Trustee - Human Resources

We aim to be an inclusive organisation, and welcome applications from anyone interested in supporting our purpose, particularly from those who have lived experience of disability (either personally or through their role as a parent/carer) and/or the sectors of our community which are often under-represented on charity boards.

In return, we offer the opportunity to join a diverse and lively Board of Trustees.  We are passionate about HDSF and have a keen interest in the disability community and physical activity. We each bring a different set of skills to the Board (which we think is a real positive) and we try to ensure that each Trustee has the opportunity to make a difference to HDSF, using their personal and professional skills. We aim to be open, honest and supportive in our dealings with each other and with staff – balancing the role of critical friend with supporting the Senior Management team. And we recognise that all Trustees are volunteers – enjoying being a Trustee, feeling confident in your role and being able to make a difference are important to us and, we hope, to you.

In addition to the key skills for a Trustee, the ideal candidate would have a CIPD qualification as well as a number of years’ experience in a generalist role or across a number of HR specialisms.
