TRUSTEES

We are looking to recruit up to four new Trustees over the coming year. Currently we would particularly like to recruit Trustees with knowledge of or a background in finance/accounting, governance, human resources and fundraising.

As a user led organisation, we strongly encourage applications from people who have experience of the Criminal Justice and Mental Health systems.

You don’t need to have previous Board experience in order to become a Trustee with Wish as all training will be provided. If you are unsure whether being a Trustee is right for you, then please speak to us and we are happy to have a conversation

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds as we are actively seeking to develop our team to better represent the diverse community we live and work in. We particularly welcome applications from people of the Global Majority, of Black heritage, of South, East and South-East Asian heritage and/or people who identify as LGBTQIA+.

Due to the nature of WISH’s work, only women and non binary people are eligible to work for WISH. (Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1)

All Trustees work from our standard Trustee Job Description but what we are looking for most of all is:

• Passion and enthusiasm for social justice for underserved women.
• Commitment to our values and ethos
• Active participation by attending our meetings and contributing with expertise

We welcome your questions at all points of the process – so feel free to ask them.
