Green Standard Trust DAO is a community-governed, purpose-owned land trust powered by blockchain technology. They address three core challenges: the destruction of nature and lack of systemic protection for life sustaining ecosystems; global warming and climate change caused by deforestation and industrial farming; and, climate poverty, which will quickly become one of society's greatest challenges.
To solve these challenges, an alternative, purpose-owned, community-governed, impactful model is required. They have designed a new, complimentary system that inherently protects nature, helps stabilise our global climate and can lift millions or billions out of poverty, all while providing value to GST holders.

We are looking for a new Trustee who is willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. The Care Workers' Charity supports social care workers across the UK by providing mental health and wellbeing support, financial support in the form of crisis grants, and signposting applicants to other organisations and resources.
We are particularly looking for trustees who:
- have expertise or experience in industries apart from the care sector, or
- have experience of fundraising, or
- have charity experience, or
- have marketing experience, or
- have finance experience
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that The Care Workers’ Charity achieves its core purpose.

Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable us to grow and thrive.
As a small charity, there will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings. This may involve leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, presenting externally, representing the Charity, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise. Our trustees have a key role in risk management, working with the staff team to identify and manage risks.

Duties:
- Support and provide advice on The Care Workers’ Charity’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
- Approve operational strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
- Oversee The Care Workers’ Charity’s financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.

- Provide support and challenge to our CEO in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.
- Keep abreast of changes in our operating environment.
- Contribute to regular reviews of The Care Workers’ Charity’s own governance.
- Attend Board meetings (mostly remote and possibly one being face-to-face), adequately prepared to contribute to discussions and respond promptly to requests for required action.
- Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect The Care Workers’ Charity’s interests, to the exclusion of their own personal and/or any third party interests.
- Contribute to the broader promotion of The Care Workers’ Charity’s objects, aims and reputation by applying their skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
Please read the attached document which gives additional details, and includes a link to what being a charity trustee involves, eligibility requirements and the main duties and requirements of trustees.
