The Chiltern Society is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty, heritage, and accessibility of the Chilterns. As we continue to expand our impact, we are seeking to strengthen our Board of Trustees with individuals who have a passion for the area.

We have a number of openings for Trustees, including two key roles:

General (Company) Secretary:

This pivotal role includes managing board agendas, recording accurate minutes, and fulfilling the duties of Company Secretary. Candidates with legal expertise or previous experience as a Company Secretary are especially encouraged to apply.

The Volunteer Lead:

This role involves chairing the Volunteer Committee and leading efforts to enhance the experience of our 1,000+ volunteers. Experience in professional HR or volunteer management will be a distinct advantage.

As a Trustee, you will play a critical role in a volunteer-led organization that is making a tangible difference across the Chilterns. This is a chance to work collaboratively, contribute your expertise, and represent the diverse communities of our region.

The Chiltern Society values diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds in these roles and for all others.

We welcome applications from individuals with experience or enthusiasm in:

In addition to these two specific roles, we are always actively looking for Trustees and volunteers who can add value to our work and represent the wider Chilterns community.
