Trustee - Senior Lawyer with commercial/chancery experience, to join World Horse Welfare

Our charity’s incredible volunteers help with our work across our four rescue and rehoming centres, at our Head Office in Norfolk, out at events, and make up our Council of Trustees. 

What will you be doing?

We currently have a vacancy on the Council of Trustees for a  senior lawyer with commercial/chancery experience and, while equine experience would be a bonus, you only need an empathy with our aims and an interest in helping to guide our work. We take pride in our values of being realistic in our approach, compassionate in our attitudes, behaviour, and decision-making, and forward-thinking in anticipating challenge and change. The successful person will be expected to share these values.

We embrace a diversity of perspectives to inform our day-to-day work, something which we would also like to see reflected in membership of our Council. We encourage expressions of interest from currently under-represented groups, including people from a broad age range, LGBTQ+, ethnically-diverse communities and disabled people.   

What are we looking for?

We are currently looking for a Senior Lawyer with commercial/chancery experience.

What difference will you make?

In return for their time and knowledge, Trustees enjoy the opportunity to use and build their skills, attend a range of special events, become part of an outstanding network, and influence the direction of our charity.
