Job description

At the British Dyslexia Association (BDA), our trustees play a vital role in making sure that the organisation achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that the charity has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the Senior Management Team to enable the BDA to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.

Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute your skills and experience to a cause that matters, ensuring we stay true to our mission and achieve our goals.

For full details of the role including key responsibilities, the skills we are seeking from prospective applicants, along with the anticipated time commitment, please view the trustee role description.

We are seeking individuals who bring enthusiasm, integrity, and dedication to the role, and who can contribute fresh perspectives to our Board. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in the following areas, and ideally, with prior Board experience:

  • Dyslexia specialist within the field of education
  • Special educational needs – research expertise
  • Finance or technology

 

What’s in it for you:

As a trustee, you will have the chance to:

  • Make a difference: impacting the lives of those we support and contribute to a cause you care about.
  • Develop your skills: gain valuable experience.
  • Network: connect with like-minded individuals and expand your professional network.
  • Personal fulfilment: experience the satisfaction of giving back and contributing to something meaningful.
