People Trustee

Marwell Zoo

Marwell Zoo

South East Closing date for applications is: 29th Mar 2024
Contact: HR Team ([email protected])
Sector: Trustee
Type: Volunteer
Contract type: Part-time

As a registered charity, our governance and overall leadership rests with our Board of Trustees, who work alongside the Chief Executive and Director team.

Whilst membership of the Board is voluntary, it is a highly rewarding experience and Trustees contribute actively, taking significant responsibility for the governance and strategic direction of our organisation. Trustees are encouraged to contribute fully to the vibrant life of Marwell, with those already in this role finding it extremely fulfilling and are a vital part of the Marwell family.

With exciting times ahead, we are looking to complement our existing Board of Trustees with a suitably experienced and highly qualified HR professional.

In addition to the generic responsibilities and skills required of all our Board members, Marwell requires someone for this role who can demonstrate extensive HR expertise and wisdom, gained from a career in a commercial or senior not-for-profit environment, operating at Board level.

This role, like many Board appointments, is non-executive but critical in our overall governance, leadership and understanding of best practice.

We need you to be able to devote time for four Board meetings a year, and attend and support appropriate sub-committee meetings, which are held during the day. Whilst this is a voluntary unremunerated position, reasonable expenses will be paid.
