Trustees (Voluntary role)
Overview
Are you passionate about strengthening your community and supporting children and families to thrive? Do you want to use your skills to make a meaningful difference?
Aspire Foundation is looking for new Trustees to join our Board.
We are particularly interested in people with experience or enthusiasm in Finance, Human Resources, IT, Data & Monitoring, or securing grant funding, especially within a small‑charity environment.
As a Trustee, you’ll work alongside fellow Board members to guide the strategic direction, governance and overall management of the Foundation. Your insight and expertise will help shape the services we deliver and ensure we remain accountable, effective and forward‑thinking.
With over 20 years’ experience, Aspire Foundation provides high‑quality early intervention services and educational programmes for families with young children. Our work includes family support services, children’s centres and early years settings, all designed to give children the best possible start.
In this role, you will:
- Contribute to the effective running of the Board Work closely with the Organisation
- Strategic Lead and Senior Management Team
- Provide strategic oversight, challenge and support
- Take part in recruitment processes for senior roles within the charity
The Board meets around six times a year, usually in the late afternoon.
We welcome people who bring energy, enthusiasm and a commitment to our mission, and who can help broaden the diversity of perspectives on our Board. If you’re ready to make a real impact and support a charity with a strong track record and a big heart, we’d love to hear from you.
Our Staff & Volunteers are encouraged to adopt our Values:
Respect – “We value, accept, listen and support everyone”
Integrity – “We are honest, dependable and accountable for our actions”
Collaboration – “We believe in the power of working together”
Excellence – “We strive to do our best through innovation & learning”
