Due to recent and forthcoming planned retirements we are now seeking three new Trustees to join our diverse and dynamic Board of Trustees.
Trustees
Location: London, EC1V 9HU
Salary: This is an unpaid role, but we provide expenses for travel and subsistence.
Become, the national charity for children in care and young care leavers, is here to make a difference to individual lives right now, and to improve the care system as a whole for future generations. We believe that young people who’ve experienced care should have the same chances as everyone else to live happy, fulfilled lives. We put young people at the heart of everything we do – helping them to be powerful agents of positive change in their own lives, in the care system and in society.
Due to recent and forthcoming planned retirements we are now seeking three new Trustees to join our diverse and dynamic Board of Trustees.
As a Trustee you will have the opportunity to shape the future of our charity and work with other Trustees and the staff team to help us deliver our mission of helping children in care and young care leavers to unleash their potential and to make the care system the best it can be.
This is an important and exciting time to join Become as we finalise our new five year strategy with lots of ambition for the coming years.
Our target is to have at least half of our Board members who are care-experienced. We also actively seek to bring diversity of perspectives and experience, and welcome applications from younger people, those with disabilities, those from racially-marginalised backgrounds and LGBTQ+ communities. Gender balance is important to us, so we particularly encourage women to apply.
Closing date: 9.00am on Friday 8 November 2024
There will be a two stage interview process:
- Interview with young people (online) – Tuesday 19 November
- Interview with Trustees (and with the Chief Executive) – Thursday 28 November
The Board of Trustees interview will take place in person at 88 Old Street, London, EC1V 9HU.
