About the role

Thank you for your interest in joining Citizens Advice Havant, an advice charity committed to giving people in our local community the knowledge and confidence to find their way forward, whoever they are and whatever their position.

Our Trustee Board is well organised, highly skilled and strategy focussed. We currently have eight long serving Trustees and our Chair of Trustees is planning to step down after ten years in the role. We are seeking two to three new Trustees including a new Chair of Trustees who

  • can help CAH think long term and strategically
  • have strong communication skills and critical and curious minds
  • have the ability to influence key stakeholders within their sphere of expertise and more widely
  • understand how complex systems operate and can be improved

We are particularly interested in candidates with skills and experience in the areas of: fundraising, PR and social media, finance and law. The Board meets quarterly and there are also regular working group meetings. The time commitment is likely to be one day a month for Trustees and up to three days a month for the Chair of Trustees.  

We are about to enter a new phase of strategic development; with our local authority core funding newly secured for two/three years ahead via a competitive commissioning process, new and innovative funded projects; including our award-winning Work Out Your Money project, a strong management team and opportunities shortly to open for an important community focussed service redesign.
