Our trustees set the vision and lead the charity: deciding how it is run and ensuring it does what it was set up to do. Their tasks include strategic decision making, oversight of risks, and managing finance and investments, leading and supporting key relationships, including with the Council, partner organisations and the local community, as well as applying their individual skills to support the work of a small professional team working in nature conservation, education and community engagement.
We are looking for candidates that are committed to understanding and playing their part in charity governance and as trustee, have the ability to work collaboratively and be resourceful, including in making and bringing connections that help us deliver our goals and are able to attend four in person board meetings each year plus a strategy day, plus ad ho involvement.
Candidates need to have one of the following three specific skills:
- Practical nature conservation expertise
- Education expertise
- Community engagement expertise
You should have a connection to south-west London as well as a demonstrable appreciation of wild spaces, and an understanding of their contribution to biodiversity and wellbeing, and of the challenges they face.
