Trustees
We are currently looking for new Trustees with experience in the following areas:
Legal background, or expert knowledge
Governance
Time commitment:
Up to seven Board meetings per year, these may take place via video conferencing or in the Maidstone office dependent on the needs and availability of the Trustees attending. We ask Trustees to commit to attending at least three meetings in person at the office, or in another suitable venue, and at least five meetings in total over the year. All meetings are held at times to suit those Trustees attending. In addition, Trustees are expected to attend and/or support events, if and when this is needed. This may be up to three additional engagements per year. Trustee training will be provided and there is an expectation that Trustees will complete a basic level of training in areas such as safeguarding.
Remuneration
The role of a Trustee is a voluntary position and is therefore not remunerated. However, reasonable expenses for travel, training and prior approved expenses incurred in carrying out duties may be claimed.
Location
Maidstone, Kent. Meetings currently online with a significant proportion to stay online moving forward.
Skills required
Trustees are sought who have a strong empathy with our mission to support children and young people with Down’s syndrome and their families, to access the right support to live full and vibrant lives.
