Arts Emergency are looking to recruit three new trustees who can work effectively alongside the CEO and other board members to realise their vision. You’ll be committed to helping young people pursue their passions and creating a culture that’s inclusive for all.
They are looking for exceptional individuals to lead the charity through an exciting period of change and growth – working alongside the CEO and fellow board members.
They would welcome applications from individuals from all fields – but especially those with experience in finance, charity governance, fundraising, law, public relations and/or press.
From the three trustees appointed during this period of recruitment they will be looking to appoint a treasurer and two further trustees.
They will also be looking to appoint a Vice Chair or a Co-Chair (depending on experience) from their board of trustees, once these roles are filled.
Please note: This is a voluntary position with a four-year term of office, and a maximum nine years served in total
