Trustee (Voluntary position)

We are seeking two Trustees to help mould the organisation’s future and enable everyone in Gloucestershire to live healthy, happy lives.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of the Charity. They determine policies and objectives while ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. Trustees determine budgets and evaluate staff performances – safeguarding the financial health of the organsisation. They act with care and skill to reduce risks to the organsiation, and ensure transparency and accountability in decision-making. Furthermore, Trustees monitor and report the Charity’s progress to key stakeholders and regulators.

For this position, we hope to hear from strategic thinkers, who are able to remain objective and focus on the bigger picture during decision-making. The Trustees will be team players, who thrive when sharing their skills and knowledge. They will be committed to personal development, and strongly advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion.

In addition to these characteristics, the successful candidates will have experience in one or more of the following areas:

• The voluntary and community sector – including Charity leadership.
• Health, wellbeing or physical activity in Gloucestershire
• People who have been impacted by inequalities in sport and physical activity

Active Gloucestershire’s Board represents the perspectives and diversity of the we can move community. They welcome applications from any and all backgrounds. Experience as a Trustee is not necessary – alignment with the organisational values is far more important. New Trustees will receive an induction and will be paired with a ‘Board Buddy’ to gain the knowledge, confidence and skill to hit the ground running.
