Help guide the future of the UK’s busiest Mountain Rescue Team
Are you passionate about supporting life-saving volunteer work in the mountains? Do you have expertise in governance, law, leadership, or volunteer management?
Llanberis Mountain Rescue is seeking new trustees to help steer our small but incredibly busy charity.
About Us
We are the busiest mountain rescue team in the UK, responding to over 300 calls a year on Yr Wyddfa and in Eryri.
Our charitable objectives cover rescue, education and promoting safety and care in the mountains.
As a registered charity, we need strong governance and strategic leadership to ensure our volunteers are safe, supported, and equipped to save lives.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking trustees with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Charity Governance & Legal Oversight Understanding of fiduciary duties, legal responsibilities, and governance frameworks within the UK charity sector.
- Regulatory Compliance & Volunteer Law Familiarity with contracts, safeguarding, and legal considerations relevant to managing volunteers in high-risk environments.
- Policy Review & Development Experience in reviewing, updating, and implementing charity policies to ensure they are compliant, practical, and aligned with best practice—especially in areas such as health & safety and volunteer conduct.
- Volunteer Management & Support Insight into recruiting, training, and retaining volunteers—especially in physically demanding and emotionally intense roles.
- Leadership & Change Management Proven ability to lead teams, mentor others, and guide organisations through growth or transition.
- Health & Safety in Outdoor Rescue Experience with risk assessments, incident reporting, and compliance with safety regulations in outdoor or emergency settings.
What You’ll Do
As a trustee, you’ll help shape our strategic direction, ensure legal and financial compliance, and champion the wellbeing of our volunteers. You’ll attend quarterly board meetings (ideally in person), contribute to working groups, and act as an ambassador for our work.
What You’ll Gain
- A meaningful role supporting life-saving work
- Opportunities to apply your expertise in a unique setting
- A collaborative, passionate team of fellow trustees and volunteers
- The satisfaction of helping others in moments that truly matter
