We’re Seeking New Trustees

Groundwork Northamptonshire is seeking new trustees to help steer and grow the organisation.

Kate Williams, CEO of Groundwork Northamptonshire, explains: “A strong, skilled and committed board of trustees is at the heart of our governance. The expertise of our trustees underpins our governance and supports our senior leadership team with strategic direction, vision and goal setting.”

Groundwork Northamptonshire is seeking new trustees who have one or more of the following:

  • Legal skills
  • HR Policies and safeguarding skills
  • Previous board experience for other not for profit organisations
  • Lived experience of the work that Groundwork Northamptonshire does
  • Experience of a school or young person’s environment/workplace
  • Interest in community development and voluntary work, the local environment and/ or wellbeing, creativity, children and young people
  • Volunteering experience with Groundwork Northamptonshire

Groundwork Northamptonshire would also love to recruit young people to their trustee board – those who are looking for board experience and want to further understand the voluntary and community sector.

Kate Williams added: “We want to expand the diversity of our board. We welcome applications from women, people of colour, people with disabilities and those aged 45 and under, as well as applications from other underrepresented or marginalised groups. We are a friendly and welcoming board in need of new perspectives and diverse voices to help us continue to ‘Change Lives and Change Places’ with those who need it most.”
