Trustees
Citizens Advice
Citizens Advice Cornwall is a registered charity and offers free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone, covering areas such as benefits, debt, employment, housing, consumer issues and discrimination.
We are currently seeking to recruit two to three more volunteer Trustees, including a new Chair of the Trustee Board.
The successful candidates will join our Trustee Board, which provides strategic direction and oversight to the charity. We’re looking for ambitious and forward-thinking people to help us deliver on our dual mission of advice and advocacy.
This position would suit someone taking their first steps to develop wider board level experience, and for those who might be new to governance. We welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds, so no matter what experience you have, we will provide full induction, onboarding and regular training for your Trustee role.
At Citizens Advice Cornwall, we embrace and value diversity and we feel passionately that our Board should be representative of the diverse communities we serve. We’re looking for people who understand the reasons why people turn to us for help and support, helping us to continually evolve our work with this in mind. We therefore particularly welcome applications from those who may have lived experience of the issues our clients face, and we encourage people from all ages, communities and backgrounds to join us.
We’re also looking for people who have strategic-level experience in one or more areas where we’re building our capability:
· Business Development, Fundraising and Marketing,
· Using data and insight to campaign for policy and practice change,
This is an exciting time for our organisation, providing opportunity to bring in fresh perspectives and skills to our Board. With our current Chair coming to the end of their term in September 2025, we’re looking forward to finding our next Chair to lead the Board and bring valuable skills and experience to the organisation.
