Cyrenians Board - Trustee

Are you passionate about a fairer, more inclusive society? 

Would you like to join an innovative, compassionate charity that’s leading the way in tackling the causes and consequences of homelessness?

If so, apply now to join our Board of Trustees! Cyrenians is looking for new volunteer trustees to help guide our work to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness.

This is an opportunity to use your insight, professional experience and personal perspective to support an organisation that works alongside people facing tough realities - from housing insecurity and poverty to conflict, isolation, addiction and barriers to employment. Our work is valued-led and relationship-based.

As a trustee, you will help set direction, support good decision-making and ensure Cyrenians continues to use its resources wisely and effectively.

You do not need previous board experience. We are interested in people who can think strategically, work collaboratively and bring curiosity, commitment and sound judgement. Some examples of the experience or expertise you may bring include:

• Digital strategy, including cybersecurity, data and AI
• Commercial expertise
• Strategic fundraising
• Finance
• Legal background

However we also welcome applications from people who bring different skills and strengths.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and are actively seeking to broaden the diversity of our Board. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and are particularly keen to hear from women, people from minority ethnic backgrounds, including minority ethnic women, and disabled people, who are currently underrepresented on our Board. We believe that a diverse Board is better equipped to understand and respond to the needs of our communities, and we value the different perspectives and experiences that individuals bring.

Please see the Trustee Recruitment Pack for full details about the role, time commitment and application process.

Applications close at 12 noon on Monday 5 October.
