Could you be a future leader for our Trustee Board?

What difference will you make?

Our Vice Chair will play a key role ensuring sound governance and maintaining relationships with our funders, supporters and the local community. We are keen to ensure succession for the Chair and so we are looking for someone who will take over that role in the next 12-18 months. Trustees are critical to the strategic development of the charity, and you will be required to attend regular meetings approximately once every two months and be able to devote some time outside those meetings to support the charity in delivering its vision. With over 533 people supported last year and 100% of families reporting an improvement in their mental health after receiving our support, being a trustee at Home-Start Bracknell Forest is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the local community. If you are passionate about supporting families in need and have the skills and experience to help us achieve our goals, we would love to hear from you.

What are we looking for?

Commitment to Home-Start. Willingness to devote the necessary time and effort. Strategic vision. Good, independent judgement. Ability to think creatively. Willingness to challenge. Understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship. Ability to work effectively as a member of a team. Leadership skills. Experience of committee work. Tact and diplomacy. Good communication and interpersonal skills. Impartiality, fairness and the ability to respect confidences.

What will you be doing?

Positive early experiences make a huge difference to a child’s life and family life is becoming more complex and challenging. Home-Start Bracknell Forest aims to help families with young children by providing non-judgemental personal support for parents in their homes and in group activities. As a charity we need a committed and talented Vice Chair to deputise for our Chair in leading and developing the Trustee Board.
