VICE CHAIR AND CHAIR OF TRUSTEE BOARD

Company: Orchard Heritage

Location: Woodland Heritage, Whitney Sawmills, Old Station Yard, Hereford, HR3 6EZ

Closing Date: Friday, January 03, 2025

Salary: N/A

Woodland Heritage is looking to recruit a Vice Chair and Chair to its trustee board.

You would be joining a dedicated and passionate group of volunteers and a wider staff group who are developing exciting plans for the charity’s future.

Experience of the charity / woodland / forestry / timber / making sectors is helpful but certainly not essential.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of people and we want to listen to your ideas and benefit from your guidance. If you have any questions about this, please do ask.

What is essential is compatibility with the charity’s mission and values and the desire to bring your life’s experiences and skills to the table.

In addition to bi-monthly trustee meetings, which usually take place virtually and in the evening (though a few times per year these will be in person or hybrid meetings for which reasonable expenses will of course be paid), there will be additional time and involvement required to undertake these roles effectively. The role of chair in particular would suit someone who wants to give several hours of their time per week.

Skills & Experience

There are many ways to be an effective trustee and you can read more about the essentials on the gov.uk website. You may have skills in the following areas:

- Governance

- Finance

- Risk management

- Fundraising and Marketing

- Business

- Forestry & Making

- Culture & People

Supporting you

You will be supported with an initial induction with the staff team. This will be followed by activities to familiarise yourself with the organisation’s activities and your governance role.

Once you have become familiar with these you will be able to get more involved in those things which you find exciting and rewarding.

Along the way you will be supported by the staff team and trustees to make a real difference!
