Join our Board of Trustees
GrantScape is seeking applications from enthusiastic and highly motivated people to join the Board of the Charity. There are currently three vacancies.
As a Trustee you will be responsible to help manage and govern the charity, and to ensure over £5M of funding each year is awarded to the most worthwhile community, environmental and educational projects throughout England and Wales.
Details of GrantScape’s range of grant-making can be found on the website: www.grantscape.org.uk
This is an opportunity for someone to obtain board level experience in a friendly, established and well governed charity.
One of the vacancies is for a qualified accountant to ensure the broad skill set of the Board is retained when two long standing trustees, with accountancy backgrounds, step down in 2024 as they reach the end of their tenure. We are also interested to hear from applicants with charity, legal, or marketing backgrounds. Experience of the renewable energy industry would be desirable, but is not essential.
GrantScape is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our trustees and staff. We want to ensure that when recruiting we do not discriminate against age, disability, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation among others.
The Charity normally has four board meetings a year. Two are usually held virtually, with the other two in Milton Keynes or in London. You will also be expected to participate in other grant-decision meetings by email, normally monthly, between board meetings.
This position is not remunerated but reasonable expenses will be paid in line with the Charity’s Expenses Policy.
Please apply by emailing your CV, together with a covering letter setting out your reasons for applying and what skills and strengths you can bring to the Charity, to the Chief Executive, Matt Young matt.young@grantscape.org.uk
If you would like to discuss the role further before applying, please contact Matt to arrange an informal chat.
