from an Advisory Group based in Sylhet, Bangladesh. We meet on line three or four times a year, and as needed, plus try to have an annual in person away day meeting. There are currently four experienced Trustees with a range of expertise across finance, income generation and education. We are seeking one or two new Trustees to join us, ideally leading in one or more of the following areas:
· Organisational efficiency to assume the role of Secretary
· Knowledge and connections to build interest and financial support from Bangladesh and/or the British Bangladeshi community
· Skills and expertise in social media and comms.
For more details on the role, please see the supporting Background information and JD.
To apply, please send your CV with a covering email outlining how you meet the JD criteria and telling us about any special areas of expertise and interest you could bring to the role.
Work to end child labour in Bangladesh by giving child workers access to education, school & training, addressing family poverty and changing mindsets

We focus on three main areas:

Emersons Green Village Hall is a charity which runs the community centre with the same name. Our aim is to be at the heart of the community. We run our own events and activities and hire out our rooms.
How To Apply:
Please send your CV with contact details of two referees. While we do use LinkedIn, we will not accept your LinkedIn profile in lieu of your CV.
The first step is for our Company Secretary to show you around Emersons Green Village Hall and answer any questions about our operations and the building. If you wish to proceed with your application after your visit and discussion, the Chair of Trustees will take up your references. If these are satisfactory, the Chair will interview you. The Board will then discuss any candidates proposed by the Chair at our next Trustee Meeting and you will be notified of the outcome by the Chair.
Our Company Secretary will then arrange for successful candidates to complete the necessary paperwork, including a basic DBS Check, before starting their roles as Trustees. Please note that the Chair meets with all new Trustees at the commencement of their role, to ensure that they receive an appropriate induction.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
