Trustee

SEND and You


Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Bristol
Contract type: Full time
We are seeking Trustees to guide how we do our job of providing information, advice and support for children and young people with Special Educational Needs/Disabilities and their families in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.

What difference will you make?

Support from SEND And You can have a deep and lasting positive impact on the lives of children/young people with SEND, and their families. The challenges faced by our service users are increasing and changing, and it is imperative that we have a sound foundation in order to deliver our existing services and develop new ones.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking people who have worked with challenge and change, and have experience of setting and overseeing strategies and policies.

This expertise might come from managing within an organisation, or from lived experience of SEND (either personally or as a supporter of someone with SEND).

Previous experience as a Trustee is desirable but not essential. We provide induction, training and support so that our Trustees are confident across the whole of our work.

We are looking for people who are

  • committed to, and enthusiastic about, SEND And You
  • willing and able to understand and accept the responsibilities and liabilities of Trustees, and to act in the best interests of the organisation
  • able to think creatively and strategically, and exercise good, independent judgment
  • able to communicate effectively and to join in a discussion
  • happy to take responsibility and to work as a team member
  • strongly committed to equity, diversity and inclusion
  • able to commit the time and energy required to fulfil their role.

In addition, we expect all Trustees to be committed to the Nolan principles of public life Selflessness; integrity; objectivity; accountability; openness; honesty and leadership.

What will you be doing?

Our Trustees play a vital role in making sure that SEND And You achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the Charity.

Trustees also ensure that SEND And You has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable SEND And You to grow and thrive and so achieve our mission.
