North Devon Voluntary Services has a volunteering opportunity for a new Trustee.
Being one of our Charity trustees means helping to lead the organisation, to shape our future. It’s a vital and stimulating role, ensuring the charity is not only reaching its goals, but is forward-thinking and running as efficiently as possible. We are looking for someone with a keen interest and experience in fundraising, IT Support and/or working with young people. As a trustee you will help us set the direction of the organisation.

Becoming a trustee of a charity is both a rewarding way to help your community and a way to learn fantastic new skills. It’s an invigorating and dynamic role, which puts you at the very heart of the charity and its work, liaising with a team of like-minded people.
It’s also great experience to add to your CV, whether you work in the charity sector or not. And if you’re already highly skilled, it’s a great way to use these skills to make a difference for a cause you’re passionate about.
You will be:
- Contributing to a great cause
- Developing skills and experience in governance, strategy, and leadership
- Growing your professional and personal network
- Working with a diverse team of people who share our passion
- Learning about the charity sector and how it works
- Giving something back to your community
- Making friends and having fun
Trustees meet each quarter and those who support in specific areas meet with the Chief Office at a time convenient to them to discuss those relevant areas.
For an initial discussion please contact Marie Gould Chief Officer at chief.officer@ndvs.org.uk or Jon Wilkes Chair of Trustees at jon@ndvs.org.uk
