Trustee - Business Strategy & Growth

Paul's Place (South West) Location: Bristol (hybrid) Time commitment: c.4 board meetings per year Unremunerated Expenses reimbursed

Paul's Place is a well-established charity supporting physically disabled adults to live independent, fulfilling lives. Following a £2m investment in a new, purpose-built Hub, the organisation is entering its next phase of growth and sustainability.

We are seeking a Trustee with strong business, strategy or growth experience to join our Board and help shape the charity's long-term direction.

This is a governance role, not an operational one. As a Trustee, you will work alongside a skilled Board and senior leadership team to:

• Provide strategic challenge and oversight
• Support sustainable growth and long-term financial resilience
• Contribute commercial insight to decision-making
• Help ensure strong governance, risk management and value for money

We are keen to hear from senior professionals with experience in areas such as:

• Business strategy and organisational growth
• Commercial leadership, finance or professional services
• Scaling organisations, change management or sustainability
• Senior decision-making in complex environments

You do not need prior trustee experience. We are particularly interested in individuals who bring commercial rigour, sound judgement and the confidence to challenge constructively.

• Use your commercial expertise for meaningful social impact
• Gain or deepen board-level governance experience
• Join a supportive, well-run organisation at a pivotal moment
• See the real-world impact of strategic decisions

Trustees attend four board meetings per year (evenings, hybrid) plus occasional additional activity by agreement. Full induction and training are provided.
