Trustee vacancy – Co-operative Heritage Trust

Nominations are now sought from strategic thinkers who have the time and skills to contribute to this important role and are able and willing to contribute effectively at Board meetings. Meetings take place during the day and in 2023 there are 3 board meetings scheduled and a Budget Meeting in addition to the AGM. Additionally, a Trustee strategy day will take place as well as a Trustee induction session for any new Trustees appointed at the AGM. Meetings generally take place by videoconference, with the AGM and strategy day taking place in-person in Manchester and Rochdale. In particular the Trustees are seeking heritage sector fundraising experience and/or conservation/archival skills at the present time.

Trustees provide robust oversight, strategic direction, ensure effective governance arrangements are in place, rigorously monitor the charity’s performance and provide guidance, advice and support in the delivery of the charity’s objectives.

Trustee positions are unremunerated, but all reasonable and related expenses are met by the charity. Support, induction training and guidance as well as any continued relevant training are provided to Trustees in order to ensure Trustees can fulfil their roles as effectively as possible.

The Co-operative Heritage Trust CIO is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion and welcomes diversity in the people the charity serves and also in the workforce, Trustee Board and our volunteers.

Additional information
