Trustee

Could you help us support communities in Devon to thrive?

Devon Communities Together is recruiting for new Trustees to join our dynamic Board of Trustees. With the pending restructure of our council networks across the county, this is your opportunity to help shape the future direction of our charity and ensure that the voices of Devon’s rural and coastal communities are heard loud and clear. 

Being a Trustee of a charity is a great way of using your experience and enthusiasm to make a difference to people’s lives, meet new people and even learn some new skills along the way. 

What does our Board of Trustees do?

Our Board members have a dual legal role as Trustees of the Charity and Company Directors. The Board takes a strategic overview of the organisation and provides guidance to our Executive Management staff team, on the financial and legal aspects of organisational management. As our new Trustee, you will play a key strategic role in shaping the future direction and sustainability of our charity. 

What skills and experience are we looking for?

Are you passionate about using your skills and experience to help shape the future of our charity? Perhaps you are looking for a new voluntary challenge. Whether you are an experienced Trustee, or wanting to take your first step at Board level, we would love to hear from you.

• We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with digital or technology experience, ensuring we can support communities across Devon to adapt to and benefit from ongoing digital developments. 
• We also welcome interest from those with experience in Marketing & Communications or Legal and HR, whose skills will help strengthen our governance, profile, and engagement with the communities we serve. 

This opportunity could give you the chance to impart your experience and knowledge within our organisation.
