WHY BECOME AN MGTS TRUSTEE?
Getting involved as a Charity Trustee is a great way to put your professional skills to use, but can also be a fantastic opportunity to learn new things. You’ll get great insight into what’s involved in the management of a charity and work with a team of like-minded people, adding value to the success of MGTS. They are fortunate enough to have an active Board of Trustees who have a real enthusiasm for their work and are able to make the necessary time commitment to the role.
Whether you are an experienced trustee or wanting to take your first step at board level, MGTS want to hear from you. Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups are currently under-represented on the board, so applications from members of these communities are particularly encouraged to diversify the board membership and bring a different voice to an existing talented board. They would also welcome applications from younger members.
If you have proven knowledge in one or more of the following areas, even better:
- Education
- Manufacturing and/or Engineering
- People and Organisational Development
- Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
- Successful candidates will need strategic vision, a strong understanding of the role of Charity Trustee and independent judgement. You may find it helpful to view the Charity Commission guidance on being a Trustee.
TIME COMMITMENT
You will be asked to attend a maximum of four meetings per annum at the Coventry based head office; typical meeting duration is 2 hours. There will be appropriate time before and between meetings to read papers and stay abreast of relevant development.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Trustee positions are not remunerated, but reasonable travel expenses will be considered for reimbursement.
