Essential Attributes: • Experience as a Trustee, ideally with Chair experience or at a larger organisation. • A collaborative, empowering and coaching approach to leadership. • Strong alignment with the charity's mission, values, and goals. • An understanding of the justice system or lived experience that connects you to the challenges faced by our Trainees. • Strategic insight, with a track record of leading organisations through growth and change and an ability to balance managing risk against innovation • Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills, with the ability to inspire and unite stakeholders. Time Commitment: Approximately two days per month, with flexibility for key periods such as strategy development or major events. The initial term is three years, renewable for up to six further years. Remuneration: This is a voluntary position. Travel and other reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
