Job Description

Groundwork Five Counties supports local communities and businesses to build capacity and resilience. The organisation was established in 1990 and does its work in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland.

Everything we do revolves around: People, Place, Planet.

We’re passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny and no-one is held back by their background or circumstances.

We are recruiting for multiple Trustees to join our non-executive Board.

There is no requirement to have served on a Board previously, and we are keen to diversify the range of voices, perspectives and backgrounds represented. We encourage applications from people with direct experience of the challenges we work to address through our projects and programmes.

We want to continue to expand the diversity of our board and encourage applications from women, people of ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and those aged 45 and under. We warmly welcome applications from other under-represented or marginalised groups.

This Trustee position is a great opportunity for passionate people to join a charity that every day makes a difference to communities around in the East Midlands.

Please note this is an unpaid position but expenses will be covered. We prefer to hold our quarterly meetings face-to-face, however we do offer hybrid options and are flexible to accommodate the right candidates.

Application closing date is 5pm on Monday 2nd September 2024

We will also be holding an information evening where there will be the opportunity to meet our current Trustees, Executive Director and some of the Groundwork team.

Monday 9th September,  5 – 7 pm
Location: Shakespeare Martineau Waterfront House, Waterfront Plaza, 35 Station Street, Nottingham, NG2 3DQ
