Trustee with Registered Provider Experience at Turning Tides

What does the opportunity involve doing?

The voluntary Trustee role has various responsibilities such as governing the affairs of the Charity and ensuring it is financially sound. In order to increase our housing provision we are currently seeking registration as a Housing Association. We are, therefore, seeking to strengthen our Board by appointing someone who has substantial experience of working within a registered provider environment.

What induction, training and support is offered?

Should you have any questions about the role, please direct to sarah.clark@turning-tides.org.uk who will be happy to help. Sarah has supported the Board of Trustees over several years as part of her role PA to the Chief Executive.

What skills or qualities are needed?

Apart from the registered provider experience, no specific qualifications are necessary for the role. In terms of individual qualities, we are seeking someone who is a good listener and communicator and is willing to have difficult conversations and challenge when appropriate. Above all we are looking for someone who really wants to make a difference to homelessness in West Sussex.

We are fortunate having a number of very experienced Trustees on the Board and we can, therefore, provide comprehensive support to someone who has no previous experience of being a Trustee.
