Trustee

We’re recruiting new voluntary trustees to join us in our 50th anniversary year and help safeguard SAVE’s mission to protect historic buildings. Our trustees guide and support our work, ensuring we can continue to champion repair and reuse.

SAVE is a national charity which campaigns for the retention and reuse of historic buildings. Founded in 1975, some of our most notable campaigns include those for Smithfield Market, Wentworth Woodhouse, and the flagship Marks and Spencer store on Oxford Street. Our campaigns frequently bring together local groups, the media, architects and engineers to give buildings a second chance. We also run a Buildings at Risk register and host regular events promoting the protection and enjoyment of the historic environment. It is an exciting and busy time to join us, in the middle of a range of special events and activities to mark our 50th year; we are hosting events up and down the country, and our Buildings at Risk register was recently made free to access for everyone.

We’re looking for people who can:

• Offer their professional experience, knowledge and skills to further our mission
• Advocate for and promote SAVE’s work within their networks
• Commit to a three-year appointment term, with the possibility of extension

We’d particularly welcome applications from people with skills in:

• Campaigning and press
• Marketing
• Legal expertise
• Strategic planning and creative thinking

Previous trustee experience is not required. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from people whose identities and experiences are underrepresented in the heritage sector.

Please see the application pack for full details and how to apply.

The closing date for applications is Friday 3rd October. Interviews will take place in the week commencing 27th October.
