The Role

Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that Supportability achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity.
They also ensure that Supportability has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision.

You will do this by;

• Supporting and providing advice on Supportability’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
• Approve operational strategies and policies and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
• Oversee Supportability’s financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.
• Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.

What we’re looking for

We welcome interest from anyone with the required skills, experience and genuine desire to further the work of Supportability. However, we have recently undertaken a skills audit of our Board and identified the following areas where we would be particularly interested in exploring:

• Parent or carer of a child.
• Social care / social work - Local Government.
