Could you be a Trustee for WILD Young Parents?
Help shape a better future for young parent families in Cornwall.
WILD is looking for new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the future of our work.
We particularly welcome people who are or have been a young parent, or who grew up in a young parent family. Your experience and understanding are valuable, and we want the voices of people who know what young parent family life is really like to help shape what WILD does.
You don't need previous Trustee or Board experience. We can support you through the application process and help you learn what you need to know.
We're also keen to hear from people who can bring skills and experience in areas such as:
- Strategy and development
- Finance and fundraising
- Communications and marketing
- Charity governance and law
- Influencing for change
- Leadership
- Understanding impact
- Health and social care systems
- Safeguarding
What does being a Trustee involve?
As a WILD Trustee, you'll work with the rest of the Board to help make important decisions, ensure WILD is meeting its goals and responsibilities, promote and champion our work, and advocate for young parent families.
The commitment is approximately 12 days per year, including:
- Four Board meetings each year, around two hours each
- Our Annual General Meeting
- Working groups
- Family or partner event
Meetings are held online with one board meeting face to face in Camborne, Cornwall.
Trustees are volunteers and can claim reasonable expenses. Appropriate checks and safeguarding requirements form part of the appointment process.
If you're interested in becoming a WILD Trustee, we'd love to hear from you.
To apply, please send us your CV and a covering letter telling us why you're interested in becoming a Trustee at WILD, and the experience, skills or perspectives you could bring to the role.
