A Board Observer is a "charity trustee in training". Observers attend the charity's quarterly board meetings to observe the work of the charity and discuss our progress towards our goals and help shape our strategic vision. This is an ideal opportunity to learn what trustee-ship is about, to discover more about our charity, our team and our work.

We especially welcome applications from people who have not previously been a trustee of a charity. Each board observer is "buddied up" with a more experienced trustee to develop their governance skills. Our charity also arranges online training via the NCVO in all aspects of charity governance, to develop your skills over 12-18 month period, with a view to becoming a trustee by mutual agreement at that point.

We are seeking people aged in their 20s and 30s, to compliment the balance of skills and experiences on our charity's board. We are particularly interested in discussing the role with people who have a grants and trusts fundraising background, or who have prior community fundraising experience in another voluntary sector setting, although this is not essential.

We are actively seeking two new trustees to join our Management Committee to help support and develop the charity. It is not necessary to have trustee experience but an enthusiasm for our work and young people is vital. You will need to have sound independent judgement, strategic vision, ability to work as a team and not be disqualified by law from acting as a charity trustee.

If you have experience in one of the following then we would be particularly interested:

• finance
• human resources
• youth work
• management
• volunteering

Our charity is the largest provider of open-access youth work in Cambridgeshire and so a knowledge of the area would be helpful along with an interest in the issues young people face.

Normally the management committee meet 5 times a year in person in Histon, Cambridge (evenings). This is currently more often and via video conferencing.

For more information, application form and job description then please get in touch with Alan Webb (Project Manager) via our website.
