About becoming a SERICC Trustee

Trustees play an important role in shaping SERICC’s future and ensuring the charity remains well governed, financially sustainable and responsive to the changing needs of the indviduals and communities we serve.

 

As a Trustee, you will contribute at a strategic, non-executive level, working collectively with other Board members and alongside SERICC’s Senior Management Team.

Our Board brings together a breadth of skills, knowledge, perspectives and experience to inform effective decision-making and strong governance.

 

What is the role of a Trustee?

Trustees are collectively responsible for the governance and strategic direction of SERICC. They provide oversight and constructive challenge rather than becoming involved in the day-to-day management of services.

 

Working together, Trustees:

• contribute to SERICC’s strategic direction and future development
• ensure the charity meets its legal, regulatory and financial responsibilities
• provide oversight, insight and constructive challenge
• consider organisational opportunities, risks and long-term sustainability
• ensure SERICC’s resources are used responsibly and effectively
• help protect SERICC’s values, reputation and survivor-centred approach
• ensure the organisation remains responsive to the needs of the people and communities it serves

Trustees work alongside an experienced Senior Management Team and, where appropriate, professional advisers, providing strategic oversight while responsibility for day-to-day delivery remains with staff.

 

Skills, experience and perspectives

SERICC is committed to maintaining a skilled and effective Board with a breadth of experience and perspectives.

We welcome interest from women who can contribute knowledge, insight and experience from a range of professional, community and personal contexts.

 

At this time, we are particularly interested in hearing from women with experience in areas including:

• finance and financial leadership
• human resources
• legal practice or a legal specialism
• safeguarding
• health and safety
• governance, risk or organisational development
• other areas of expertise that could strengthen and diversify our Board

We welcome a breadth of experience and perspectives, including the insight that lived experience can bring to governance.

Previous trustee experience is not required. A full induction and ongoing guidance and development are provided.
