                         We’re looking for new Trustees for Citizens Advice Bridgend

                                                          – could this be YOU!

What we do

Citizens Advice is a charity which provides free, independent, confidential and  impartial advice to help people face their problems. We provide a range of advice services to people across the county borough of Bridgend. Demand for our services continues to grow, from welfare reforms to debt problems to employment issues made significantly worse by the coronavirus pandemic.

Could you help make a real difference?

Trustees act together to provide strategic vision and direction for the charity, offer leadership and support to the Chief Officer towards achieving that vision, monitor financial management, and support staff and volunteers involved in day to day work.

We are looking for new Trustees to join our board. You should be passionate about wanting to make a difference, and value all people regardless of disability, gender or race.

We particularly welcome applications from women, from young people, and from local people whose life experiences would help people around you who are struggling with uncertainty, problems & pressures. We want the composition of the Board to reflect the diversity in the clients with whom we work, and we would particularly like to meet you if you are able to help us forge closer partnerships with other local and regional charities and organisations with complementary aims.

Your commitment to us

We want hands-on Trustees who have the time actively to make a difference to the growth of the charity. You will be expected to attend one board meeting and a couple of sub-committee meetings each quarter.  We also have an annual planning & review “away-day”. Currently we are meeting ‘virtually’, which we are considering making a longer-term arrangement to assist flexibility and encourage greater participation.

If you’re also able to give some additional time to contribute to working groups, policy discussions & fundraising opportunities on an ad-hoc basis, then that would be great but is not essential. Although trustees give their time for free, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are payable.

Our commitment to you

Being a Trustee is extremely rewarding and you can gain vital skills and experience in leadership, management and governance even if you are previously unfamiliar with working as part of committees. We offer training & support to all trustees, as well as a thorough induction.

What next?

Please send us an email, outlining your skills and experience and why you want to be a trustee with us. We will then arrange an informal discussion followed if successful by a more formal interview.
