Wanted - External Trustees
posted: 28/09/2009
George House Trust works alongside 2,500 men, women, and children living with or affected by HIV. We provide a range of innovative services to people living with HIV across the North West of England. In 2010 we will be celebrating our 25th Anniversary.
Two Trustees please
George House Trust seeks two skilled Trustees to join our existing Management Committee. We are looking for people with Human Resources, PR and Marketing Skills.
Our Management Committee is elected from our membership, and consists entirely of either service users or active volunteers from our organisation. We believe this is vital to ensure that the needs of people living with HIV remain at the heart of the organisation.
Our Trustees have identified that we need to co-opt 2 people who are not members of George House Trust onto the Management Committee to broaden the skill base and bring additional perspectives. We want two motivated and committed individuals, with a clear evidence of skills in either:
- Human Resources, or
- Marketing / PR
We welcome applications from successful individuals working within the charity, statutory or commercial sectors. As a Trustee you will be directly involved in influencing the strategy of the organisation, ensuring effective governance, and supporting the senior management team.
We welcome applications from all sectors of society but particularly encourage applications from women and black and minority ethnic candidates so our Management Committee is diverse and representative.
This is a voluntary role, and requires a commitment of an average 4 hours a month. Please note this role will be subject to an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check. No specific knowledge of HIV is required as full training will be given to provide the successful candidates with the HIV knowledge you need.

Closing date for applications - 5pm Friday 16th October 2009
